Some stuttering
« on: July 28, 2020, 06:19:25 PM »
Back to AH after many years. I've noticed some stuttering in both online and offline flying, particularly online. Tonight, online, it was really bad, though some of that might have been ISP issues. Anyway, if anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it. I also play the naval portion of War Thunder and, besides warnings of bad internet connections, I have no issues with video. It would be nice to continue taking to the skies in AH.
My machine is kind of old. I'm running a GE Force GT 730 with this system: intel i5-440

Try running the Aces High III DX9 version from the Aces High III folder in the start menu.

If that doesn't help much...try these settings (I would still recommend the DX9 version because DX11 is known to stutter a lot)

In the startup screen under Video Settings
  set resolution to at or near    1280 x 720
  set max texture size to  1024 or less

In the game menu under Options> Graphic Detail
  set Environment Map to 0 or 1
  reduce detail and disable features until things smooth out

Thanks Drane, I will give it a try. I suspect it's a DirectX sound problem, but with all the "improvements" to windows, I can't figure out how to turn off sound accelleration.

Thanks Drane, took a short hop up and spent my time (maybe I shouldn't admit this) happily vulching a base with several hangers and strats down and no stutter problem. I appreciate the advice.
