HardLine please tell people that you are running Vista and this work arround will not work with Win7 I can't tell ppl this as I did it WITH windows 7 X64.. the same commands are in 7.. windows 7 has the same underlying kernel as vista just a little smaller with performance imporovments.. you have to make sure you run the admin privilige.... right click the cmd in accessories adn choose run as administrator then it will work

I am amazed that people do not understand First Aid, and continue to post their problems here, maybe Kevin has a point, but not everyone can read english, and even if they do, it doesn't mean they have any common sense  I think it just that people are looking for help where ever they can. And posting where they hope a dev will read and hopefully give some feed back. I do agree that people who are having problems(like me heh) should follow the First Aid suggestions listed and then report back if these steps didn't help.

Possible graphics stuttering fix ( worked for me) would like soem feedback if it fixes anyone elses problems I have found a tweak to the ntfs file sytem that happened to fix my stuttering issue.. was so bad I could barely play (core 2 duo e7200 OC'd 4.03 8GB of ram 8800 GT 512MB)
This fixed it for me Type in the following command to increase the cache setting:
fsutil behavior set memoryusage 2 Please note that these OS changes on a "lower level" may seem to solve certain problems, but may also have side effects that are not documented or well-known. A lot of the Windows tweaking tips may be dangerous or have no effect at all. I do believe that changing this may solve problems, but a good defrag may also fix read/write operations  For instance, concerning the fsutil memoryusage command, read this: http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-ntfs-memory.htmlAnd note on that page: Note this setting is mainly for server systems with a high end disk system that consists of multiple disks, which is bombarded with file operations (Like a Web-Server). Note when increasing the memory usage, then it will use more of both paged- and non-paged-memory. Therefore make sure that existing services/drivers are not already using the available paged and non-paged memory, as these services might perform worse with less memory available. I am always cautious when reading tweaking tips, and google for technical explanations, preferably from Microsoft's own website. I always start from the fact that Windows is at its best as it was shipped. I would like to politely urge our players to act and think similarly

I would like to politely urge our players to act and think similarly I agree that sometimes there are side effects.. however I found that windows 7 incorrectly set my machine with a value of zero as in "0" file system buffer and I have 8GB of ram.. that is a big mistake and from what I have read, should have at least been set to 1 by default..sometimes the os does not do the right thing and causes an issue.please keep in mind.. I am a system builder and have managed several repair companies before starting my own.. ( not trying to gloat just show experience )

Okay, you're right, that is true! I am guessing that windows is incorrectly setting the value to 0 during install. but that is def causing streaming issues from the game engine

To check the current value, type in this command:
fsutil behavior query memoryusage
To change the setting back to the default, use this command:
fsutil behavior set memoryusage 1

command prompt is in the all programs/accessories menu ( sorry for the long delay for me to get back to you...) mine was set at 0 as well and after changing to 2, stuttering problem is gone I can play on extreme settings @ 1680x1050... after checking default, if it is set at 0, then go back and change to 2.. and I am 90% sure your problem goes away.. what is being altered is the file system cache buffer. make sure to right click it and choose run as administrator otherwise you cannot change system settings I hope this helps.. let me know if it works for you however I found that windows 7 incorrectly set my machine with a value of zero as in "0" file system buffer and I have 8GB of ram.. that is a big mistake and from what I have read, should have at least been set to 1 by default.. Okay, you're right, that is true! I have set it to 0, no sluttering here :P
