SH4 v1.5 stuttering - here is some help.

Hi All,


My OS. XP Pro
I tried shutting down virus checkers and other files but kept getting a stuttering (hesitation) at 1 sec intervals.

So finally I downloaded a free version of Game XP. Its freeware from
http://www.theorica.net and works very well...stutters are now gone.

This utility turns off all non essential services and can restore them whenever you want.

I been using it on and off for quite sometime. (never had to format etc.)

==================================

I hope this temp fix helps someone until a patch comes along.

Whath is this "stuttering" you talk about? I have a sound issue that comes when I have used high TC. The noise dissapears when I reload the game. Is it this you talk about?

just make a registry backup before install the program, it could work in case of problems

No, stuttering is when the screen frame pauses (hesitation) at 1 sec intervals. Joe

OK, thanks Vorkapitän. I don´t have that problem. Now I understand. Does anyone else have this sound issue after using high TC?

I ran into this also Sober. Go to START, RUN and type in regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and you thumbnail pics will display like you had before running this program. Some how this program screws with the windows fax and picture program.
