Opening Movie Stuttering

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

Hello
I am starting to play SHIII and when i start up, the opening movie stutters. it is playing but stuttering. is this a fixable or common problem? i also was unable to succesffuly start with the install of GWX 2.1 and assorted mods that i wanted to try with it. There may be some conflicts i used JGSME....

I am running AMD 3300 2.4 Ghz 3 GB RAM, FX 7600 GT Audigy 2ZS

Running XP SP2, should i be using Win 98 Compatability? Lower screen resolution?

I tried turning off my anti virus in case that will help and shutting down other programs....

I have GWX and OLC2 loaded and a number of skins and ships and other mods.. i tried bypassing the video and got the GWX 2.1 load screen but then the game crashes to desktop. I may have to start over and try an vanilla install.

I tried doing a vanilla install with no mods and it still stutters. But the game runs, vanilla, so i think i have a long job of re installing the mods :) slowly and carefully.

any suggestions? thanks i posted my mod list below and the ini from JGSME

Hmm that is honestly the first I have ever heard of that.

As for compatibility the sim is desighned for WinXP.

I doubt its your graphics card since I started playing this on a GeForce 2 with 64 megs of memory. When was the last time you updated your graphics card drivers?

Is the card AGP? My guess would be that it is a drivers issue with either your graphics or sound card.

ok
dont know yet. I did a re install after moving the modded install to backup status and i was able to start the game, acccess museum and start the training ....

so the game runs. The movie just stutters :) i have the latest drivers as far as i know i will check agian, and the opening movie is not essential. But the game modded did not run, but i suspect that was my poor skill at installing the mods I will try again and add GFX2.1 and re install all the mods i had found. :) thanks for the word on the stutters. Just wondered if it might have happened to anyone else.

funny question..is it possible to zoom in during the Museum? i just like to get a closer look at the models....but could not find a zoom ...yet.

total shellback here. so lots to learn. And why is the swastika missing from the fore and aft decks of the Bismark? Is there a mod to replace them?

The only mod I would recomend is GWX 3. It puts all the historical realism into the sim.

Make sure your sim is patched to 1.4b and Put GWX on top of it. It has a self installer and fixes many issues as well as adding a ton of stuff.

The only downside is that it takes a while to load. 5 miniutes on my machine and they recomend you have a gig of ram but I ran it with 756
for a bit.
