Does anyone else have any ideas on how to fix stuttering animations. My game runs smooth as silk except for the following animations which appear to "hang" and stutter.

Bow wave
deck water
bubbles coming from sub
All Explosions.

FPS is good and consistent but when I look at any of the above graphics they stutter while the rest of the game runs smooth. Explosions are exceptionally bad.

I can fix the problem by alt-tabbing out adn running the game in realtime priority but I've heard that can be bad for your system and cause CTDs

I saw an old post by SteelViking where he talked about decompressing the dds files for these textures which woudl fix the problem. Unfortunately, he did not leave directions on how to do this.

ANyone know?
