SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Regular stuttering issues with U Boat missions add on

My system is primarily business oriented but has the odd sim on it, somewhat less horsepower under the hood but runs with the add on just fine.

AMD 3200+
1 gb ddr2 dual channel
asus m2npv-vm using onboard sound, but o/b graphics disabled
2x hd, swap file on the slave, software installed on primary master
gforce 8500gt with 1 gb on the card

On initial install, had constant stutter in external view , approx every 15 seconds or so. Here is the settings that I have found very successful for me, and it does not look too bad either.

sound:
3d channels off
realistic sound travel time on

graphics:
1280 x 960 75 hz. trying to run these settings 1280 x 1024 brings the stutter back.
3d damage full up
character detail full up
particle density full up
terrain object density default -1
terrain object lod size default -2
3d ship wakes selected
ship normal maps selected
vertical sync selected

in the gforce control panel, set to run from global settings:
anisotropic and antialaising settings set to application controlled
texture filter to triliniear however
triple buffers off

this cured it for me, runs sweet and looks pretty good. if these run for me they should run fine for you.

one thing, i have a freeware little defrag utility I am fond of, defraggler (google for it if you want to try it). it can defrag a single file or a single folder as well as a complete drive and I run that once in a while on the ubisoft folder.

the only time i have momentary stutter issue now is coming into a harbour and I can live with that.

cheers.
