tkasprzak Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 Okay, I just got BCM GOLD today and threw it on the ol' system. However, the game "stutters" ever so many seconds. It's not my video settings as this happens while the nifty 3000AD Logo goes across the screen too. It pretty much makes the game unplayable, which is a shame! Has anyone ever encountered this, and what is the work around? Thanks much in advance!!!

Like those taskbar programs.
Commander Elio Jason Posted November 15, 2003 Report Posted November 15, 2003 have you patched your game yet?
tkasprzak Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Posted November 18, 2003 Yeah--it's patched to current...and I even tried the beta patch with the same result. Practicially nothing in my taskbar either. Not only that, but I'm quite dilligent about removing things from my "run" line in the registry. Thank you for your help though, I'll keep pluggin away at it.
Supreme Cmdr Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Have you tried lowering the acceleration for your video and sound cards, as indicated in the FAQ? Also, have you tried running the DirectX diagnostics programs via DxDiag?
Guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 This may seem like a strange question, but do you have a canon printer? If it is offline, the programs for it will continue to look for it every 2 seconds or so, and it will not only screw up your sound, it will mess with your video as well. I had that problem with my Printer, even though I had removed the program and the printer from my computer, had to reload it, and rehook up the printer in order for it to stop.
rjy01 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Check your Primary IDE setting and make sure it's set to DMA. Mine was set to PIO and causing similar stuttering problems.
