CMR2 Stutter problem.

I am getting an irritating stutter after driving for 1-2 min ? It is not low frame rate, Fraps says 40-50. Its more like a short interruption every 0.5-1.0 sec. Tried low everything, makes no differense. Athlon 850 192 MB Geforce2 MX Logitech WFF I have installed all the latest drivers, AGP etc. Tried severel different graphics drivers, and both DirectX 7.0a and 8.0. Anyone else seeing this problem, or got a suggestion for a solution ?? Joergen

I have the same pbm with my voodoo3, it stutter every 5-6 sec or so. Lowering the resol from 1024 to 800x600 helped a lot, no I have some stutter but once evrey 1 min or 2 so it is livable =) btw, this games rox ! -- Il fait bo!

Your not alone. I have read ALOT of people experienceing the same thing, including me. According to Codemasters, they are aware of the problem an will "hopefully resolve it in a future patch".... /Thomas "Michael Pujos" <[email hidden]> skrev i meddelandet news:[email hidden]...

Have any of you tried turning down sound acceleration? Hit the Multimedia icon in control panel, the select advanced on the playback device, under performance turn down acceleration to low. Andi. CMR2 still needs a patch though as this is a bit of a bodge. Thomas Heineman <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Bz106.676$[email hidden]...

Makes no difference to the stuttering problem here, just makes the sound strange, sort of staccato ;-) Joergen

Very strange, I got the stutter to go away by selecting more details !? Added more details until Fraps reports about 30 frames, then the stutter is gone ? Low resolution and low details gives me more frames but more stutter also.... Joergen

Draw distance fixed most of mine. Anyone know how to turn on the frame rate counter? Thanks, haywood On Wed, 20 Dec 2000 02:33:56 +0100, "J Skantse" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I have a V3 and DX8 and reverted to the 105 drivers to try the CMR2 demo. I experienced the stuttering in CMR2 and in other games, as well. Going back to the 107 drivers fixed it for me (but can't play CMR2 demo). At least in my case they are related. Im running C2/566@876, 384M, WinME, by the way. ~daxe On Wed, 27 Dec 2000 05:20:27 GMT, [email hidden] (Haywood) wrote:
