Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[jens]

As I am trying to say, it is not that there is not a problem for you, but it is not a problem with solely the game, as there are too many people playing the game with similar configurations to your configurations that does not have the problem. We are talking about computers, there are bound to be specific conflicts and issues due to the endless combinations of hardware and software. So there is no magic patch to make for the game that fixes it.

So to solve this we have to find the cause and find workarounds.

For starters, those that say they had this in TDD as well. Then something with our game is the way it is and makes it sensitive to something with your configuration. This sensitivity is then further noticeable in AMFP, as the game is much more demanding than TDD.

Likely causes could be programs running in the background, this could be browsers but could also be hidden things like for example the process Voddler keeps on your computer, or all the process that various antivirus have running. So a first step would be to shutdown everything else but the game and see if that helps.

Could be Steam overlay, community, Windows Aero themes.

It could also be a conflict between settings for the graphics card and the game options, trying different combinations can find the cause. For example in the past AI catalyst has been known to cause more troubles than improvements with our games.

Could be driver issues, not only for graphic cards, but also sound cards, drives and what not.

If nothing helps, then I can only advice to ask for a refund as you are not happy with the product as it is not working as it should for you. We are not happy that the game is not working well for you and sorry it has wasted your time, but we can not fix everything and guarantee a 100% perfect experience for all.
