Stuttering ruining immersion

[blake123]

I believe the problem lies with Steam itself. The game is 3GB, yet Steam has installed 2GB for me. I feel as though there is alot that is missing that makes it stutter for some reason.


I had an old Athlon II x3 450 cpu, and it could run it flawlessly. I pirated it and it ran flawlessly, but after buying it through Steam after the Winter Sales it was running horribly. I honestly don't know what it is but I know it's Steam because my hardware is MUCH newer and I didn't have a problem when I didn't have DRM installing it for me.
