Thought it best to start a new thread about this rather than mixing it into the other one.

Might want to give it a try by disabling it and then retry.

I use Avast and it has never caused any problems before, but I'll give it a try and see.
 
Quote from: Tutonic;323119If it's a sound problem, you can try running ” \snd_restart“ in the console.

I don't actually have a problem with the sounds, they all sound OK. But when I did a bit of Googling some people suggested that if you disabled all your sound devices it cured the problem. I have yet to try this but it does seem a bit extreme.
I've got a Creative SB Audigy2 (I think) and I'll try a driver update and see if that helps.
My on-board sound went ptouie a while back and maybe I've got some unwanted devices lurking in device manager. I'll check that too.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

Well the snd_restart didn't help, even when I typed it in with a / first. :sad:

If you're not using it, have you disabled your on-board sound in BIOS?

Yes on-baord has been disabled in BIOS and it does not show as a disabled device in sound manager.
 
Might have to try dropping my graphics quality, but I would have thought that a pair of HD4870s should be perfectly capable for this game.

My old system handled the game "OK"** with a single 4870 at 1680x1050, so I'd imagine 2 would cope fine with most resolutions as long as they're not silly.

With creative cards in the past I've had problems with stuttering in games even though the sound was running ok. This was 4-5 years ago I guess but the solution was to completely remove all drivers and let windows sort it out. Installing any sort of driver from creative caused headaches.

Also if you've got another free PCI slot it might be worth moving the card to it if the driver thing doesn't work, some slots work better than others.

** Not stunning FPS but playable for the vast majority of the time.

I seem to have solved it and not had a really bad freeze or stutter for a while.
 
It seems that it was set to only use one CPU so the other three were idle.
I've change the config options for that and also the max-packets.
