Narrowed down stuttering problem, need some help

[FrankTheSpank]

I figured out that when LockOn stutters and freezes it happens only when I am at low speeds over terrain. Such as when I am landing. The game will stutter, pause, freeze etc. when I am at idle above the ground and will do so for as long as I maintain that low speed, as soon as I kick in the afterburner, the game plays normally.

I have turned down some of the graphics and it made no difference. Any ideas? I had seen a post but cant find it where some people were disabling the sound from the ground objects in their config file, will that help and how do I do it?

THANK YOU for any help. It's killing me having this stuttering problem with the game. It is unplayable and I REALLY want to play Lock On :(

BTW my system is:

XP Pro with all the background apps disabled in MSCONFIG

AMD 64 1.8Ghz 3000+

1GB of RAM

nVidia 6600

Lock On: MAC 1.02

running lockon version 1.12a

 

with this version off lockon theres fixes for fps stutters .....

 

your system turn everything to low graphics .....

 

i would also upgrade your game to 1.12a

An extra 1gb of RAM will do wonders for you.....and yes, upgrading to 1.1-1.12a FC will be beneficial also :)

Maybe it's cheap onboard soundcard that is causing problems? Did you try disabling it in BIOS?

I have none of these horrible stutters you describe.

 

Abitn AN7, Athlon 2500+ Barton (@3200+ 200MHz*11),

Also I remember 1.02 had issues with lots of system.

I'm running 1.12a it is so far the most stable version ever.
