Default Micro-Stutters

I just have a thought looking over some old threads I've posted regarding IL2CoD settings & performance back when we were struggling with making the beast take-off a few months ago, after the russian and then european release.

I keep hearing people complaining about microstutters, some of them with systems similar, or close enough with mine, and I didn't understood why, as I am not experiencing them at all, and that while running everything maxed out.

Have a look at this IL2 BoB - settings (it was for IL2 BoB which is the russian version of CoD) thread, please.

Have you guys disabled your Windows 7 paging file? Because Windows is known for using the swap file even if it has tons of memory free, and this might lead to the microstutters you all are complaining about..

PS: be warned though, you need at least 8 GB of memory to can do this in Windows 7 and play IL2CoD at the same time.

PPS: please note that also using IL2CoD max settings is needed in order to get rid of them (most importantly the unlimited buildings setting).

I've added a link about how can you modify it for your Windows 7.

I tried this just now and here were my findings.

I disabled the windows paging file and then rebooted.

reboot went fine and all seemed normal.

I started the game (with UBI splash screen disabled)

the game started normally and i entered the London sight seeing tour ( Graphic settings on maximum with 1776x1000 res)

after load screen things seemed normal but then when i started flying around a bit i started noticing big flashes and graphic instability as things were rendering in the distance. The micro stutters were still there and it seemed to me that they even became a bit worse, but it was tough to tell with all the other flashing and craziness going on in the distance.

I then intentionally crashed into the bridge and upon hitting escape the game exited to windows and then would not let me get back into the game and then locked up when i tried to end the program from the task manager.

I then set it the paging file back to the way it was and rebooted again.

restated the game and things were back to there normal micro stutter selves with good fps (same settings as above).

Thanks for the tip but for me this didn't seem to help

thanks again
cheers

Okay I admit I may have been a bit too defensive at times... but to be in a list with Carguy and David Hayward

i wouldn't take it too personally he may have read something you posted that disagreed with him personally and rage added you to the list its just his opinion. Its our own opinion of our self's that really matters at the end of the day.....................uh unless your a serial killer or something......... then i guess it doesn't matter if you think your a charming fellow or not lol well you get what i mean
