Ok ive tryed everything I can think of but no matter what I do my game stutters only when its telling the story like when you start and after a chapter the story line of the game movies stutter im going to post a similar post on the bioware forum if anyone can help me it would be appreated.

I have a p3 800 with 256 megs of sd ram pc 133 and a cheap sound card which i think is my prob my sound card is a awe 64 16 bit audio and my video card is a prophet 3d 64 meg radion 8500 le

I have fiddled with the performance downing some of the more strenous options stoped all background programs while playing and got the latest sound drivers for my sound and video card but its all to no avail i know its not the cd's there in perfect condition lol the play cd barely ever leaves my cd rom lol and its a 52x max compact disc I almost for got that thanks in advance if you help or even take the time to read this post happy gamming everyone.

If you think it's the sound card, try disabling it completely and then playing to see if it cures it.

still didn't help its wierd cause its like its got the hickups lol a bit amusing at first but frusterating the wierd thing is doesn't do it in the video at the first of the game the one of the warrior fighting the minator plays perfect but the story video studders :( ?

Oops almost for got to thank you for trying to help thanx for you time hope your game runs great and your characters never die *winks* lol

No problem, I've had my own herky jerky/stutter problems and would love to help anyone I can. ;)

I never had any problems with the chapter movies, but you could try what solved my "in game" stutter. I disconnected my printer. Sounds simple, but it has solved the problem for several people. Unfortunately, I don't know that it will help with your problem.

There are as many different forms of stutter as there are grains of sand on a beach...lol. An exaggeration, of course, but the variety is amazing.

Bioware's forums have lots more tech type info regarding these issues. I think you'll find someone there with a similar problem. I hope you'll find the answer, but make sure you try the easy stuff first!

Oh yeah, you accidentally double posted, can you delete the second version. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well I had this same problem myself - the opening story stuttered but everything else was fine. This phenomenon vanished as soon as I upgraded my graphics card from a TNT 2 Ultra to an ATI Raedon 8500. Nothing else was changed. 'Tis strange because if the root of the problem is the video card, then your story should be working just fine...

I would try searching for a fix or work-around on the NWN Tech Support forum:

Got the problem solved fiddled with open gl and got it to stop stuttering on the story line thanx to everyone that tryed to help me out and happy gaming everyone.
