Game stutters alot! Entrenchment 1.02

from Sins Forums

Hi, I've found that Sins in stuttering alot in SP games, this happens when I zoom into any object that has an animation.  This problem has always been present but not as bad as this.

If I focus on a ship for example the screen stutters as it moves with the ship - the same if I focus on a planet, anything I zoom into close.  The odd thing is that the game starts with this problem and the size the game and fleet makes no difference.  I've tried turning all detail to minimum with no effect, same for maximum.

Any ideas?

you try playing with refresh rate?

umm - no I've not tried that - by defult my monitor is set to 60 Hertz, and its the only option I can select. 

As far as you know is this an issue with this game?  All my previous computer monitors has been set to 60 Hertz, and I've had the same stuttering with it - from XP to Vista 32 and 64 bit, but it seems to be getting worse!

Another good example of this is the main loading screen - is this smooth for you?  When you select different options such as multiplayer e.c.t the camara pans to another part of the screen like an asteroid or planet - for me, the camara jerks and stutters like crazy to the next part - the main game is the same.

I'll tinker with the refresh rate - I'll post here if I get a solution!

Thanks Orodum.
