Stutter Problem

[ejvogel88]

Hello,

When I play Crysis 2 it runs like a dream. That is until a few minutes in the game begins to stutter somewhat. Not the FPS per se, but rather when I look around with the mouse, it jumps from point to point.

I have:
Core i5 650 OC'd to 3.84 Ghz
Sapphire HD 5970 (I dont let the temps get over 65-70)
8 Gigs RAM @ 1600 Mhz
Microsoft Mobile Mouse 3500.

I know it isnt overheating, I hope its not bottlenecking, I'm just worried that maybe my mouse (USB plug in Blutooth) may be the probelm.

Also, it seems to occur more in wide open areas, like when I can see a lot of the map ahead of me. (Not all the time though) I had this issue once with this same rig playing Counter Strike: Source, when I could see a huge area of the map (gigantic map that was like a texture city)

Any ideas?

Stuttering is quite common with crysis games.Crysis 1 used to stutter in almost all pc.crysis2 is much more optimized but still it sometimes stutter.And your dual gpu card is not helping either.

Although this may not be the solution to your problem, I would recommend that you update your video card drivers. I have encountered HUGE numbers of problems with games that have been solved by simply updating the video card drivers...

the game needs patching, what your getting is the same problem others are getting with there Xfire setups.

Open Crysis 2 root file, open backup folder copy Crysis2.exe.bak and rename as Crysis2.exe. Open Bin32 folder (if you are using 64bit OS) and Replace Crysis2.exe file with the one you have just renamed from the backup folder. Seems it works perfectly - running at 90fps no flickering!! Hope it helps you all"


Old fix
1. Make sure you have the latest ATI catalyst application profiles installed
2. Rename crysis2.exe to bioshock.exe (or run under radeon pro with with bioshock profile selected and run in fullscreen)
3. Play!

i dont know if this is a 100% fix/workaround as i dont have Xfire yet. but the feedback on other forums has been positive.

you can also use the ATI Catalyst Application profiler the 1 linked is for win 7 64bit, but there is a 32bit 1 available 2 if you have that o.s. it also has stutter fix for crysis. for xfire setups. i dunno if it will work for your card though. but worth a punt.
