Is anyone else having major stuttering problems on the PC version?
I had a problem with this a month or so back, and then after a couple of
frustrating days it went away of its own accord. Now it's come back and it's
making the game completely unplayable.
The game runs perfectly unless I have a key pressed down on the keyboard.
This means that all the time I'm driving or walking around the game keep
stuttering. The display is more jerky than it should be, but the real
annoyance is in the sound, which keeps cutting out. When driving, for
example, the radio keeps stuttering and actually slows down as a result.
As soon as I let go of the keys, the game runs perfectly well again.
I also tried briefly playing with a joypad. Played like this, the game runs
perfectly without any problems at all. However I really don't like playing
games with the joypad so this isn't an acceptable solution for me.
Anyone else had this? Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it?
