I think you have different problems than me or at least additional ones. Because I had only this lag issue in Source games and in Overlord. Every other game I tested runs smooth in Win7 and like I mention earlier, when I reboot into WinXP all games runs smooth. In fact I never experienced such an issue until now in Win7.
I tested C&C3, Red Alert 3, Civilization IV, Mass Effect, NWN2, Dragon Age, Call of Duty MW2, Oblivion, Dawn of War 2, Total War Medieval II + Empire, Splinter Cell, Mirror's Edge, Prey, Sims 3.
All this games runs smooth. Only all source games and Overlord had this strange lag and/or pauses.
Anyway, thanks to this reg fix, it is gone.
Thanks again to hipzilla for point this thread out too us.
Yea i dont have that many pc games mostly steam / valve issued games...
as far as cod mw2 goes it runs smooth it just happens to be that 1 level which is weird every other level runs like a dream, but as far as MW2 i think im trying to fix a problem they need to fix, so im going to leave that alone. I just found it weird how i didnt lag on that level with absolutely no sound enabled. What i did now was that guy said in that thread, and uninstalled my on board sound card.
css seems to be ok but ever since i messed with my options i did something to the sound (not that big of a deal) and as of tf2 it seems to be a lot smoother even when the frame rate drops to about the high 40's thats also something they need to fix.
i think i done the best i can do i really dont know what else to do.. whats left is the hard drive that someone suggested in this thread.
Ok, this might sound stupid but lets give it a go.
If the problem is in the HD, lets try to run it directly from the RAM.
First, download RAMDisk, install it. Follow all those steps, if you have any problem installing it just PM me.
Then, setup the size of the RAM Partition and pick a game that stutters which is not really big, so you don't have to use so many RAM.
Copy the game directory in the RAMDisk partition and run it.
If it stutters, then the problem is not in the HD and we rule it out.
Well maybe you won't have to do anything crazy after all, but next time you get a new hdd remember how to partition it. =P
ill try that when i get home, but i never added a dxdiag for you guys. I mean everything seems to be going ok now just if you guys want to double check it.
So you're able to play TF2/etc. online stutter free with your onboard sound enabled? I've got my onboard sound disabled via the BIOS (has been this way since I built this system), didn't even bother to try gaming with it instead of my XFi.
Creative and their drivers have been really disappointing for a while now (there was definitely trouble with Vista as well), I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix from them.
