Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[Woopzilla]

Yes, I can confirm that I've also managed to get stutter-free game.

I get a stutter-free game if I:

• Use the patched aamfp.exe inside aamfp_stutter3.zip.
• Use the patched SDL2.dll inside aamfp_stutter3.zip.
• Use default main_settings.cfg but only change StreamBufferSize to 131072 (so MaxChannels is still at default 64 and StreamBuffers is at default 8.

All other files are untouched/original.

I did not need install the new config/maps/sounds folder inside aamfp_stutter3.zip to achieve this. I can still get a very smooth game with these files installed but the piano part will still have a small noticeable framedrop. However, it is much better than the original game.

I've also made some videos to show the differences:
Youtube seems to have changed their design again... the expand window button is now 'hidden' in the options menu: http://i.imgur.com/WXLyyhS.jpg Make sure to increase size quality/size to see the stutters better.

100% Original game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC7Fp-ofbXo
3 big stutters + some small ones

Fully patched game (everything in aamfp_stutter3.zip applied - all files and folders): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uk80eCN_so
Only 1 very small stutter

As decsribed above (only patched aamfp.exe + SDL2.dll - not the folders - and StreamBufferSize="131072", MaxChannels="64", StreamBuffers="8"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFOBvCl6a6o
No stutter at all

Another video with same settings as above to test max settings (ingame resolution 1920x1200 + all settings to max: 16xAF, SSAO High - 32 Samples, Shadow Quality + Resolution High, etc..): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3GFD_A1wx4
No stutter at all

I used the 'Detect' settings -> Normal Quality. V-Sync On, Adaptive V-Sync On. I always make a new profile and start a new game for each test. If you load old profile saves then it will have stutter it seems. You can save and load as much as you want though once you have a new profile.
