Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[jens]

You have to either start a new game with the new main_settings. Or you have to play the game with your old profile but main settings modified in My Documents AND to complete the current level (with stutter) and have the next level load before the stutter will go away. The problem fixed is related to saved games, where cache sounds would be "uncached" when loading a save. The new exe fixes this issue, but for it to work you can not load a saved game and get the improvement.

Guys I'm really at a loss to what is going on here:

From the beginning, my first install and run of the game it plays fine, there is no stutter at all. If I wait the next day and continue the game, it stutters every second when walking, and every half second when running. I have uninstalled and re installed the game several times and continue to experience it. So I wouldn't be able to play this game unless I plan on doing so in a single playthrough. This is the only game I experience this with.

I've installed patch 4 with MaxChannels="48" StreamBuffers="6" StreamBufferSize="32768

my specs are:

i7
12gb ram
win 7
realtek onboard audio (uninstalled realtek so using default audio)
