Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[admiraltennek]

Ok, I solved the problem for me by using a veeeeery dirty hack. It's probably not the final solution, but maybe it helps to get to the root of this.

What I did, was writing a VBScript that crawls through all 1888 *.snt files in "<AMFPbasedir>/sounds" (including subfolders) and replaces the string Stream="False" with Stream="True". I also had to go to the main_settings.cfg and set MaxChannels="32", StreamBuffers="4" and StreamBufferSize="65536".

Now there are no more reproducable freezes when a new sound is being played. Anyway, the framerate is still low every now and then, but it's a lot better. You don't get warned anymore when something scary is about to happen.

I would attach the VBScript for those who want to test it themselfes, but I'd like to hear an official "OK" first, since the fix involves messing around bigtime with game-data. Don't want any trouble!

Please share your script with the rest of us. I have no issues with playing the guinea pig any more at this point if it could possibly result in a fix for this hideous stuttering.
