Halo 2 vista stuttering problem

[teardrop]

So I got Halo 2 vista about a month ago and I have a problem witht the game in which it kind of "stutters". For lack of a better word it tends to hiccup very often.

From what I ve been reading on the internet its the Nvidia drivers that are causing this problem and that I should force V-sync on in the Nvidia control panel but that still wont work. It would be great if someone could help me with this problem. Thank you in advance.

PC specs:

29994 Mb RAM
Nvidia Ge force 8400 GS 512 mb
Windows vista home premium

what... thats like 30 gigs. you have 30 gigs of ram?

Unless that's a typo, there is no way you can have 30 gigs of RAM.

Only 16 Gig's are available at once, so far.

8400 GS, that might be the problem, I have no idea if that is able to support it.

Trying running at the lowest settings first, unless it's absolutely shit at the lowest =/ then see how well it runs as you increase quality.

Not sure about your card. But it does the same thing for mine. The nvidia drivers have a bug in them that H2 Vista doesn't like. So it tends to jump. The only way to get rid of it is to go back to an older driver.

^ What Bob said. For some reason I have never been able to comprehend, any driver beyond nVidia's 177.41 (as far as I know. If anyone has got any driver beyond this to make it run smoothly, please let me know) has caused the game to stutter. So it's a choice on your part I'm afraid; keep to an older driver and sacrifice performance in a few other games, or just upgrade and don't play H2V that often.

get an xbox and a copy of halo 2 for that, throw away h2v ;)
There are to many problems with it, you'd be better of playing it on the xbox.

It clearly says he is using:



Windows vista home premium

So I dunno. I was only referring to his system.

I seem to remember windows 64bit supports upto 128gb's of ram and i have seen motherboards supporting 24GB's.
Though where you would get ram sticks in excess of 6gb's per module is beyond me.

Ok this is tripple channel but it's 12Gb alright... Of course Alienware has PC's that can handle these...
