I tried the latest version of Glidos 1.29 (demo) with Descent 2.
It works fine, the fps are fine unless I press a key or move the mouse > every input causes following problem:
If I press a key (and keep pressing it) I get a 1 sec pause (the game stutters) and then the game returns to behaving normal.This happens every time if I press and hold a key (or move the mouse around). My PC is fast enough to handle Glidos and Descent 2. I've tried Glidos before and had no problems.
Just recently I formated and reinstalled everything (WinXP etc.) and then this problem occured. Could new ATI drivers cause such a problem?
My system:
AMD Athlon XP 2600
512MB RAM
nforce2 motherboard
ATI Radeon 9700 with 128MB RAM
more than enough HD space free (~40GB)
VDM Sound installed (2.10 beta)
Windows XP pro SP2
Things I tried to get rid of this odd behaviour:
disabling Antialiasing and AF
reducing the resolution
unloading/disabling unnecessary background services
disabling joystick
disabling sound
uninstalling vdm
added: after testing I found out it is only releated to movement. If I move around this problem occurs. If I sit still, even if there is happening a lot in front of me no stuttering appears. This is realy strange. Before formating and reinstalling I had no problems with Glidos (although I didn't installed the latest drivers)
The problem doesn't occur on my second system which has almost the same configuration. The only thing different is that it has a Geforce 3 graphic card installed.
