This is true. I was somewhat unsure about it being a sticky because of the risk from tampering with advanced settings. However, it IS a temporary solution and better than none. I try to change the virtual memory only temporarily while I play any CoH mod that suffers from the stuttering.

So, as you said blackbishop, all who experience said stuttering issues: I would use this solution AT YOUR OWN RISK. Do NOT expect this "fix" to be a permanent solution to the issue as it is only a temporary fix to reduce the amount of frame skipping and provide you with an enjoyable Eastern Front experience.

Thank you all- I'm glad we could discuss this issue in depth.

NOTE: If any user experiences crashes and/or no decrease in stuttering, you should immediately revert your virtual memory settings discussed in this thread back to their original values (or by default, let Windows manage page file sizes by selecting "System managed size")

If you feel this solution should be a sticky or added to the FAQ then by all means; do what you will. This is your forum, your mod, your rules. I have no place to suggest to you what you should sticky. I just hope I've helped.

Thanks!

Nice maps, by the way.

My apologies, MaxiKing6.

I only wanted to address the issue wherever possible as I know it is quite frustrating and that is the only viable solution I've found.

As many threads were started on the same subject, I figured many posts (one for each thread) would be necessary. I have also noticed that some threads on this matter were started by users who created accounts for the sole purpose of starting a thread for said issue.

I hope I have committed to the benefit of all.

Try this:


-- Right click on "My Computer"

-- Click "Properties"

-- Click "Advanced System Settings"

-- A new window should pop up

-- Under the tab "Advanced" click "Settings" under the Perfomance box

-- Another window should pop up saying "Performance Options"

-- Click "Change" under the "Advanced" tab

-- After clicking "Change" another window should pop up titled "Virtual Memory"; on this page something should be a list offering which drive you should select (if you only have one hard drive then you will be fine; it will already be selected by default)

-- Uncheck the "Automatically manage paging file size for drivers"; then select "Custom Size"

-- Finally there should be two boxes under your checked box: "Initial size (MB)" and "Maximum size (MB)"; change both of these values to "3092"(MB)...click "Set" and then click "OK"; then reboot the computer and you're all set.
 



This particular issue consists of stuttering frame rates about 15-20 minutes into your game. The screen jumps around or freezes for half a second every other second. It almost makes the game unplayable.

The reason you may be having "stutters" or "shutters" like this is because the CoH engine cannot support more than 3.33 GB; this is why changing the virtual memory available sets the game right (or at least it has for me!).


I hope this helps!
Let me know how it goes.

A lot of people have been running into this issue, including me. A lot of people turn down this issue claiming our gaming rigs aren't souped up enough for CoH; this is not correct, as we both well know our computers surpass the recommended hardware requirements for this game. 

This method worked for me and I hope it works for any others running into this issue as it is quite frustrating (I know!).
I stumbled across it when browsing another forum associated with a mod for CoH.

Try this:


-- Right click on "My Computer"

-- Click "Properties"

-- Click "Advanced System Settings"

-- A new window should pop up

-- Under the tab "Advanced" click "Settings" under the Perfomance box

-- Another window should pop up saying "Performance Options"

-- Click "Change" under the "Advanced" tab

-- After clicking "Change" another window should pop up titled "Virtual Memory"; on this page something should be a list offering which drive you should select (if you only have one hard drive then you will be fine; it will already be selected by default)

-- Uncheck the "Automatically manage paging file size for drivers"; then select "Custom Size"
