Stuttering update?

[stavroshamster]

Hey everyone,

I was following the massive thread on here about the stuttering problems with HL2, but have been busy in the last few weeks and so havent kept my eye on it recently. I cant seem to find it now at all.

Can someone update me on any progress that has been made with the problem since valve brought out that first patch which changed the mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware thing?

Cheers

Nothing much, other than someone at Valve saying only 200 people(!) had complained of stuttering. Best source of news of the stutter is here:

There have been loads of temp fixes that mostly do not work.
However, setting HL2 as low priority via your task manager works perfectly for me and quite a few other people.

Good call with that link, doomed. To be honest I can't see a solution this year, to admit there is a major problem with stuttering would mean Valve lose a lot of sales in the pre-xmas rush.

Small number of people, my ass.
