I have that same old problem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G375cUecgQ) that is called micro stuttering or frame skipping.

Temporally solution (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x50dW5Zr7kU&NR=1) for fallout 3 was to set up a frame cap in the game engine
through config.ini but DoW has not this option so far.
*Frame cap has nothing to do with refresh cap ( Vsync)
In windows mode and antialiasing help a bit through Local.ini but still stutter.

That make me remember something with Deus ex. This game was great but had an issues. They always told me to upgrade drivers, ect. Then to wait for the next patch. They never resolved it. Until I tweaked the deusex.ini and disable UseVideoMemoryVB. After that tweak was working perfectly without any stuttering. Ultra smooth. ( So it was a bad memory management)

So anyway, Does someone ever found the true solution for this game? Don't worry about my spec. My computer is perfect. Thank you. I can play Fallout 3 almost perfectly with the little tweak.

**Update. I found a way to get into the console by adding -dev on the shortcut and control shift ~ on the game. So anyone know a command to limit fps?

I am also experiencing the same issue. Has there been any resolution?

Davepro, I have found a solution that seems to greatly reduce the stuttering:

Go to your game directory, find the Local.ini file and edit the entry "screennovsync" and give it a value of "1". That reduced the stuttering a lot from me, let me know if it helps you too.

Oh, I wanted to add that the stuttering is definitely not because of my system. I have a system that far surpasses the requirements of the game. I don't know what causes that frame skipping (or micro stuttering) problem. All I know is that it usually occurs in games running DirectX 10 and I am pretty sure Dark Crusade runs in DX9.

I've attached my DxDiag w/ my PC stats just to show you all what I'm running on. It definitely should run the game without a sweat.

Thanks for the solution, Delta.
If someone could just confirm the fix works that would be great.

I can't play that game vsync off because I get like 300 FPS and my power supply make a little noise. All I can do is to force vsync off on the local.ini and force vsync on on my video driver.

Anyway, I remember trying all those 4 possibilities without success.

*Vsync is power safer and no tearing. I only disable it on new games like World in Conflict because I get less than 60 FPS all max.

**Delta, you have a nice rig but I notice you have Hyper threading enabled. DoW is not HT compatible, try to turn it off on the BIOS and see if you get better stability. HT is not good for games. I have AMD by the way.

Davepro, you mentioned that little noise. I get that noise too when playing. Is that the PSU? Why is that noise present? Is it safe to run the program w/ that noise coming from the PC? I don't want to damage my hardware.

The fix i mentioned definitely eliminated the stuttering almost completely, but that noise you mentioned happens for me too after making the changes in the Local.ini file by setting the vsync option to 1

I think that noise is coming from my sound card, not my PSU. Gonna do some research on it and find out what causes that.

DeltaOmega553, I have onboard sound ( realtek )

It is my power supply making the little noise when I force vsync off.

It happened when I get like 200 FPS and more on a game.
The power supply work very hard in those condition.

Vsync is Energy Saver and keep the power supply longer life . . . . . And no tearing.

I force vsync off only when I get less than 60 FPS on a game.

To resume, when I force vsync on the little noise is gone.
or when I play a game like cysis and only get 30 FPS even vsync off does not make noise except on movies clip
but I just skip them and watch them later with forced vsync on.

I don't recommend playing a game when power supply make a little noise. You are shorting his life and cost more for your electricity bill.

So anyway, I gave up on this game. I have DoW2. Too bad because DoW 1 was better without that problem. Could had been even better than Starcraft but unfortunately they failed with me. So am still waiting for Starcraft 2.

I have never run into a problem like this where turning Vsync off would cause some sort of overload for the PSU. That is bizarre.
