Machine Gun stutters when animated?

[dearmad]

Anyone else have this consistently?

Most of the time whenever my machinegunenrs defend, the games sort of freezes up or stutters and the animations are never smooth. Does anyone else have this happen almost all the time with MGs?

No other unti causes this in my game.

Running 2gb memory, amd 3200+, radeon 9800pro and also a nvidia 7800gs.

I think it's the game's fault not my hardware's.

FYI for those who care... seems like CIV4 eats up memmory as it plays... so by the time I had MG's the computer was just getting fussy.

A reload after about every hour of play took care of this. I wish the code for CIV was cleaner... or more efficient, it reminds me of a legless man running a race- he might finish but it isn't pretty.

I seem to also have this problem with the early fighter planes when they make a run.

Have you tried setting the graphics at a lower level? I think, from memory, that it is under the options menu.

I think that should not be an issue with 2 gb ram, an nvidia 7800 gs (or even the old ati 9800pro I had), and an amd 3200+.

My settings are only 1024x768 anyway. Also, it is *only* with the MG not other units. Capiche?

My gripe with MG is the animation. It looks stupid, when they, for every enemy attack, sit down and set up the... Vickers, I think. They should stand their ground!

Yeah... there's that too. Surprised no one's modded that out.
