Hi,
I have a problem with sudden shuttering. I'll try to explain. I run IL-2 on my laptop, which is Dell XPS m1530. It has 2,2 GHz dual core CPU, 4 GB of RAM and GeForce 8600m GT with 256 MB VRAM, running Windows 7 64 bit. I think that it should be good enough to run IL-2 good. Well I can run the game on highest settings (without water and some things in conf.ini) with perfect FPS. I run it in OpenGL mode. The problem is that after like 5 to 10 minutes, the game starts to shutter really bad. It lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds and it is like 3 FPS which is unplayable. I am not sure what causes the problem, but I tried some things including lowering my game settings and tweaking the conf.ini with no success. I guess that a lack of VRAM causes this. I have a fancy widget
on on my desktop showing how much of VRAM is used and when I'm not playing there is about 50 MB used, but when I run the game the VRAM is completely full. Next thing I'm not sure about is so called Turbo Cache. It should allow graphic card to cut a part of system RAM and use it, when it runs out of VRAM. I'm not sure if it really works, as I couldn't find a way, how could I observe it. However in Windows it says that Total Available Graphic Memory is 2000 MB so I suppose it should work. Then if it really works, I'm not sure if it is good or bad for IL-2.
