Hi, Tommy


The most common way that IL-2 will stutter is when RAM becomes full.

For my 2007 laptop with 2.0 Gz CPU, 3 GB RAM, and 7000 series NVIDIA, it won't take too much to fill the RAM. Performance is okay when RAM is not full.

Some mods in IL-2 simply fill lots of RAM, such as large maps. When RAM is full, we know that page file size is used, but IL-2 doesn't like page file data so we get stuttering when that happens.

Tommy, I designed this topic to address computer issues first, such as doing everything one can do to keep data from competing with IL-2 in RAM. The first couple pages of this thread go into that.


I hope that this helps.

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate that you are trying to help.

Well, I don't think the lack of RAM might be a problem, because I have 4 GB of it and when I'm running IL-2, there is still about 1,5 GB free (even after long time playing). I am not using any mods at the moment, as I think there is no mod pack jet for the newest version of the game.
Today, I tried to to increase my total available VRAM, so I disabled all eye candy that Win 7 has (aero and so on). It gave me about 30 MB. Now the game runs smooth without those shutters and I have about 15 MB free of my 256 MB VRAM. So I suppose that lack of VRAM causes the problems.
I hope that this will finally fix those frickin' shutters

PS: I just hope that IL-2 doesn't need any more VRAM, because there is no way I could give it more...
