Stuttering issues with The Stanely Parable

[Der]

It seems like every 20 steps I take my game briefly stutters, nothing major but definitely noticeable. I have a decent computer and I've had an issue before and after updating my gfx drivers.

I have verified the integrity of my game cache 3 or 4 times, each time it says 3 files failed to validate. I'm not sure what this is about.

I get a stuttering issue every time the narrator begins a new line of dialog, I can only assume there is some kind of problem with loading up each sound file, or something like that. This is a Source engine game right? now that I think of it I remember getting similar problems playing other Source games.

Now that I think about it that's pretty much when it happens for me as well.

Happens here too. Right before new narration the game will freeze for a split second. It's really annoying. =/

I am also have a lot of issues with crashing. It sucks because I actually really enjoy this game I just can't get settled in!

That's exactly my problem now, as well! Is there a solution for it? I really wanna play this game. :(

Solved by having to turn v-sync on and set to "double buffering." For some weird reason turning v-sync off introduces the stuttering.
