jitterness

[mosser1989]

Im getting this bag jittering, everything including mouse movement consistently lags. Tried all the things mentioned in other post and nothing has stopped the jittering.

I tried playing, just isn't possible. If you're going to re-release a game like this, putting some effort in would be nice. Look at stronghold HD, simpy amazing work with a game I haven't played since I used windows 98. Fix this plz, I'd love to see this campaign everyone loves so much.

game works fine for me, but i agree, remake will be awesome for sure

[mosser1989]

whats your settings and general specs

[Talint]

I play at 1680x1050 res.
win7 32bit, phenom ii x4 955, 4gb ram, 1gb radeon hd 6900 series

so far the res hasnt had en effect on the jitters, i have more ram but my video card and processer arent that strong. although it shouldnt matter with this so this jitterness certainly isnt because of my system capabilities

I have this exact same issue... No one anywhere seems to know how to fix it. :(

Bump ?

[mosser1989]

yea, it seems a GAME BREAKING problem isn't a concern. U know, since i paid for this i think a tad bit of support would be nice. until then it just waste text space in my library

The 'jitterness' isn't a problem in terms of lack of graphics power. The game by default has a framerate limit of 20 FPS! Thus this makes the game feel juttery! To correct this you must be in the actual game (just load any mission, skirmish etc) then press the Num Lock key on your keyboard to pause the game. Then press Enter on your keyboard. You should see a flashing blue cursor on the bottom left above the toolbar. The following commands can be entered to setup the game properly for a more 'modern' feel pressing enter after each one:-

Graph.Zoom.Max #
(# = a number. Increases maximum zoom out level via Page Up and Page Down - I recommend 200 as it could crash the game to zoom out too much.)

GraphRate #
(Sets the animation framerates in game. I recommend 60 FPS for obvious reasons)

Graph.Cursor.Size #
(This sets the size of the mouse cursor - I recommend 30)

These settings will modernise the game a bit. Ive completed the entire LC compaign using settings like these. The game can be tuned but it must be done manually each time the game is started annoyingly but the game is so good, I think its a good fix and worth the effort. Annoying how this must be done when in the game but once done once it applies to the entire session which is good. BTW Use the + and - keys on your number pad to increase and decrease the game speed! Then you can find a perfect balance and the game feels great!

Trying to figure out how to make it stick permanently like ea common setting but looks like it isnt possible. Oh well. Could be worse.

There are more settings BTW but please be careful as it could crash the game :) Have fun!

This issue can be fixed by setting processor affinity to only one of the processor cores.
Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc and right click on process name of this game(Earth2150.exe), and change affinity to cpu0 only (actually my windows is localized, so i dont remember original name of that context menu, but you easy find it). This action you must do always after game launch.
Another game affected by this issue for example - Perimetr, which can be fixed in same manner.
Sorry for possibly bad English.
