Stuttering FPS

[DARGON606]

Im having stuttering issues during the game with the FPS but the game runs just fine through FAF. And (i cant stress this enough) the stuttering or lag or whatever is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT caused by
Too many Units
Hardware
or any hardware limitation such as ram
If anyone has any idea what causes this itd be appreciated

Have you tried to see if the stutter also occurs in vanilla?
If it is just with FAF try disabling all other in game mods.
Try raising the games process priority in task manager a level higher.

I used to have mods but i removed them. AND reinstalled the game 3 different times. And i just tried raising game process priority. didn't help. Im gonna try updating the drivers and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I would also search over on the FAF forums as i have found a few good suggestions over there for issues in the past.

Just throwing a few things out there, did you delete the hidden folders/obscure folders when you reinstalled, thing there is one in your AppData folder ect.

Also not sure what Redistributables SC uses other than DirectX.
Maybe check if it uses Visual C++ redistribtable and repair or reinstall that too??

I did go through and delete hidden folders last time i reinstalled. I found the ones in appdata and the mygames folder are there any others?

There is a folder in (Windows 10 yours may be differentf on 7 or 8)
appdata/local/gas powered games
appdata/roaming/forged alliance forever

If you do end up reinstalling it might be an idea to unistall FAF also, reboot and go into your Registry and search for any folders left over and delete these also:
Supreme Commander Forged Allaince
Gas Powered Games
Forged Alliance Forever

Then reinstall.

You say your hardware is fine and you have updated your drivers ect so not sure where else to point.

I had an issue with ingame sound a few weeks ago and it was linked to Directsound in windows. It was fixed just by a simple reboot but others needed to go into BIOS disable and re enable sound from there to fix it.

Could it be an issue caused by your sound i wonder.
Some games can lag and stutter due to sound problems so maybe go into your Device Manager and just Disable your sound, Realtek, Nvidea or whatever and try the game without any sound??

Just throwing a few things to try that have worked more then i care to mention over the years.
You could try running it as Administator.
You could maybe run it in compatibility mode as its an old ish game.

Did you get your stuttering issue fixed, if you did what finally resolved it, might help someone else in the future ect??

I'm having no sound issuses - or some sound is there sometimes but most often not.
It happens everytime I play.

The game has been installed fine for a long time - I worked fine until i updated my nvidia drivers.

I'll try the bios thing.

The tech help section of the FAF forum was the best advice for several issues i had. Create a new thread there with as much information about your set up as possible.
