Stuttering especially while in town.

[LanikMueller]

I have had this from day one. I built this PC just to run this game and started out with using some new and old parts just to get up and running. At first I figured it was stuff like to little ram, under powered video card or that I was using a parallel ata hard drive. I kept upgrading hardware and honestly I have seen a minimal performance increase. I of course played around with the settings and tried settings I have seen recommended on random topics over the months. Tho I rarely see anyone else with a setup similar to mine. I have some settings that seem to be the least troublesome set atm. Every time I upgraded something I would think "this should fix it" I were wrong.
