Event Movies Stutter

from GalCiv2 Forums
Not just the event movies but the intro movie also stutters. The tutorial movies work fine. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

It used to happen to me, too. I did a few things, but don't know what ultimately fixed the problem.

I turned off anti-aliasing, updated my video drivers, and increased the size of my swap file. Now my swap file starts at 1.5 GB instead of 768 MB and maxes out at 2 GB instead of 1.5 GB. The game generally caused my swap file to peak at 1.1 to 1.2 GB anyway, so I figured that I might as well have it set to above that by default.

As I said, though: I don't know exactly what solved the problem, but I don't have it anymore.

turning off AA seems to fix it, as the readme also suggests. Either way, it's annoying, as AA does make the game allt he more beautiful. Fix please, Stardock?

I'm having this problem as well.
Turning off AA just causes the intro movie to freeze, but the voice continues.

I'm sick of buying something having to upgrade my PC for a 4X game.
