latency in the performance of the intro. to the game?

from PolMach Forums

Why does the intro. to the game ("...a light-hearted cartoon about the race for the White House"; "grand spectacle" ;)   ) stop and start every couple of seconds?  It looks and sounds a little like skipping, continuing all the way through until the end.

P.S. If you need to know my video card specs, then please see my previous post to the forum, titled "my video card."

The Geforce FX series is known to be pretty bad at anti-aliasing. Just set it to 0 in the options and it should clear that right up.

--Thanks; in the NVIDIA Control Panel options (for 3D), I set it to none.  That seems to help, but the symptoms still persist.  Any other ideas?

THANKS AGAIN

Set it to 0 in the game (labeled there as multisample), I meant. Sorry for not being clear. You might also need to turn off map glow and/or border lines, but try the AA first.

In the Options menu of the game, it is B.  I set that to Multisamples Off.  Then, I rebooted, and tried again; no luck.  Next, in the Options menu of the game, I set E  Draw Outlines to NO, and F  Map Glow to NO.  I rebooted and tried again - - no luck again.  Finally, I went back into the NVIDIA Control Panel, and set all the options back to the original/factory settings that I had for the video card, before I had tried to turn off anti-aliasing in there.  Now, it's back to "application controlled."  After yet another reboot, and trying the intro. to the game again, it still has the same performance issues.  HELP!!

If we could see the contents of your debug.err file then we might be able to track down the issue.  The file is located at "documents/my games/polMachine2008/debug.err" and can be opened with notepad.  Copy the entire contents of that file and Paste into your reply and we'll take a look at it.
