I did look around for this, I did not find what I was looking for. (Nor does the internet seem to have this issue logged anywhere.)
Occasionally, when playing Civ 5, the Unit animations, Camera Movement (if panning), and other "mobile" effects in the game will stutter or sputter. The little circle that goes around a unit is a perfect example. The little mark will sputter and stutter as it travels around the circle surrounding the unit, not like the normal smooth movement it ought to take. Animal resource animations will also look epileptic (the foxes of the furs resource, or elephants of the ivory resource, for example).
Closing the program and starting it up again does not seem to help. I lowered all my graphical settings to easier loads, and at first, this did help. But then the stuttering started up again in a later game. As it is, my graphics settings dont seem to matter much.
I should note, when this ISNT happening, it will not happen at all for the remainder of a game, it if happens at all, it happens immediately on turn one, and will happen even if the program is saved, closed, and reopened. (New Games also seem to have the problem once it begins in the program). The only solution i've noticed is to reboot my computer - but that might be coincidental, I am uncertain.
I have attempted to update what drivers I thought i needed to, and my computer is within the specs. I'm at a loss for what this might be.
Also - there are random red dots throughout the world, usually in tundra, looks like where "snow" might ought to be. They're bright red, and others have reported them, but I saw no consistency with those reports. They're minor and unintrusive (if anti-immersive) but I wondered if maybe this wasnt linked to the graphical issue above.
Thanks for anyone who might be a genius and help a fool out.
EDIT: I should note that the stuttering makes the game wholly unplayable. It's too annoying by far. It's a crippling amount, not occasional once it starts.
