Movies Studdering

[Oni]

Hi i just got my game

Everything seems to work fine but the intro vide (I am not sure about others though but I am worried) is studdering. The video itself seems to be moving along but the sound chops out about every 3 sec so it is annoying and I did not bother to watch it (although I want to be able to watch the numerous videos of course).

I have a NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 (128MB Ram)
Intel Centrino 1.8MHz
528MB Ram

I hope someone can help.

Also in the manual it says under "Advanced" I should be able to access the movies although it is not there.
I see all of the other things that are suppose to be but no "movies"

I have the same problem

My movies are choppy too.

Same goes here...

Same here and i installed the latest ATI plus Omega drivers but it didn't help.

Try changing your resolution to 1024x768 if it isn't already... let me know if that fixes it.

I think its a bug between the movies and the resolution.

 

[Tunch Khan]

Tried every possible option and different resolutions, different game setting from options, low graphic detail and all; none of them worked yet.

Does that to me too

Try disabling your audio acceleration.

Same thing happening to me, disappointing because the intro looks really cool. I like the music, too.

Won't guareentee results but two things helped me. I changed the ini file so the game runs in Windowed mode. This stopped 95% of the stuttering in the movies. Info here. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=134045

I also have been using 3dAnalyze - a T&L emulation program - and it has really eliminated most of the movie stutting and sped the game up some. Info here. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=135025

Well after I played for a while I could observe that the Wonder videos should be working for me (atleast the one I got was).

The intro is the only video that studders. Not sure if that means anything to anyone.

But has anyone noticed the missing "Movies" from the "Advanced Menu"

The manual says it should be listed between "Options" and "Check for Updates" but it is not ther

I only noticed this because I figured I could try to play the intro from there and see if it studdered also....

For me, out of the box (no fussing or tweaking) everything works, including the intro movie, BUT wonder movies have stuttering sound...
