Try this also, fixed my issues and now the game is playable.

First is in UTEngine.ini

Changed :
From: PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=False
Into: PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=True

Second is in UTEngine.ini

Changed:
From: bInitializeShadersOnDemand=False
Into: bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True

Third is ingame (or ini-modifiable too I think)

Changed: Enabled OpenAL audio (I think that's what's it called)
to disable.

Forth in UTEngine.ini

Change

From: UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=False
Into: UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True

thanks, but I already tried all of that

Some people are finding the beta nvidia drivers to be unstable. See this thread (and read the next page of postings in it, too).

Odd... I get stuttering when I walk, but not when I move the mouse in online games.

The game runs 100% fine in offline.
I join a multiplayer game with low ping and everything is fine until I try walking then it starts skipping. However if I stand still and just look around everything runs fine again and nobody around is lagging at all.

What's even stranger is that it was working fine this morning, but now it's unplayable...

Any theories? I doubt it's hardware since the offline works flawlessly, and it's not the graphics settings as I've tried them up and down and was playing fine on them earlier, and it's not the connection since it's fine as long as I don't walk and the initial ping is low?

yeah really strange indeed, and I have no clue what would cause this, especially if you have n't experienced the problem be4

[SMooTHRiLL]

Well if you're moving the camera around, the game engine is having to redraw a lot more objects than if you're just moving straight forward, so maybe your video settings are too high for the system you've got.

not really. Rest of new games work fine, and Pentium Dual Core 3.0GhZ with Nvidia Gforce 8600GTS should do just fine.

I have the same stuttering, but constantly and windowed or full screen and at any resolution or video/sound options. It just stutters all the time. Funny thing is it only stutters when I move the camera, not when I walk one way without moving my mouse.

This works for me--maybe it'll help others too

I play on high, and smooth too--but it wasn't that way to start with...lots of stuttering, choppiness, and 1-2 second freezes...take your whole UT3 folder, and add it to your anti-virus exclusion list. No sense wasting all that memory and cpu power to scan your game with every breath it takes. Run "search". There are two other UT3 sub-folders. Can't hurt to add them to the AV exclusion list too. (I haven't used any patches yet). I've played Deathmatch to Warfare, and it's been smooth and skip free. No glitches or problems with sound to speak of.

I had unplayable stuttering until I turned world detail down to 1 (from 5). Game runs smooth now....well with its occasional glitches ofcourse

I don't remember having the problem in the demo, but it's very bad in the retail.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

didnt have this problem in bioshock or MoH: Airborne...had both those games maxed
as well as i have tried putting the settings to low...nothing changed

Our issue however is the stuttering constantly, not just first couple of minutes. And only when I move the camera.

Well if you're moving the camera around, the game engine is having to redraw a lot more objects than if you're just moving straight forward, so maybe your video settings are too high for the system you've got.

im having the same issue -_-

[SMooTHRiLL]

See my thread and try what I suggest. I have been noticing it online, but if my suspicion is correct, it may hold true offline as well.

I've checked your thread, but I only play offline, so I can't tell you anything about online. Our issue however is the stuttering constantly, not just first couple of minutes. And only when I move the camera, not when I just walk, jump shoot whatever without moving my mouse then everythign's very smooth. I really don't get it.
