Lately, I have been having this random issue when I play starcraft 2. 50% of the time when a match loads there will be this stuttering every 1.5 seconds. It's obviously unplayable. I tried a million things to try and fix it and haven't been able to figure it out. Several other people have the same unsolvable issue.
Anyway, I've been talking to blizzard support, and the most recent recommendation is :
"it appears this issue has to do with Intel's speedstep power saving feature. You need to shut it off in the BIOS - to do this, you'll need to do some online searches, because Im not intel support so I can't walk you through how to shut down their stuff =\
There is also a 'cool'n'quiet' feature with amd that you should look into disabling. Again, a quick online search will tell you how =)
Let us know if it still happens after these are disabled =)"
And I don't know how to do this stuff or even how it works/what it does. I don't really trust their tech support that much considering that a lot of them have been giving me useless or redundant generic advice. I found this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100308130827AA18AEG but I don't even know if it's correct.
I'm on XP sp3, intel c2d e675, p35 ds3r mobo, 2g ram, nvidia gtx260 oc, IDE and sata drives, all drivers updated etc.
