    Stuttering

    After the character creation screen and the mini tutorials the CS kinda stutters for me. Graphics card is fine and all so is my RAM card. It's a brand new laptop and it passed the recommended system requirements. Just kinda confused why it would stutter. >< Any ideas?

    Turn down to minimal settings and see if it still stutters.

    Are you talking about in-game cutscenes or the first few intro videos? The intro vids never worked for me either if that's what you mean. The audio repeats and playback stutters, but the rest of the game is normal. I just ignored it since the story is totally inane anyway. You can probably watch it online somewhere all the same.

    Game seems to refresh oddly w/some monitors (only during CS's). Turn on vertical sync if you need to and check to see if ur using a VGA or DVI cord. If running VGA converted from a monitor that uses DVI (or better), then spend the money to upgrade that cord and the issue should go away

    I play on a laptop. ^^; But yeah just the beginning CS and the voice from the tutorial thingy. The other CS's flow just fine though which is odd.

    Send me this laptop and I'll fix it. The probability of you getting it back would be less then zero though. You have been warned.

    Seriously though, that stuttering and video clipping isn't the fault of your hardware. It's just sloppiness on NCsoft's part. The same thing happens to both my laptop and desktop when I first started playing. Just gotta ignore it.

    The thing that annoys me the most atm is how long it takes for the game to load. If I already have a few programs running, the game takes an infinite amount of time to load. It's as if the game is creating itself each time it starts. I really can't understand why it takes so long. Makes me wonder what it is doing. I've never experienced this issue with other games.

    Yea that too. I get the AION (Not Responding.....) then when I'm about to exit it out it'll go through. But everything else flows fine just except those noted issues.

    I've heard this from a number of people and it is true it can take a while to load. But I'm just content that it is simple. As opposed to logging in to FFXI which is just short of breaking into Fort Knox in it's convolutedness.

    Well, there have been some major ATI issues with Aion. Your laptop's hard drive is only 5400rpm, so that could also be the problem, as the cutscenes are pulled from your computer. You can try defragmenting, idk if it'd help, but it's worth a try.

    Thats a kind of nice hint when shit is about to hit the fan when you're questing in a pvp zone. I like it.

    The stuttering mainly happens in the opening CS and the tutorials. But eh haven't had that many issues in Sactum or the Asmo city. xP
