Well, it must be CoD 4. I don't get the stutters in BC2 multiplayer (a MUCH more demanding game) I have tried screwing with the settings with no result. I am getting 100 FPS but it still stutters every damn minute.

100FPS? Maybe try VSync?

I always use Vsync. I tried turning it off to see if that was the problem. No good.

So you're on a high-end CRT then? I don't see how you get 100FPS and still have VSync on unless it's a bug or something. VSync should cap FPS at your monitors refresh rate which is most likely 60hz so 60FPS would be max. Although there seems to be 1 exception: BF2. I always get 100FPS there...

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I turned off vsync and some other settings to see if it was that. I was getting 100FPS with the stuff off, including vsync.

Ah, ok :P 100fps then must be the engine cap or something like BF2.

Cod4 uses the hard drive a lot more than most games. I'm not sure why (I use to know and forgot) but it does. Its probably a hard drive issue.

(Keeping in mind I have over 2000 hours played in cod4 :P)

Well I tested my hard drive with SeaTools and it failed both the short and long self tests. It failed the tests rather quickly, which leaves me to wonder why everything else but CoD 4 works perfectly fine on my computer....

Doing some more tests. It passed the short generic test and is still doing the long generic test.

I would be cloning that hard drive as soon as possible just in case it fails.


Done. I don't have that much important stuff anyways.

Get Speedtest and there's a button that shows something like "get more information from an indepth online test" or some crap. Click it and down towards the bottom of the page there's a link to share, paste that here :) Then run chkdsk and force recovery of bad whatnots.

CoD4 accesses the hard drive far more than any game Ive ever seen. Its some thing with the engine. I had the same stuttering when I had CoD4 installed on my variable speed drive.

It greatly depends. If it's a motor or head going out, failure would be all over the place. But if it's a couple bad sectors then it depends on where those sectors are and what files are in there. Doing the indepth test that Speedfan has (did I say speedtest?) will tell you info about it. Running chkdsk will attempt to recover bad sectors with the spare ones every hard drive has.
