Latest stutter fixes worked

Also gave me a pretty big boost in speed.

I just tried these fixes with the latest Omegas and it worked!

http://www.blep.net/hl2stutter/

These two fixes are the ones that worked (along with all my other tweaks)- the stuttering was pretty much cured after the patch but I still got a few, plus the framerate seemed to suffer. After I did these two things, the game runs fast and the stuttering is gone completely.

Updated Miles sound system files---

Putting this in the run options [COLOR=DarkOrange]+snd_async_prefetch_priority 1[/COLOR]

Along with disabling Auto save completely-

This is my complete launch options:
[COLOR=DarkOrange]-heapsize 512000 -rate 75 +map_background none +snd_async_prefetch_priority 1[/COLOR]



This is my autoexec:

sv_cheats "1"
fov "90"
cl_showfps "1"
cl_smooth "0"
fps_max "100"
snd_mixahead "0.05"
cl_forcepreload "1"
sv_forcepreload "1"
cl_ragdoll_collide"1"
r_decals "1000"
r_maxmodeldecal"25"
dsp_enhance_stereo "0"
bindtoggle z cl_showfps "2"
sv_autosave "0"




It is running great @ 1200 x 900 / 2xAA / 4xAF (can do more AA on some maps)

Mid sound settings but high sound seems to be not much different.
using 5.1 speakers, no vsync.

Not bad at all, the game is running great on the hard level- SO much better than the first time I played through it.

RDoggy is on a distinguished road

Something i have found for Geforce4 users.....

I got the game last night it stutered badly at times. After scouring the web for various fixes. I finnally tryed a very old driver just out of curiousity. The detonator 44.03. Whola no more stuttering. You will get a message when you try to use the driver that its out of date and may not work. But it will work great on a geforce4 and looks good too.....

I can't seem to be able to find the autosave files in the SAVE folder. Should I create them and make them read only?
P.S BWX dont you need a space between r_maxmodeldecal and "25"??
