C&C Generals problem...

[BoomAM]

Hi.
Ive started playing with C&C Generals a lot lately, no Zero hour, just normal generals.
The problem im having is that every few seconds or so the game will stutter, then go back to normal, then a few seconds later stutter again, and so on.
Ive no idea why its doing this, its not a graphical issue as in the seconds that its running normally, everything is silky smooth. Plus, the problem happens even when nothing is happening graphically.

Ive only noticed it when im playing against 2 brutal armies, and the problem seems to go away when one of the armies is destroyed, and the other all but gone. So that to me points to prehaps an AI issue.

Anyway, i cant find any info on the issue with many google searches. So does anyone know of a fix?

Running the latest patch bty.

Thanks in advance all.

Sounds kind of like a dual core problem?

Thats what i thought.
But setting the affinity to '0' doesnt seem to help at all. Or setting it to '1' (both being set by alt-tabbing out then opening task manager).
And the AMD dualcore thing that sorts out timings seems to be working fine as well.

Im hoping, although its a slim chance, that Zero hour will fix it. Im getting Zero hour in the next few days so hopefully that'll fix it. Although probably not.

Shame that.
I cant remember, but does the problem happen with Zero Hour as well?

Its also strange that it doesnt happen in SP mode though.
