Far Cry 2 stuttering fix

[culthuu]

I'm not sure if this needs to go into the Far Cry 2 sticky but I'll put it in a new thread. If I'm wrong I apologize. I'm playing Far Cry 2 on an older system with a Core Due 6600, 2 Gigs of ram and a BFG 8800 GTS 512M. The game ran rasonably well at 1680X1050 at Ultra High. But as I played the game I noticed it started to catch or hesitate. The frames would be between 30 & 50 fps then suddenly the game would stutter and drop down to single digits. I thought it was heat but I've got the system in a good Cooler Master Stacker case with plenty of fans. So I lowered the settings to 'Optimal' but that didn't help. I was also getting frustrated waiting for the saves. As the game progressed it took longer and longer for saves. So I decided to go into the save game and back up the saves that were there and delete all but the last handful. I had built up over a gig of save games. Strangely enough not only did that solve the long save time but it got rid of the stuttering.
This may have been brought up before but I searched and didn't see it here. So hopefuly this might help some people with older systems like mine.

I had the same thing happen with my while playing the first Crysis. And deleting some of the early game saves fixed that too.
