I had no stuttering issues on my game at all. However I do have issues with securom (aka failrom) not reading my CD anymore. Sadly, I got this from walmart and they will do nothing but exchange it for the exact same game. I also have fallout 3 which was a good game other than the failrom protection which has caused me nothing but issues.
I suggest trying to find a copy that does not have failrom on it. In fact it could BE failrom that is causing your stuttering since it may be checking every few mins to make certain you are not running a pirated copy.
I also want to let this company know that securom does not make this game secure, all it does is make your PAYING customer have enormous difficulty in playing a game that they PAID for while those who pirate it and have your protection removed, play on with no difficulty. Let me say this as clearly as I can..
REMOVE secure rom. It is WASTED code. I have a legit copy of this game and you are FORCING me to have to find a pirated copy just to PLAY a game a PAID for.
