2-3 seconds freezing/stutter

[SofaPod]

I too suffer from pauses/stuttering as the game accesses at my hard drive. Even with the >2GB of memory switch it still uses up everything before inevitably starting the flush...

it should indeed use everything else before having to flush, but the point is that said flush should no longer happen as frequently - only when changing sector, or a large group of ships jump in, say

I have the same problem as everyone else ie stuttering and freezing don`t understand all the technical jargon but it seems that there is no answer at the moment 1.3 didn`t address it wether 1.4 will remains to be seen meanwhile I think I`ll go back to X3R

Confirm that 1.3 don't help, since the game is still running bad: first it's ok with even max settings, but suddenly (after undocking or entering other sector or something else I can't predict) it goes to 1 frame per 5-6 secs. And then runs badly all the further time untill setting to med textures. Also one not good issue appears then playing on max: as well suddenly HUD looses all infe, i.e. speed, distance, shield/hull, even cursor sign. Visiting another sector helps, but not permanently. It's strange, but all objects became transparent and a kind of "whiteish". The universe map may dissappear the same time. The dissappearing of sector round icons on it - is a usual thing for me. I cure all this stuff only by putting textures to medium, but leave the rest ones on max though. It helps, but it's not right.

Awaiting for 1.4 patch???
