    Just wondering what peoples opinions were, Im running the latest at present but just lately I have noticed a bogging down of the game it stutters when first spawning and generally does not feel as smooth as it was.

    I too got a problem with stuttering on BF:BC2.
    My guess is that my Seagate Momentus XT is to blame.

    Running AMD Catalyst 11.5 hotfix that was clean installed just to be sure.
    Game settings dont matter, running all low on Dx9 dont help at all.

    Probably gonna change the hdd anyways so no biggie, but until then its Section 8 time. ;D

    v sync can cause stutter if you are bouncing around 60 fps... try turning it off.
