This is a problem on a friend's newly built machine. Single player runs great and smooth but multiplayer runs like crap. basically, we open multiplayer and the menu lags. In game frames will stutter and skip, just like in the menu. Even when we start our own server. with nobody on it.
Here's what I've tried:
The microsoft multicore gaming patch. This fixed it. But for whatever reason he uninstalled cod4 and after reinstalling the problem came back. So, after checking the catalyst settings, I disabled Catalyst AI and it ran much smoother, but still stutters, and it's very annoying. Other games run fine. It's just CoD4 multiplayer. And it has nothing to do with internet connection because the menus stutter too.
Any ideas? Thanks.
