Alright long story short I got my dad DoW2 so we could play on LAN
It was just me and him on a 1v1 going up against eachother and he would lock up and stuttering at least every 15-20 seconds regardless of how much was going on at the time (So its not tied into FPS)
I had him launch a single player skirmish with 7 bots and they kept mass producing units and he didn't stutter once SO I'm assuming this is some kind of bizarre network problem.
I don't seem to have the problem in this LAN situation, and I can play just fine online with others so I've narrowed it down to his rig.
Rig Specs on his are here:
Intel Core2Duo E6400 @ 2.13Ghz
Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 @ 5-5-5-18 2.0v
eVGA GeForce 8800GTX
500w Antec PSU
MSI 650i MoBo
Does anyone know of some kind of patch/tweak/glitch I'm missing here? We double checked all his NIC settings and our router seems to be in good working order...not to mention this only happens in DoW2 (We played a couple other RTSs over LAN like Supreme Commander and Dawn of War 1 with no problem)
Ideas?
*edit*
He also is running it through STEAM so its totally updated, along with all his drivers.
