Jade Empire Stutter Fix
=======================
Jade Empire has a known issue where, if your system has not been restarted for a
long time (on the order of many days), the game will stutter: it will still be
running at a high framerate (depending on your hardware and settings), but
animations and movement will be janky and stuttery as if it was running at a
much lower framerate. While this problem goes away when you reboot your
computer, that's annoying if you don't reboot often.
This simple drop-in fix will make Jade Empire run smoothly even if the system
has been up for a long time. It was tested with the GOG and Origin versions of
the game, but should work with any other version as well (like the Steam
release).
Installation
============
- Extract the contents of this archive (in particular `d3d9.dll`) into your
Jade Empire installation directory, next to `JadeEmpire.exe`.
- Run the included `vcredist_x86.exe` installer to install the
*Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable*. You may already have it
installed in which case the installer will do nothing.
To uninstall the fix, simply remove the `d3d9.dll` from your Jade Empire
directory.
