25 to life win10 stuttering

[linobanfix 0]

Hi,

I installed 25 to life on windows 10 and every time the game loads an audio file, such as cops voices, the game freezes for a few micro seconds creating stuttering.
The problem is the data_dx / stream folder which contains 5000 emt files.

If I delete these files the game is very fluid, but obviously the sound effects are missing.

Does it happen to you too? I use a MSI GE62VR 6RF APACHE PRO and the game is installed on ssd. I also tried to start it in xp / 98 compatibility

Thanks

What happens to me is that when shooting, the game  micro stuttering as you can see in the frametime line.

If this is what happens to you, if it happens to me .

Thanks for the video. Yes, its the same problem.

The problem are the voices of the cops and player when they see enemies or dies. I think the game have problems to load all that small audio files in data_dx /stream

If you delete all emt files on that folder, you will see that all micro stutters disappear.

Maybe other games uses emt files and someone found a solution?

If it helps, 25 to Life's emt files are just renamed ogg files. Not sure if maybe there's some way we could rename them to ogg and then compress them or something?

Thanks for the advice. I tried compressing the files but the micro-stutters didn't disappear.

I found out that there is an unofficial updated version called 25 to life Classic. For now they have only updated the online multiplayer, where they have also fixed the micro-stutters. Unfortunately the single player mode is not available but maybe they will add it in the next updates.
