Silent Hill 3 [PC] sound stuttering in win98 problem

jpxtreme · January 18th, 2007

Hi, i downloaded and played Silent Hill 3 demo version before deciding to buy the full one. But recently, I have encountered some problems playing this game on my 98 machine wherein the sound or the background music is stuttering while in-game and it's really annoying. I have tried this on XP and it cured the problem but I wanted to play this on 98 because of it's nature being a fast OS and low consumption of resources for my poor pc. (BTW, i used 98 Lite micro which is amazingly fast!

) So anyone got a workaround on this issue, it would be awesome if you share it how? I tried finding a solution regarding on this problem in KONAMI's forums but no luck. It seems many people
also is having this issue in 98, but as of now there is no patch available. Have a nice day, thanks in advance!

My poor system:

Celeron 2.13Ghz
256mb-ddr RAM
Geforce FX5200 128mb

Try installing the VIA 4-in-1 driver. Old ones, not the Hyperion one.
