For some reason this game stutters every time you start a level (even if you close the game and restart the same level). Checking through the HUD it seems related to shader compiling, but for some reason it seems to ignore cached shaders (this is just a guess, I 'm no graphics developer (:). I've also tried with WIneD3D and could observe the same behavior. It's possible to be a game bug, but I'm attaching the trace anyway.

To reproduce:

  • Start the first level and you notice stuttering during the opening animation
  • Close the game
  • Start the same level again

If you can also observe the same stutter with wined3d, it's probably either a game issue or a wine issue.

@mrdeathjr28 I could notice the stuttering on your video (on the opening startship cutscene of the first level). It is minimum, but it is there (on my end it's a little bit worse). This issue is not a big deal, because during gameplay they don't happen. @K0bin is probably right: it should be a game or wine bug. I'll add a comment on the related Proton thread.
