Game Pause every time an enemy notices or dies.

[Ghostbear373]

The game pauses briefly everytime an enemy notices that I'm there and the game pauses again every time i land a killing blow on an enemy.

 

I lowered the graphical settings to very low and the problem still occurred, so thats not it.

 

The first tiem it happened, I had jsut installed shivering isles, but after reinstalling and starting on a fresh game, the problem still occurs.

I suspect the problem actually lies with your sound card. My guess is that you have on-board sound. This creates a huge processor load on your system. If you do have on-board sound look at purchasing a stand alone card. I highly recommend the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi series.

 

You might want to post your system specs to give a better picture of what's going on with your system.
