Did they fix the radio stutter from Fallout 3 in this game. I would like to know before hand because I would just go buy the 360 version later today instead of the PC version. I hated having to hit the escape key over and over but I do like the mod's for the PC version. So if anyone that had that issue with Fallout 3 and it's gone with this game. Let me know, thanks.

I hope so Fallout 3 was the only game that has put me through problems when it comes to audio.

If you do see the problem, the same fix as in FO3 likely applies:

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9606

I've verified that this does work. However, I've also had other games (one, but it's a possibility) stop working correctly after implementing this.

Fortunately it's a quick toggle!

Notice
======
I do not take any responsibility of making this DirectShow filter. All copyrights belong to the author of this file Armin Gerritsen.

Description
===========
This file fixes the general radio stutter problem.

Quote from the mainpage of the project:
"This is a DirectShow filter for the MAD library. The idea is mostly to provide an example on how to write a DirectShow audio-filter, however the filter itself can be used as a replacement for the standard MPEG Audio Layer 1, 2 and 3 filters."

Also if you are using FFDShow, I recommend you to disable FFDShow for running the filter more effective.

Install
=======
1. Extract MADFilter.ax together with register.bat to any folder (for example Windows\System)
2. Run register.bat or, if you put the filter into Windows\System, type in a console, or via Start -> Run: "regsvr32 MADFilter.ax"

Uninstall
=========
1. Extract unregister.bat to the same folder as MADFilter.ax and run it. Or, if you put the filter into Windows\System, you can also type in a console, or via Start -> Run: "regsvr32 -u MADFilter.ax"
2. Delete MADFilter.ax

Thank you I hate to see questions unanswered.

radio tracks stream as they are playing. as do the meshes. and the textures. and the audio. and....

the only thing that fixed radio-stutter for me (in FO3) was giving my machine a good old defrag after installing it. Worked like a charm.

I'll try this first and then fall back onto the MADfilter if this doesn't work.

Different problem, same symptom. In my case I'd seen it stutter with no disk activity, and the framerate pegged solid at 60fps (vsync). Eventually I figured it out. I'm not sure why my Fraunhoffer codec was acting up, but hey. It's worth a try at least!

For me it was AC3filter that was causing radio stutter. Unregistering that filter fixed it.

Alright I'll keep this in mind as well.

FYI there's a tool in that falout3nexus file I linked above that shows and lets you enable/disable these filters.

Thanks I was already aware of that.
If I run into the radio problem when I get the game I'll be sure to try everything you guys mentioned.
