"Ok, I'm sure many notice a slight stutter in the game, even with a powerful computer (as if its not running smooth). Well, that can be fixed and I have done so (I hope it works for you also, it should as I tested it with a couple different computers).
All edits have been done in the "cfg_pc_h.ini", "cgf_pc_m.ini", and "cgf_pc_l.ini" files found in
"C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\FIFA 07\data\cmn" or wherever you installed FIFA 07 to.
Here are the changes.
Changed RENDER_RATE_MODE from 7 to 2 (this makes the game run smoother when you make long passes or any time the camera moves to follow the ball, you'll love how much smoother it is).
EDIT: If anyone wants to understand why this is 2 instead of 7, I will explain this now. While using FRAPS, I noticed when "RENDER_RATE_MODE = 2", its as if it forced FIFA 07 to try and stay at a steady 60fps (very little change, 55-60fps). When "RENDER_RATE_MODE = 7", I noticed it bounce around all over the place, it wasnt doing a good job of keeping a steady framerate (anywhere from 45-85fps), hence why it seems jerky. Remember I am talking about gameplay and not the cutscenes (they seem to run lower not matter what setting)." (socceraming forumrol van)
