Hi, something came to mind because of a problem I have with a Phenom II X4 BE 965 that might be causing this (probably not but can't hurt to try).
When I run Warband, it will only use one core even with force single threading unchecked. Even in normal multiplayer games that core is more or less maxed most of the time, so I imagine in single player with a lot of units and AI calculations going on that's only made worse and might cause some stutter when approaching. There is a simple way to fix it only using one core:
First see if it IS only using core 0 by bringing up windows task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) and going to the Performance tab. It shows a graph for each of your processor's cores. Run warband in windowed mode with task manager still open and run around a bit in game, then tab out to the task manager. If the first core has high usage and the others little to none, then you have this problem.
To fix it, go to the task manager's Processes tab after starting warband and find mb_warband.exe in the list. Right click it and click Set Affinity. Untick every core but the first (core 0), and click ok. Go back into Set Affinity and tick every core again and click ok. After doing that, warband makes uses of all my cores properly.
