For over a month I've been asking for help, now I'm trying to give some. We all have times when our meter is constantly stuttering and when it's happening the game isn't any fun. I found this free program that almost eliminates it when it's happening. It's called "Game Booster 3". I don't run it all the time, I only turn it on when I start getting the hiccups. When it starts happening, I just minimize the game and "Start Boost".
It hasn't failed to help yet and I've been using it about a week.
