I'm having an issue with stuttering sounds. I was trying to track down the source of the problem or at least get you guys more information to work with, so I ran a mission in 3.6.12d_INF_SSE2. I didn't experience the sound problem, but there was a brief lockup of the whole game - I've been having that issue in other games or while watching video, so I think it's an issue with OS config or some background program.
Anyway, out of curiosity I looked at the fs2open.log. It was 12 megabytes (!) of "Requested main shader not found." I'm not having any obvious graphical problems, but I guess I'm not sure what the shaders are supposed to look like.
Operating System Windows 7 64-bit
Graphics Chipset ATI Radeon HD 4650
Catalyst™ Version 10.10
I guess it's time to upgrade to 10.11 but somehow I doubt that's the problem. Should I just reinstall and see if that changes things? Figured I might as well see if this is a known issue first.
Here's the log prior to level load:
