Hi, I've bought emperor on GOG today and have this strange issue with stuttering

I had CD version previously and there was no stuttering, or at least nothing like what i'm experiencing with this but it didn't work well with widescreen fix.

I managed to set the CD version to my screen resolution but icon tooltips and other things were mixed up also cursor pointing slightly to the side of where it really was but it was in the same resolution as i am now trying with GOG version.

The stuttering happens randomly, encountered it in the first tutorial mission and it seems sound is stuttering a bit all the time, and almost always before some notification popups there is this big stutter/freeze for like 2-3 or more seconds .

I am not realy sure what might be causing this as i Tried compatibility modes, turnning movie off in emperor.ini, trying to shut off sound ingame, nothing.

I have Win 10 Pro 64-bit, Nvidia GeForce 1060 3gb, 16 Gb RAM, AMD FX8350

Game is installed on the same drive as CD version was.

Disable Overlays or close these programs:
- GeForce Experience (Shadowplay, Share)
- AfterBurner
- RivaTuner
- Steam? (Steam overlay doesn't seem to interfere)
- other
Shadowplay, known as Share, must be disabled in the GeForce Experience Settings Panel.
Closing the process in Task Manager will not disable Shadowplay!

Looping audio problem
When you have more than 2 speakers (2.1 or 5.1 or 7.1 sound)
Also, modern sound cards can work in surround sound emulation mode.
Older games don't know what surround sound is.
Download "Version 0.12", unpack and move to the folder with the Game.
www.indirectsound.com/downloads.html
(or "Version 0.14" where EAX=off by default)
This dsound.dll replaces the native one from DirectX, like a wrapper, reconciles the old with the new.
