Stuttering Running Animation (Only Certain Infantry Units)

Has anyone else noticed that there are a few units of infantry (such as Romani spearmen of all types, triari, principes, etc.) that stutter when running? The animation looks as though there is a missing frame. I can post a video if necessary. Unfortunately I have no background with animation, so I can't fix it. All other infantry unit animations are fine, and the issue is not present in the walking animation, just running.

It's not an issue with the animations, that much is for certain. The triarii (for example) have the same animation set as all the other hoplite units in the mod. If there is a bug somewhere, it would have to be with the model rigging.

I can't say I've noticed the issue you're referring to, but then again I haven't played a game as the Romans yet.

Here is a video showing the jittery animation.

Also, I believe that hoplites are affected. From the video description:

The purpose of this video is to highlight an issue with stuttering, jitter-like movement of a handful of EBII units when either walking, running, or both. The problem can be defined as AA (bug free), AB (normal walking but bugged running), BA (bugged walking but normal running), and BB (both walking and running are bugged).

Any ideas?

I see this thread kinda lost attention, but I was wondering if any of you ever found a way to fix this? I am experiencing the same unit stuttering and have not found anywhere else on the web where this is addressed. I am using EB 2.2B with the 2.2C AI enhancement and the graphics mod. Any help would be appreciated, although it isn't the biggest deal, it still gets somewhat annoying. Thanks!

I've no idea, but I don't think the graphical enhancement is necessary any more, and there are broken scripts in 2.2c-AI. I'd recommend getting 2.2d2.

If the move_speed_mod is modified too much in the EDU that is one of the symptoms.

Is the move_speed_mod an entirely seperate mod for EB2? I am unfamiliar with this. Will also try the new AI mod. Thank!

It's an entry in the EDU, not a separate mod. It's the speed "setting" for a unit.

2.2d2 isn't just AI, it's a gameplay patch covering loads more besides (but also including the updated AI).

Awesome, will install 2.2d2 tonight and make sure I haven't tweaked the EDU.
