Hi,

I discovered this fix when trying to sort out my keyboard and mouse inputs issue.

Problem:
The opening splash scenes and cutscenes were jittery and had intermittent sound - the sound cut off for a second, or so, every couple of seconds. Also, in-game, the animations and transitions (e.g. between concourse and players cabin) were jittery.

Solution (for me, at least):
Run alliance.exe as administrator.
To do that:
  • Navigate to your XWA folder
  • Right mouse click on alliance.exe
  • Chose Properties from the menu
  • Select the Compatibility tab
  • Make sure the tickbox/checkbox next to Run this program as an administrator is ticked/checked
