Attack Animation / Turning / Feinting lag

(1/1)

Evanovic:
I have had a problem for a while where quite frequently my animations in blocking and stabbing have 'held' or 'stunned' for an abnormal amount of time. This is also coupled with sluggish turning despite having a high sensitivity, and furthermore often my 'feints' (stab - block - stab) sometimes stop randomly in the middle of the action and I'm left suspended for a second or so not being able to do anything. In native with some weapons it's so bad that it won't let me feint at all with them, no matter how early I cancel the attack.
 
This problem has occured on 3 PCs of mine: 2 were laptops, 1 is a high end desktop. The problem persists until I delete a certain process called 'Task Scheduler Engine' on Task manager. When I delete this the game is immediately faster, more responsive and with far less animation problems. However, I cannot always find this process in task manager despite the fact that I know it's running, it only pops up arbitrarily in there.
 
I've been wondering if anyone else has had similar problems or if someone can explain to me what's going on with Task Schedular Engine on my PCs?
 
Over the last few months I've been trying to work out what's going on and have narrowed it down to that process. I know it's not the CPU, not the GPU, not my internet (it happens on all servers, my ping however is low and stable and I have 0% packet loss from servers I've checked), and I make sure almost no other programs are running whilst I play warband and have tested on lowest graphics levels and on both direct X 7 and 9. I guess there are some tasks that are conflicting with Warband in Windows?

Tristan:
Same problem here.  :-\

Nipplestockings:
I believe there are handy tools that can completely block a process from starting up, so you could try using one of those. I get that problem a lot too, though.
