They updated EE to fix an issue where enemies were getting stuck on terrain, but in the process they also made the players movement jerky and stuttery. They are "working on it" but they have been saying that for years with no patch in sight. I don't expect this to ever be fixed.
The only fix is to downgrade to the previous version.

I see, thanks. But according that page, if I use the latest GOG version of SS1, which is version 1.2.16, and use the fix to lock the framerate to 30 , as detailed in:

you can lock the game engine to 30 FPS by setting
seta cl_engineFPS 30
in %APPDATA%\Nightdive Studios\System Shock EE\kexengine.cfg"
then this bug will not occur, and I will also have the advanatge of whatever bug-fixes are in the latest version of SS1?
Regarding this long time bug that Night Dive Studios haven't gotten around to fixing, I really don't understand NDS. They have done some fantastic things for us gamers, such as making System Shock 1 and 2 purchasable again, bringing some great games to modern gamers and consoles, releasing the source code for System Shock 1, and allowing Josiah Jack to continue with his System Shock 1
Citadel remake (which is rather amazing, most companies would have said no), and so on.
But then NDS do so much to harm the goodwill that they have inspired with their customers. Their customer communications range from bad to non-existent (to be fair, maybe they do communicate satisfactorily to some customers, but if so, then I've never heard of it, and I personally have given up expecting an answer from them), their seeming refusal to fix long term bugs in their games that fans have paid money for, the way that NDS seem unable or unwilling to announce their plans or releases properly (for example, we STILL don't know when their Sin re-release/remaster is due out, or when the console versions of System Shock Remake are due out), and so on.
Night Dive Studios have a great niche in the market, bringing old but great games to modern audiences, which I think is brilliant, since there are many still fantastic old games that aren't available on modern hardware (or in some cases, not easily available), and given how jaded I am with the modern gaming industry, NDS would be my favourite current video gaming company, at least if they bothered to answer e-mails and fix their games bugs.
