nHancer
 

NHancer works great on Silent Hunter IV but am having an issue in that the mouse works erratically and the response time when clicking on the event item reacts too slowly. Loaded Silent Hunter III with nHancer working and it is just superb! Any fixes to the slow down on my system? Could there be a nHancer setting that I am missing? It would be great if SHIV would work just like SHIII. Many thanks!:damn:

Hey guys do you think my computer might be able to run sh4? Here are some descriptions of my pc.

Motherboard: AMD 64 Live Dual Core (2,6Ghz)
Memory Ram= 2x1056 Ram
Sound driver with Realtek Codec (7.1)
Well i can say about my pc , is a HP 5200+.
So does any of you has ever tried to test it on a similar computer?
I have also tried at can you run it but since it is not very accurate i cannot know whether it is true or wrong about the test.

Hello everyone,
I'm new here but i've been watching this forum for longer time now.
I have a GeForce 8800 GT which suceeded my old ATI X1950. Now I have all the eyecandy of ROW, except one issue: The smoke of the ships seems too thin, although I have followed this tweak guide. I'm running SH IV all maxed out, Vsync ingame off with newest nHancer and the optimised nHancer settings from the first post.

Does someone know how to fix it ?

Your picture is difficult to read. In JSGME there is a tool to export your mod list to a text file. It's easier to do that and paste the list into your post.

Anyone can help ? Maybe this is the wrong thread ?

There is a smoke mod that you need to search for in the Mods forum. I recommend it. I think that they are going to come out with a second version that varies the thickness of the smoke, depending on the age of the ship and whether it's a merchant or a warship.

I found it, but AFAIK it's incompatible with PE2/ROW because it overwrites a file.

That's okay. You want it to overwrite that file. I've used the smoke mod with the weather mods and nothing crashed.

Ok, thx. I'll check it out.

I have the same issue with cursor and mouse
 

I have the same problem. This lagging makes game hard to handle. Does somebody have a clue what causes this and possibly a solution?

Thanks mates!:cool:

I've been having similar problems with 8800gts320 and Vista. Every torpedo impact puts my graphics card to its top limits and even makes an occasional ctd. I have, however, been running SH4 under Vista since I bought it and the problems started only two days ago, when installed u-boat addon, latest TMO, PE and RSRD.

Rivatuner

If you have an nVidia card, you may be interested in the Rivatuner application. I've been tweaking my 7600GS 256M AGP card and so far have gained about 15-20 fps over the stock game settings.

WARNING: THIS PROGRAM WILL ALLOW YOU TO DO SOME VERY LOW-LEVEL TWEAKS AND COULD RUIN YOUR VIDEO CARD! BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! RTFM!

I leave all my stock nVidia Control Panel settings alone and use just the Rivatuner to overclock and tweak my video card ONLY for SH4. That is to say, I created a game profile and use the Rivatuner launcher to start SH4. When SH4 is closed, my video settings return to their "normal" WinXP values. This prevents my video card from running in an overclocked and tweaked mode during normal desktop operation.

Have your read my earlier post in this thread for the possible solution to your problem? I also had no probs with VISTA and SH4 1.4, but the CTD's began occurring with 1.5. Drivers 174.93 solved my problems.

Yes, I read it and I have been thinking whether I download that driver yet or not. I'm a little suspicious to BETA releases and I usually wait for the release version. But maybe I could give it a try, thanks for your help.

Hi DeepIron.

I am experimenting a bit with the Rivatuner you mentioned. I have no experience with overclocking though. I have a NVidea 7100 GS card with a standard core clock of 350 MHz/max 525 MHz, and memory clock of 500 MHz/max 750 MHz.

2 questions:
- How far can I increase the clock speeds 'safely' before they become critical?
- Which of the two has most (positive) impact on the FPS rate; or do I have to overclock both?

Thanks:ping:
