SH5 becoming unplayable

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-02-10, 04:37 PM

The lag is killing this sim. I had no problems before adding mods (not that I'm negative towards them). Is there a way to tweak my video or in-game settings to get a smoother gameplay?

try D3D antilag from Kegetys

I was just about to recommend the Kegetys fix(everyone I know who has tried it says it works like a charm), but Seeadler already beat me too it

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-02-10, 05:36 PM

Yeah, tried it and it helped a lot. Thanks, m8s!

Oh, I have been meaning to ask someone about this(and I am pretty sure that I saw my shadow mod in your list of installed mods the other day). Does this fix work with my Shadow Mod installed? If it does, I will put a link to the fix on the thread for the shadow mod.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-02-10, 09:37 PM

I used the lower version. What fix is that?

SteelViking · 08-03-10, 09:36 AM

I was referring to using the Kegetys fix at the same time as using my shadow mod.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-03-10, 03:29 PM

I'll load up the high-res shadow mod and see.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing how it does.

Sorry to report that the high-res shadow mod took a hit at the framerate. I had resort to the lower-res mod.

Darn, well at least the low-res version is working for you. After I get my interior mod released, I am planning on taking another look at the shadow mod. I am convinced that there is a better setup that would give us the high quality shadows while still keeping the resource usage low.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-03-10, 06:59 PM

I'm looking forward to it.

I loaded up the Hi-Res version of the SM a few days ago, and it's like night and day. I used to run shadows at med quality and it looked like arse. The shadow mod allows full on shadows with no hit in performance... Good Job

Can the D3D antilag from Kegetys be used in SH IV also?
Thanks
