Still no hope of improving framerate?

[ERPP8]

I've been playing in 1300x786 for a while and I would love to turn up some graphics options but the framerate is barely ok now.



HELP!!:wah::wah::wah::wah:

Anyone?

Well there are others who report better FPS after the patch, but this is IMO very system dependent.
You for instance may have too many things/tasks running in the background which can interfere and or slow it down. You could also have adware, spyware or such that will also affect a program's performance.

Well, I have a nVidea card and I was wondering if someone had came up with a fix

Go to your SH5 folder in my documents , the one with youer save game files . Look for the C:\Users\*****\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\GFX settings folder . Add a comment line to whatever you think might help frame rates if not used in game .
EG: WaterQuality=;1
add the ; in front of the number .

That's the same as the in-game options, which I have been tweaking for a good ration but I'm wondering about things like the nVidea control panel options

Put the AA mode into performance .

I find that having Shadows on max is a real FPS killer. I think overall frames are better inside the sub for me.

[PL_Andrev]

Impreved FPS nad graohics effects are visible only for single-core processer users.

The biggest fps killer is VSync. Turn it off already, it did wonders in my case.

What effect does window mode have?
Some have found that setting affinity to a different level helps.
I use AlacrityPC to turn off unneeded processes which helps.
Some have found that using only one processor helps.
I set all enhancements to off and then restarted them one by one. This helped me identify problems.
If window7, you really need 4Gb of RAM
I also use 4Gb of ReadyBooste.
As noted, turning off AA, shadows, and realistic sound travel helps.
If none of this works, play SH3; it is a better game anyway. I suggest SH3GWX with SH3CMDR

Ewww, I couldnt imagine going back to SH3 GWX after this game, would be like trading in my LCD for a CRT.....

My games FPS has improved immensely after 1.2. Mind you I know how to manage a PC, keep the background apps to a minimum and leave AA off and shadows at half...

Are ya'll serious!? You don't even get that much FPS at all? I have a 9800 GT just because I needed to take a small step up before I get a job this summer and buy the computer of my dreams.. but I still get 40 FPS on almost everything maxed out, no joke. Of course, I overclocked just a bit but not too much. Not even to equal a nVida 2 series graphics card. I don't know whats wrong with all yours. :cry:

Which do you prefer?
Gameplay or framerate

[THE_MASK]

Go into game files C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Env\sea paramaters and change theSeaSpeed to SeaSpeed=0.100000 on all 4 SeaSpeeds . See if you get a better frame rate .

Both actually, they are all equally important.

[ERPP8]

All this worked, but it's not as much as I prefer

My framerates were not all that good, too, but then I realised that I had my graphics settings on custom. I changed them to medium and framerates improved considerably. It might not work for you, but try it. You can experiment with adjustments afterwards. :yep:
