SH5 patched to 1.2 runs like crap. WTH?

[conus00]

After I saw TDW's new interface and SteelViking's mods (including rework of my graphic mod) I was willing to give SH5 another shot.

I uninstalled all the mods and updated to 1.2. After launching the game I noticed that it runs extremely choppy (to the point of being unplayable). WTH?

I could run vanilla in 1920x1080 with maxed out details just fine and when I turned shadows off it was (almost) perfectly smooth. That being said, now, even in 1680x1050 the game looks like watching slides.

Isn't a patch supposed to actually IMPROVE a game?

Ubi, you definitely screwed pooch on this one! This was the last straw and I am officially DONE with SH5.

What a POS software. :nope:

Conus I will pass on to you the help I got from SteelViking.The shadow mod can cause a lot of problems.I got rid of the shadow mod,and SH V now runs fine.SteelViking has a less demanding shadow mod that helps,but I elected not to run a shadow mod period.I also run shadows in the graphic setup at 50%.I hope this helps you.

he probably also needs to install that DirectX patch that prevents the game from drawing so many frames ahead.

Try running antilag: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1458455&postcount=2

Yes, the d3d9 antilag fix works very well. I have tried it myself, and what little bit of periodic stuttering I had is completely gone. And, I have heard many others report positively about it.

You should really give SH5 one more shot Conus00.:yep:

The 'mouse lag' that was so often mentioned was completely gone after trying this awhile back. Works very well for me. :)

[pocatellodave]

Think I will add the anti lag as well.I get just a wee bit now and then.

I downloaded the anti-lag ddl and have to say that it improved the game's "choppines" a bit and I started getting my hopes up...
Until I tried to save.
CTD on save.

I've had it, screw SH5. Maybe I will dust off the DVD year or two from now when/if there is GWX5 (or it's equivalent) out but until then the SH5 can kiss my left nut!

I am sorry to hear(read) that. It would have been good to have you back on the SH5 modding scene.

I had all kinds of mouse-view stuttering on the bridge (interior was fine) until I found this little gem.

The only time the game has crashed on me is from radio event errors, which are my own doing :88)
