View Full Version : Low FPS on all my recent saves - and a request

I've got a problem where my FPS drops from the high 60s to 7 and a bit, with no clear cause that I can make out. Oh, and the camera runs out of sectors and gives me a Blue Screen of Drowning whenever I try to go external. This includes the external deathcam, and as a special favour it leaves behind its misty blue sheen which then coats the main menu - looking quite nice in the process - until I quit the game.

I've tried removing all mods, reverting the SH5.exe back to stock, loading, saving without mods, loading modless save with mods, loading modded save without mods but with patched .exe in every possible combination until it felt like :/\\!!. It hasn't worked - this leads me to suspect the problem isn't with a mod or the exe per se, but some crazy data in all the recent savegames.

Ho humble. The point is, if I knew where to look I could somehow transfer the data to another machine running SH5, if only I there was some sort of communication network that would allow me to do so. Well, whaddya know. Any captains out there prepared to help a friend in need?

Is my masterplan even possible? Or are my saves locked to my particular hardware/udontplay account/DNA swab? If the laws of physics don't stand in the way, I'll zip them and pop the file in my dropbox. Then hopefully, you'll be able to load it and tell me if you get the same trouble.

Oh, nearly forgot - here's the current soup recipe - but bear in mind that the problem stays even when I unload all mods and load the game.

\Documents\SH5 is the folder you will want to copy to another computer to try your test

Uninstall the mods and then move the MODS folder with the mods in it to a safe place .
Uninstall SH5 including the saves .
Uninstall the ubi launcher .
Delete any residual files in SH5 game folder .
Delete any residual files in ubi launcher folder .

Many thanks sober. Doing that cut my savegame size from ~7MB to ~650KB. So something must have gone right :)

A save game from a single mission may be small, but a campaign save game can be 12mb
