I noticed something wrong that you are doing, you are not supposed to be putting the script inside a shortcut, you are supposed to use the batch script, put a shortcut of the batch script on your desktop, dont put the script inside the shortcut target, that will not work.

I will explain it again:

1: Download my script.
2: Put the script in the sh5 folder.
3: Edit the path inside the script to your own path
4: Drag a shortcut of that script to your desktop
5: Dont touch the shortcut, dont edit it, dont even smell on it :)
6: Right click the shortcut and "run as administrator"
OPTIONAL: 7: If you already use an admin account you can skip step 6 and just run it normally

When you say "edit the path inside the script" in step 3...how do I do that? The only thing I can think of is right click and "edit" to bring up the notepad file.

Also, when I right click the shortcut I don't see "run as administrator" as an option. I have Windows XP 32.

You got it right. Edit it with notepad and change the driveletter and path to your own path. Thats it. Its very easy.

if you dont have "run as administrator" you should log onto an admin account and just run it normally from there. There are other ways to run processes as administrator such as RUNAS but that is sort of beyond the scope of this small script that I presented here, you can however look into it yourself.

When I made this script I assumed people would know how to run it as administrator, I can't do a full windows tutorial if you know what I mean :haha: :know: I am not that good with the different windows versions.

Ok. Thanks. I've had a bit too much wine and been staring at these forums a bit too long tonight. Going to revisit this problem tomorrow and hopefully it will be more clear. I appreciate your efforts. :up:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "runrealtime" /realtime "E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe"

You already have the right path here.

Edit the batch file and paste it, and you're set.

Well, I'm not sure what the problem is. I put the script you recommended above in my batch file (by editing notepad), made a shortcut of that file to the desktop but the game refuses to start in realtime. I don't think it's the administrator thing because I can alt-tab out, change it to realtime in task manager and it works. I can't for the life of me figure this one out.

Thanks for all your help though. I may look around on the internet for other ways to do this. In the meantime, I'll just keep alt-tabbing out to change the priority to realtime because it makes such a huge difference in the explosion and water spray graphics.

The links seem to be broken.

Dose anyone have the files and are willing to share?


Or the running SH5 in High Priority not needed?
I'm experiencing Mouse Courser Lag.

your link doesnt work ... can u give anther one ?

Script link
 

I can make one to you :).

I'd highly suggest NOT doing this guys - setting SH5 to realtime priority (or any other program, for that matter) is not recommended. For several explanations why, go here:

If you're having graphics stutter, get the D3D Antilag mod :up:

I agree. Use at your own risk. Mod: It can make your system instable if you run third party softwares in real time depends on what softwares you already run in memory and your system specs. Even can cause BSOD. You drain resources from your system.

Put it in your Silent Hunter 5 directory. Change your start exe to this batch file in your Desktop icon.
