Interesting

My version is the starforce protected - however at present im running the nocd.exe but starforce is still active been to lazy to unistall and reload

Have to laugh cause I was trying to hunt down a no star force version exe to have a go at h.sie coarse...but all there is avaliable is the damn nocd

Steel Square Bear that looks to be a German version? Are they that different :hmmm:

Dont know what green pepper and purple hills is though...

Try this:
Remove SF It removes only f...ing SF drivers.
I hardly recommend to remove these drivers. My experience: when I installed SH3 the first time in March 2005 three DVD drives and one mainboard got damaged within four months. Maybe accidently but i don't think so...

What I found: Antilag works with the SF contaminated sh3.exe
and the cracked one [done by 'Reloaded'] but doesn't work with the official noDVD sh3.exe.

No - AFAIK the english and german files are identic...


h.sie's lesson works only for the official noDVD sh3.exe... ...released by:

Green Pepper and Purple Hills provide a low-priced SH3 without SF protection.

...my wish would be, that the "Antilag" MOD is working with the RezFix...(both uses a different .dll File)...:hmmm::cry:

Best regards,

Havnt encountered that problem, I originally had SH3 on a XP OS but upgraded the comp and got stuck with with vista pro.
Have used that remove tool on this vista installation and attempted to manually get around SF a few times.
Even scouring the reg its hard to get rid of it.
Would have to be a clean install and it will be sweet,
Just havnt got around to it

Thats interesting, looks have to do some homework on hex editing
sounds like the stock SF exe is a mission so mmm...
Think I know what im a going to attempt....:03:

With out the anti lag .dll the game loses its crispness on some mods for me
so im going to have to figure a work around to get both things to mix...
this should be interesting...

Indeed I see where h.sie is going...

Ok cool thanks for the heads up Steelsquare bear!

.

Just out of curiosty/clarification does the antilag.dll work if you replace the rez fix .dll?
Suppose it kills off the rez fix eh?
Or ctd etc..

Or you have and tried and just to different mate?

I used a rez fix solutuion 3 years ago or so one that was mounted in some windows type programme and IIRC it was keygety

Which rez fix are you running?

.

It's possible to manually get rid of SF:

Step 1:

Go into registry and delete following keys [maybe for the first three keys you have to change user rights before deletion -> right click]:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SFD RV01

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SFH LP02

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SFS YNC02


HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sfdrv01

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sfhlp02

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sfsync02


HKCU\Software\Ubisoft
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Do a reboot

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2:


Delete the following driver files in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\:

sfdrv01.sys

sfhlp02.sys

sfsync02.sys

optionally - depending of the update state of StarForce:

sfdrv01a.sys
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't swap step 1 and 2 otherwise Windows won't boot anymore...!!!

That's it.

This "patch" works with a SH3 modified by 4GbPatch? I obtain excellent results with the 4GBPatch...:hmmm:

Many thanks!

Hi !

I use the "DX9HiResFix" to set the Resolution to 1280 x 1024 !

And the ResFix comes with own d3d9.cfg and d3d9.dll Files for use with the ResFix MOD !

I mean this MOD: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1092

You can download you and look into it....!

It only works either the one or the other MOD, both do not go together!

Best regards,
Magic

Mr SteelSquareBear thankyou for that information!
Im going to attempt the nocd hex edit to get around
your first post problem

:salute:

Magic 111 yes Im familiar with that rez fix but dont use it,
as it lags my rig in FPS

Catch 22 mate! If I figure a fix/work around ill post it here...

:up:

Just make sure that you have not already loaded the original dll (ie: running another game, etc..) else the windose possibly will not load the modded dll, resulting in no change!

...but the Catalyst of ATI load the dll? It is inevitable, I think...

[QUOTE=fitzcarraldo;1490608]...but the Catalyst of ATI load the dll? It is inevitable, I think...


I'm running an ATI X4 975 and first didn't find any settings in the Catalyst to fix this lag problem. My ATI seems to be too quick so my FPS were jumping up and down causing this lag problem.
This antilag mod "d3d_antilag101" is limiting the pre-rendered frames and thus eliminating the problem.

Make sure you paste both files: antilag.cfg and d3d9.dll in the same folder as your SH5.exe (default is C\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5)

I currently set my antilag.cfg like this:
RenderAheadLimit=2
FPSlimit=35
(Open with Notepad - make your changes - save)


And for the Catalyst: in the Catalyst tab "Smart profiles" I've added a release link to UbisoftGameLauncher.exe. This enables the profile when this UbisoftGameLauncher.exe is launched.

You can even create a completely new profile for SH-5 only.
Just Copy one of the existing profiles, name it (i.e. SH-5) and make your settings in this new profile.
Don't forget to put the "UbisoftGameLauncher.exe" into the "release list" (Smart Profiles tab)

Works perfectly for me - try it. Should do the trick.
Runs smooothly. :03:

[QUOTE=Silent Steel;1528769]Many thanks! I´ll try it now.

Best regards.

Maik

Is there a version of this dll including HiRes Fix? I have HiRes Fix with WideScreen MaGUI, I use 1360x768 resolution (SH3 looks great), but this DLL overwrites the needed DLL for that...:damn: I lost the HiRes Fix...

Many thanks and best regards!

well , same goes here. recently i bought a new i5 2500K system and installed SH 5. i had the same issue with you my new system seems too fast for the game and fps are jumping up and down causing lag.

i dont know what this small thing does but i am using it on SH 5 and i set antilag.cfg like this:
RenderAheadLimit=2
FPSlimit=45

and now its running perfect without a single lag. i recommend this small thing to everyone who have a new system or having issues like me.

I'm trying to use antilag with SH3+GWX3.0 but it keeps making the game error out and I get the message " silent hunter III has stopped working " anybody have an idea how to fix this.

It also crashes with SH 5 while time lapsing with 1024x+ :(

Same for me, widescreen and this don't play nice
