I have a problem with the white flares. When they are launched cause terrible lag.

This is a commonly reported flaw. I think you can disable those flares by changing this line:

LinkName=5InchStarShellGun

with this one:

LinkName=NULL

in each of the *.eqp files of FX updates.

Probably there is a faster way to do it, but it doesn't come to my mind right now :88)

Thank you for your quick reply. I did that but still the flares appears. I don't know what to do because they are very annoying. Too much lag on a powerful videocard. I understand that is an ati problem but it must be a solution.

Have you done it for all the units in game?

only for the ships in the fx update mod

path silent hunter 5/mods/fx update/data/sea/
there i found those ships and i removed 5InchStarShellGun

:hmmm:

Can you confirm that you followed the below steps:

1. disabled Fx Updates;
2. made the suggested changes in all on the eqp files contained in MODS\FX_Update_0_0_19_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Sea subfolders;
3. saved the changes and reenabled Fx Updates (using JSGME), before running the game again

Yes i did it and still not working. Those flares are bad luck for me.:nope:

Okay, try this then: :up:

It's for red flares only..
I have the same problem.. but I have almost "dead" video card (not so powerful) and I'm already used to it..

mmm... the last idea that comes to my mind is that the white flares are from stock settings: some guns in guns_radars_01.sim are equipped with starshells. :yep:

If you want I can disable them, or I can explain you how to do it :)

Thanks.. I know how to disable them..
the game without flares will not be so bright.. stutter/freeze lasts only 5-10 seconds after the shot and it's OK..
