Sobers, m8 you must've read my mind. I was getting some slow downs lately. Tnanks!:woot:

Yeah but does it work ?

Yes. In the conning tower the sea was slowing down and now the FPS has improved somehow.

Haha..the difference a ; can make to a file huh?

Imagine that.:up:

Thanks
 

One small touch for man

One giant step for the community.

Thank you, sir.

A warning about ATI drivers, I bought a ASUS EAH5870 Ver.2 specifically to play SH5, I installed the original driver that was into the CD included within this video card box, the result was a steady 60FPS everywhere and with all 3D video settings at max resolution, later I downloaded/updated the newer drivers (10-5, 10-6, 10-7, 10-8 etc etc ) , and I noticed there was a progressive drop in FPS with every new driver version , when I updated the 10-8 version the FPS drop to just 3FPS ( yes just three FPS :damn: ) , I sort out this problem installing again the original driver included with in the CD , and the FPS went again to a steady 60FPS everywhere . The conclusion is ,the drivers can affect the FPS performance and therefore I will NEVER again update any ATI driver

I just downloaded the latest official asus display driver ati8751_Win7Vista64 27\09\2010

May be the reason is because I still have Windows XP, and probably the ATI drivers work better with Windows seven

Hi there, do you think the ASUS display drivers are somehow different from the ATI drivers ? , thank you for the answer

That's why I use NVidia.:D

Worked for me Sober, thank you matey :up:

Yes the "difference" is that game won`t recognize it so it won`t load it at startup at all and you lose that gc effect ingame but fps will improve a bit (I didn`t see any improvement since my machine can handle it pretty well).
It`s same as if it was deleted/renamed to anything else.

Interesting, i have an ati card and works better with old drivers.

What is your original cd version ?
