Issues with my framerate and time compression.
 

I have been playing SH4 with TMO and the intercontinental radio mod for some time now and never seemed to have any real dramatic performance problems.

I am on my 6th patrol with my new Balao class and all of the sudden I cannot use time compression at all without significant frame rate issues.

This may have to do with sinking multiple targets and saving so I can finish the patrol later (I have to work sometime!) but I cannot understand why it is happening all of the sudden.

I do not have any extra programs running and I know my computer can handle the game, I just wonder what the reason is so I can avoid it in the future.

Any ideas?

Sometimes a good ole' fashion re-boot will fix problems like unexplained, sudden framerate drops in games.

That was one of the first things I tried, it did not seem to help at all.

The odd thing is that when this happened before, I was able to return to port and start a new mission with no sign of problems.

Not sure why.

What version of TMO are you running, and have you been sailing near Truk?

I am using the latest version of TMO and yes, I have been sailing near truk.

is that a known bug?

In TMO 2.0, there's a problem with Truk. It was fixed in 2.1, so make sure you're running that version.

I downloaded the patch and will apply it and test it out when I get home from work tonight.

I don't suspect I will be able to install this mid-patrol will I...

looks like a long ride back to Pearl for me.

thank you so much for all the help.

I'd suggest starting a new campaign after the update. I'm not sure how much it changes.

I remember making that long trek from Truk. It's a pain.

but I was going so well...had lots of tonnage to my name and a few medals on my jacket.

Sometimes mods are cruel mistresses.

I know that feeling all too well. I've never made it to the end of the war yet.
