SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - What gives with the time compression stutter? (And a couple other things)

Hey folks,

Well, I am new to the forum, and I have done my best to find out if this issue has been addressed already. Since I am coming up dry, I decided to start this thread in hopes of finding an answer. I recently bought SH4 (along with SH1 and SH3) after playing some SH2. I was a big Silent Service fan, and I have a personal love for the Pacific Theatre. Probably why I do the real thing for my day job. Anyway, my one big issue so far with the game (other than the ridiculous medals) is the time compression. It works great at first, but, as I sink more ships in the game, the time compression starts to "stutter" over 2048X. In fact, it has gotten so bad that I end up running at most 512X. I have noticed it gets really bad if I sink several ships close together and in shallow water (i.e. harbors).

I am running NSM4 light to help, but the stutter is still there. I am running the following mods using JSGME from top to bottom: RSRD Sound MOD.SPAX, Webster's Better Air Patrols for v1.4 and v1.5, Map Colour Scheme 1, NSM4 Light. Occasionally, I will run Webster's Improved Torpedo Power and Upgraded Deck Gun also. My SH4 version is 1.4.

My rig runs a Intel Quad Core Q6700 2.67GHz with 4 GB RAM and Vista 64 bit Home Premium. My vid card is the nVidia 8600GT.

Anybody know what I can do to remedy this?

One last question...anyone have any idea why I only get Navy Crosses after each partrol no matter how much I sink? When I first started playing SH4, I could get a CMOH with my eyes shut. After moding a little, all I seem to get is the Navy Cross. Weird.

Sorry to be long, but I wanted to answer all the questions I see others get when they ask a question. Good day gents!
