Ok thanks, hadn't come across that mod, I've just installed it so I'll check it out and see what my framerate is using that.

In the catalyst control centre use Multi sample AA for the AA mode . Filter mode is box .
Ok. I use ATI tray tools though.

use antilag http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2871
do not use the mod enebler to enable the antilag . Instead place the 2 extracted files
in your main Sh5 game folder .
OK I tried that again just now and the game just crashes while running the opening movie (I get to see the poster of the woman on the wall and that's it.). I changed the value in the .cfg to 60 for the max frames. Quite odd as the other day it did work but I saw no improvement or at least nothing worthwhile.


OK I came across that thread whilst searching for fixes, I'll have a further read of that though, but it does seem an awful lot to read and do, and I can't see anything that would improve fps dramatically, your list of mods also greatly changes the game (from what I understand of the mods listed) and I quite like the game as it is, I certainly don't wish to start a new campaign as I've only just completed Blockade on Germany and British Coastal Waters had a hell of a problem locating an aircraft carrier and 5 AMC ships, so I'd rather not go through that again.

But I will look at some of the mods you suggest that don't alter the look of the UI or gameplay, dramatically, for example I already have the accurate flags mod.



EDIT - Using that shadows mod and setting the AA in CCC as suggested (or ATI tray tools as I have) seems to have worked, I'm now getting 30-40 fps when docked and on the dock or on the conning tower of the U boat prior to leaving for a mission and out at sea/using periscopes I'm getting 60+ fps, walking around inside the boat seems to be better also.

Many thanks for the advice.
