okay, so it's not drivers, i've tried 5 different sets of drivers already, still nothing
when i uninstalled all of my mods, my fps goes up drastically (obviously cuz of 16km view distance in iub, and fubar's high-res skins) but i still get the drop in that one direction. it's just a matter of dropping from 60fps to 40 instead of 30 to 10...
i've also discovered it has something to do with the horizon... 15m/s winds with no fog, and if i put the camera so the horizon is just off screen, either looking at the sky or water always with my ship in view when viewing water, i get 60 fps in that direction again. if i show even the slightest bit of the horizon in that one specific direction, my fps drops by 20. again all other directions are fine from all kinds of angles.
this is turning into a big frustration.
anyone else have any ideas? i'm going to reinstall sh3 now and try again
