Oddly enough, I had just re-surfaced from testing antilag when I saw this post. It may help, but it is difficult to tell.
I should provide some details about my pc - apologies for not doing so sooner. I am running SH5 on an i5 with 8 gb of RAM and an intel HD 4000. To be honest, I was surprised that the game loaded at all, so my expectations are not terribly high. I have managed to get a stable 30-40 fps by setting all of the graphics options to low, disabling all of the graphics options check boxes, and scaling the resolution down to 1280x720. This makes the game playable, and it still looks quite nice..it's just the TAI map that kills the frame rate.
Antilag may give me an extra frame or 2 here and there, more thorough testing is required, but the TAI map definitely cuts the frame rate down to 15-20 whenever it is on screen. It is for this reason that I am looking for an easy way to disable it. I have loaded the new ui mod, and I like the way the map is handled in that UI, but as I have previously mentioned I am not currently able to run that mod on my machine. If there is a similar way to deal with the TAI map in stock I would love to here it, otherwise I am starting to learn to deal with it by just pressing shift+tab everytime it appears on the screen.
Thanks again for all of the help,
SMH
