I have SH5 installed (with TWoS) on my laptop with the following specs:

Processor: Intel i7 4700HQ @2.4ghz
Memory installed: 16 GB RAM
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 880M
Integrated graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4600
256 GB SSD
Windows 10 64 bit

I encountered simillar problems as users in this thread. Usually my framerate stayed arround 15, dropping further when graphic demands became high. I tried a few things, including:

* Run the program as Admisistrator;
* Run the program in Windows 7 compatibilty mode;
* Use the Antilag tool.
* Changing the settings in the Nvidia configuration screen

After this my framerate improved to 60 fps and the game is running smoothly. As I did the above things at the same time I did not know which actually fixed the problem. Now after some testing I found that FOR ME (no guarantees) the problem was caused by the wrong setting in the Nvidia configuration screen. It seems the game was using the integrated Intel graphics card instead of the Nvidia card. You can change this in the Nvidia configuration screen:

Open NVIDIA configuration screen --> Control 3D settings --> Program settings --> 1. Select SH5 in the list of games --> 2. Select Nvidia processor as preferred graphics processor for this program --> Apply

I found that the standard selection for the graphics processor is the integrated processor leading to poor performance in game. This worked for me, hope it helps.
