Probably would be best to be in port before enabeling this. If it was just a value change inside the dat file youd be ok, but since its changing nodes, in port is the safest way to go. I posted this late last night. It was a case of, forcing myself to do it, otherwise i probably wouldn't do it at all for quite awhile. Plus, i have a new computer coming, and this one will soon be cleaned up and delegated as the wifes gaming rig.
Driver wise, i havent had a problem until i started messing around with getting Crysis to run on this box. Until i installed and started tweaking with crysis, SH4 ran great. Maybe its a direct X codex, or drivers. As i even installed a beta driver that was supposed to give better performance in crysis - against my better judgement
And yes, ive run driver cleaner pro, and even driver clearer platinum. No dice. Not sure what it is anymore. Everthign else seems to run fine, its just SH4, that is utterly unplayable.
