I would also like to know. I have this problem too and I have CTDs so I'm not sure if it matters or not.

Default DirectX

I'm getting pretty good FPS until warships show up and start shooting. Then I get a lot of lag. I'm wondering if my DirectX version may be to blame. I'm running DirectX 9.0c.

SHould I and can I update it to version 11?

Is it dependent on the operating system (Windows XP32) or the video card (GTX 460)

XP can only run DirectX9. DirectX10 and DirectX11 are Vista/Win7 only.

Ok, thanks. That's what I thought but its been a while since I dealt with DirectX so I couldn't remember.

Second question...I'm getting a lot of lag when there are explosions and fire. I've applied the antilag fix, turned off vertical sync and lowered particle effects but I still get stuttering when there are explosions. Are there any other quick fixes that are well known that I'm missing to remedy this? My new GPU should eat these graphics for lunch????

WinXP32
GTX 460

Try turning your shadows slider down in the graphics options. Might also try a lower screen resolution.

so what drivers are you using? 197.xx? does it improve your game perfomance?

I'm using driver 266.XX and this year old game doesn't run as good as brand new games like dragon age 2 and assasins creed 2 or shogun 2 total war...

Im also getting this same problem, CTD's all the time and dont think its my mod order,I have the latest version of nvidia driver installed. i remember when i installed SH5 it said needs driver version 197.??? cant remember which one it asked for so ive looked at archived drivers for nvidia its either driver version 197.13, 197.25, 197.45 or 197.57

Does anyone know which of these ones it was?

Also how do i downgrade from my current driver version to an older one?

Cheers,

What he said; I've got the same prob but on stock V1.2, anyone have an answer for this?

This is my first attempt to play the game and so far it's going nowhere. Not a good start Ubi
