Hello all,

last night I completed the Naval Academy and became operational! I'm hoping to go on patrol later today.

I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me so far. I'm sure I'll need more help soon!! LOL

The game's great and very addictive; time flies by (where did Wednesday night go??). It seems to be running between 30 and 50 FPS, mostly 30, so I wish I could get it going a bit faster; I guess I'll need to play with the textures and particles.

Thanks again everyone; good hunting, Gavin.

Fair winds and calm seas

Welcome to Subsim Nerazzurri.

Anything above 23 FPS is good/faster than the human eye can register.

Some gfx cards and monitors actually run better/higher FPS if they are syncronized.

You may be seeing graphic tearing instead of stuttering. Try enabling the syncronizing option with the in-game options. At the very least it will virtually wipe out graphic tearing.

Kpt. Lehmann,

will do with the synch. I hadn't considered adjusting that, as most threads on the subject here are of the opinion that it should be turned off. I'll give it a try later. Thanks.

Problem is, most games don't slow down with low FPS, they drop frames to compensate. Those dropped frames are perceivable as jerkiness. Edit: In fact more often than not frame rate is tied directly to gameplay speed. Since the card is generating what you see on the fly rather than just playing it as in a film, the game only runs as fast as the frames are drawn. Depends totally on the way the game was designed though and what frame rate it was meant to run at.

Bonjour nerazzurri. If lowering graphics settings didn't affect your FPS then your graphics adapter is probably adequate and you need to look at your CPU or RAM.

Yes, I noticed this recently too...my rig runs better when the synchronized option is checked...I get a constant 60 FPS, unless near port/land.

I get some wierd stuttering effect without it checked...even at 60fps.

Congratulations! Now get out there and don't get sunk!

I just started my first career too! After 10 days I've competed 12 patrols... how time flies. Quick tip, if attackign merchants in English waters, prepare for TONS of airplanes to come down on top of you real soon.

About FPS. I have a GeForce 7600GT. Can I override the games graphics settings with the Nvidia control pannel?

If you go to the NVidia control panel and then the 3D controls you should find a list of games which each have their own settings already programmed, so that when you launch a game the card automatically runs what it thinks is the preferred settings.

This seems to work OK for me with SH3. If it's not so good for you, you could try setting the 'standard one size fits all' 3D control to 'performance' rather than 'quality' and take it from there.

Hope that helps you a bit. If not, let me know and I'll try to help.

Regards, Gavin.

P.S. 12 missions in 10 days?!?!?!?!? LOL
