SH5 and Windows 10 Issues

04-17-18, 09:46 PM

I just can't seem to get this to run on my computer. For reference, I am running TWoS, w/ the only optional mod being the campaign checker. I run the program as administrator, I have it set to Windows 7 compatibility, but still it chugs at like a 20 frames a second max as soon as there are 1 or 2 other ships on screen. The dpi thing however, is different for me than I usually see it written. Mine says "Override high dpi scaling behavior. "ehavior performed by: and then it lets me choose between 'application,' 'system,' and 'system (enhanced)'." I have tried all 3, and even then it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any other options I can try? I really want to play this game, but it is impossible at these frame rates.

I had missed this actually. I have an Nvidia GPU, but don't have the options listed in the Nvidia Control Panel for that post. I have the options under "3D Settings," but the "Display" header is not even listed, let alone its sub-options. I'm on a laptop if that is relevant.

Further updates. I reinstalled the game, and it runs fine in vanilla. So the conflict is with TWoS I think. I've followed the instructions very carefully, several times at this point, so I don't think installation error is to blame. The only thing I could think that might be messing it up is when I got to turn off read-only on my Silent Hunter 5 folder and apply it goes through the process of changing all the sub-files, but when I open up properties again the read-only button is still filled.

I think I figured it out! My laptop has both an integrated graphics card and a real one. The game was being run through the integrated card, but when I switched to the real one it seems like it runs fine even with TWoS. I'm sure I will come crawling back if this ends up being a temporary fix, but thanks for the help so far!
