Periscope tracking and CPU

MarkShot · 04-26-07, 10:00 PM

Just thought I would post this in case it is of use to anyone else:

I just got a fast new machine and installed SH3/SH4. (QX6700 OC'd to 3.2GHz)

The game has been playing fine. However, I just stumbled on something useful. Periscope (mouse tracking) is proportional to the FPS/CPU. So, on my new system it is hard to move the scope smoothly and gradually (even with the CTRL key).

Having discovered this. I set up MoSlo (process/CPU slowdown utility) to reduce the CPU to SH3 to 20%. I can do this via a hot key toggle whenever using the scope. This takes my FPS down from 200-300 FPS to 30-50 FPS; making the scope much easier to use.
