GWX - conning tower stutter?

nehvun · 07-12-07, 10:14 PM

Hi All -
I seem to have a serious stuttering (read: slideshow) problem when surfaced - occurs anywhere , and at anytime (beginning, mid, end of patrol, mid-ocean, harbour etc, cons around or not..)
From testing, I hit this problem when I have men on deck (I can be in sub or on bridge, same slowdown/sluggishness to controls etc) - a weird thing is, in external view, as long as the conning tower is not in frame, there is no slowdown at all - pan around to so the conning tower is in view, and insta-brakes to frame rate and control responsiveness. As soon as order a dive, and men get off the bridge - it's back to silk again, normal frame & responses (opposite also occurs - whil sub is in process of breaching water for surface, but the men are not yet on the deck, it is smooth - as soon as they pop into existence, it crawls..)
Tried lowering particles but this does not help.

Experience the same type of thing when submerged and look through periscope, although I think this could be a seperate issue..

Have un and re-installed everything one x one, running a mission after each step - SH3, GWX 1/1.03 + JSGME (when testing did not enable any mods in JSGME), SH3Commander, SH3Gen
-and unfortunately was after GWX that the problem rears its head..

Any help would be greatly appreciated, the time I have to do missions is not great because of RL, and with the slowdown makes it that much less time to enjoy..

My specs & settings:
PC: Sony BX197XP - Pentium M 2.00Ghz, 2GB RAM, game partition 40GB free, pagefile different partition. Graphics ATI mobility radeon X700 (4xAA, 4xAF). All unnecessary task bar apps shut down.

BTW GWX team - great mod - huge improvement over stock - finding more and more things I like about it, and looking forward to 1.04

Please confirm that you have no other mods installed that could cause the problem? Other than you mentioned that is.

I hope somebody knows the answer

Confirmed - when re-installing and testing, at no points were any mods used (neither manually added ones nor via JSGE) - no mods other than core GWX + 1.03 update, that is..

GWX JSGE addons were not enabled also.

You sure the drivers for the video card are up-to-date?

There have been other issues with Ati cards...

Hi -

Have tried that, but ATI driver update detection software refers me to Sony for an update (unsupported platform) - and after checking on the Sony support site, it looks like I already have the latest...

Was also kind of wondering if it may be the radio loop causing the prob - (been testing in a VIIB, 1939) - will check when I am home tonight whether this 'arrives' on the deck at the same time as the crew..and/or try a sub without the loop..

All subs have the rotating loop
If you think its that you can try the mod with lowered loops for GWX

Ummm where is it now

GWX_-_Lowered_DF_Antennas is the one
