Minor graphical issues

[Elsilhe]

Hello to all! I'm a first time poster, but have been hanging around since SH3 (and played since the very first SH. Anyone remember those robotic-like "Up periscope" sounds? )

So... I thought I'll ask here if anyone else is experiencing the same (minor) issues with the game:
1) No matter what I set up in my graphics card and/or game settings, all the ropes on ships look "un-antialiased" and partially transparent or saw-toothed-depending on the distance.
2) Dynamic shadows are killing my FPS. Now, I read that the patch will (hopefully!) improve the performance inside the sub, but I have troubles outside, too.

My computer should handle the game just fine (Intel Core i5, 6GB RAM), but I'm not so sure about the graphics card, which is Nvidia GeForce GE220, which - while holding 1 GB dedicated memory - I suppose to be the bottleneck of my hardware.

Just had to add as I don't write very often: Despite all the criticism I've read here in the forums, I still believe this game will be something that will be referred to be "The Subsim" when the years go by; it just has so much potential, in my opinion. By the developers? No. I believe that, when released, the patch will open doors for the "big scale" modders.

Best regards,
Elsilhe
