Better framerate with 1.3 patch ?

[Stary Wuj]

This game is beautifull (without Postprocessing filters :-) but I think graphic engine
is not optimized very much. I have AMD 4000+, 2 GB Ram, SB X-FI and Geforce 7800GTX, not fastest rig of the world, I know, but FPS should be little higher
IMHO (higher than 23 with many in-game graphic options off).
The same problem when I look through the periscope (SH3 like) - much lower fps
than normally, from bridge or external camera.
I heard, that framerate was better before 1.2 patch - it is true ?

Flickering on distant objects should (and probably can) be removed,
but what about framerate ?

I run this game with all graphical options maxed out, but with volumetric fog and the event camera disabled. I also run the mod that allows all the post processing filters to run except the grainy effect.

The result for me is a beautiful looking game, and frame rates between 27 and 40fps for the external shots, which is perfectly acceptable using a 7600GT video card and 2 GIGS of RAM.

I must try with volumetric fog - off, (sad, fog is nice and add immersion IMHO)
I don't remeber where "Event camera" option is - (I bought SH4 few days ago)
- can I disable this camera in main "game" menu ?

Thank You

The link to remove the grainy effects . The event camera is under options\gameplay in the main menu. The fog is nice and it is still in the game, but the Voumetric Stuff is a FPS killer.

I agree with the fact that it could be better in term of fps. Should be optimised in some way by the devs. Problem is : Will they have time for this ?

The priority is the bugs, i understand this and i agree. But if they can optimised the code, i hope they will.

Volumetric fog is the killer, that's true, and should not IMHO.. "Armed Assault" seems to me more complex to render, and it seems to run better. I don't know if we can compare, though..


A strange thing is when at heavy seas, the FPS are a lot more better then in calm, while in SH3, it was the opposite :hmm: Cannot figure why.


The game run good in my rig but should run even better IMO.

Light reflections, more of them to calculate (shrug).

Like has been said - the volumetric fog is a frame killer, it cuts my frames in half when I turn it on. I leave it off as you can imagine.

Other than that I think the game runs surprisingly well. The resolution is set to 1280x1024, I use the drop-down to set the sliders on medium and then I turn on all the checkbox options (those with labels that is ). No AA or AF. I was surprised to get between 30 - 60 fps on my 3.5 year old computer (except the video card).

I agree with it absolutely ...
About what here to speak...
We have insufficiently optimized code...

I agree with you... graphic engine is not optimized...
(It's unfinished just like the game...)

Couldn't say it better...
