Tiny execution script

DelphiUniverse · 03-26-11, 05:38 PM

When you launch silent hunter 5 normally, you get normal priority on the process, which is at priority 8. When you launch the game using high or realtime priority you get 13 for high or 24 for realtime.

When using high priority you get almost doubled priority compared to normal priority. And when using realtime you get tripled priority.

Realtime offers the best priority but you need administrator privilege to run in realtime. If you dont have admin privileges you can settle for high priority.
Choose the preferred one from below:

Download here:

"HIGH" PRIORITY DOWNLOAD
"REALTIME" PRIORITY DOWNLOAD

Install instructions:

Copy the batch script to your "Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5" directory
Right click the batch script and drag a shortcut to your desktop
Rename the shortcut to "Silent Hunter 5 (HIGH PRIORITY)"
Right click shortcut once again and choose properties and change icon and go to sh5 dir to find icon
Done. When you launch using this shortcut it will start with higher priority automatically

So this file will decrease our time connection... i mean we will have less time to wait for game to load or what?... i am afraid i can not follow you

Silent Hunter get more cpu time and the other programs get less cpu time. In total this means that the game will get less glitches, less cutoffs, less interruptions, when you get interruptions/less cpu time you sound may stutter, your game may stop or not respond for a few milliseconds, you get more fluent gameplay.

More horsepower per second so to speak. If you have 10 programs running on your computer and one of them happens to be silent hunter 5. If all of them have normal priority they each get the same amount of attention from the cpu per iteration.

Giving an application more time slice also means you get more cpu power, more computations can be computed per iteration, it is equl to having a more powerful processor (technically), but in the actual game, it just might still be slow because of the low performance of your cpu, but technically speaking it will have more cpu horse power available. That does not mean your cpu neccesarily is capable of producing enough horsepower to make the game run fluently, but it will get more horsepower per iteration.

So naturally it pays off to also switch off all applications running before you launch silent hunter 5. All of those applications get its own time slice of the cpu, if you shut it down that time slice is freed up and spread across the remaining applications.

wow... nice

.. you are good man... thanks for sharing this with us

Awesome! Thanks a ton for this. I've been doing this the hard way. Start the game, alt tab out, reset priority to realtime and go back into the game. Now I don't have to do that every time I play. This was well needed.

For anyone getting stutters in their bow wave or in explosion animations, this will fix it. It did for me.

EDIT: Upon trying it, it doesn't seem to work. The game starts fine but when I alt-tabbed out to check, my Task manager still shows sh5 running in normal mode. I followed the instructions exactly. The only thing I can think of is that I have my game installed on a secondary harddrive. Not my C drive . Would that prevent this script from working correctly?

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the same problem here, it works here. Make sure you have ""X:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5" in the target folder of your shortcut (See properties of shortcut)

And if you want realtime you have to run it as administrator or else it will automatically go down to high priority.

Also be sure the script is in the silent hunter 5 directory.

Try to add to the script this /D path-to-sh5

Like this: start /realtime /d "x:\ubisoft\silent hunter 5\" sh5.exe and see it that works.

EDIT: Let me know if it works or not. (For anyone else too)

Dose anyone have the files and are willing to share?

Or the running SH5 in High Priority not needed?
I'm experiencing Mouse Courser Lag.

I'd highly suggest NOT doing this guys - setting SH5 to realtime priority (or any other program, for that matter) is not recommended. For several explanations why, go here:

If you're having graphics stutter, get the D3D Antilag mod

dottore · 09-07-12, 07:40 AM

I agree. Use at your own risk. Mod: It can make your system instable if you run third party softwares in real time depends on what softwares you already run in memory and your system specs. Even can cause BSOD. You drain resources from your system.

Put it in your Silent Hunter 5 directory. Change your start exe to this batch file in your Desktop icon.
