Default Time Compression limits?

So as everyone knows when in any view in the sub, like on the bridge or in the conn tower, basically when not in the Nav map view, the time compression is limited to x32. Is there anyway to make this higher? Not looking for lightning speed but even just up to 200 or 512, i like the bridge view 😆

The file in question, can be found, as follows:

In the main folder the game is located:

Data\Cfg\main.cfg


The section you want, is under '' [TIME COMPRESSION] ''

This is the set up I have that set as:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=128;1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=128
CharacterAnim=64
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=1
Particles=64
PrayState=256
HunterState=256
3DRender=1024
Maximum=1024

If you wish to go with that, is a simple matter of copying Mine, going to the main.cfg file in your folder, then highlight it & then right click the highlighted area & then select ''paste'' option in the menu list that pops up & paste Mine there.

Eazy peazy, Mac & cheezy....

Hope this helps...

M. M.

And that all works for you? No changes in ANY other file?


Edit: There's TWO Main.cfg file in a similar location. One is in the game installation folder and the other is in Documents. Both have the data/cfg/main.cfg file path.

The 1 you want, is the 1 in the game install folder, listed as I outlined... & yes, that works for Me... no changing any other files, other than that main.cfg file. That's it.

Hmm, I tried it last night and the one at D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunters Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Cfg doesn't do anything. I add to go to C:\Users\****\Documents\SH4\data\cfg to get it to change.
