Is there a way to disable the graphics tweaks in GW?

[bogaty]

I like most of what's in the mod but it runs like a slide show and, to be honest, I think the sea in GW looks worse than in stock SHIII.

If I were to copy the default files from data/env over, would that fix things?

The slide show effect as you put it, is most likely the sea floor texture. There are a few options in regards to this and most systems can only run the lower res TGA's for the sea floor. I cant recall the link for it off hand but there is a fix for it. A forum search for "Sea Floor" should do the trick.

As to the Enviromental sea colours, YES you can just copy the SEA related files from stock right over the top, but what ever you do, dont touch the sky files, it will play merry hell with your game in regards to strange sky dome texture's.

I had already turned off the sea floor textures. I find that the Grey Wolves mod runs very sluggishly on my PC when the weather is bad. Also, I find the higher than standard waves cause a lot of clipping issues with my sub and other ships and I'd really like to disable the enhanced wave height and the wave/water textures. Any ideas?

I run the default installation of GW on my machine without the sluggishness you describe. My pc specs are:

Pentium P4 3GHz
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon X300se (many on this forum have said this is a poor graphics card)
Soundblaster soundcard

Frame rates in port are around 25-30fps. If I start rotating my view however, it can drop to 15-20fps which causes a slight stutter. In bad weather at sea I get around 30-40fps. To be honest it wasn't much different in the stock game. I can live with this slight stutter in port because GW is a great enhancement to the game overall.

Hmmm. I find in heavy weather, I'm getting 5-12 fps. What do you have your Anti Aliassing and Antisotropic filtering set to? I currently run AA at 6x with temporal enabled and ASF at 16X

Not sure on the settings of AA and ASF, I'm at work so can't check, but if I remember I'll have a look and let you know.

Bloody post all went south!
