Should I get SH4?

It might be hardware, driver, or something in vanilla that was fixed awhile ago. The game doesn't seem all that choppy to me and does look pretty sweet with the right stuff done to it.

I like this movie for a few reasons:


- First part of the movie is the mod earlier in development, with the second part of the movie showing the mod later in development after more environmental work was done to it. So in an odd way it kind of showcases some of what the game can do graphically, and how its improved over time.

- user created dramatic submarine youtube movies are almost always cool to watch, and the movie maker used TMO which put a silly grin on my fugly mug.

My final complaint is the controls, yeah I liked SH3's better, probably because I've had time to get used to them, I'm sure they'll grow on me, but as for right now....meh.

Yeah I can relate. The VERY first thing i did when SH4 was launched was to reconfigure the controls to SH3's. Which sort of bleed over into the TMO supermod, so in an odd sense, every user of TMO is using a SH3-esque keyboard layout.

Oh and any tips to boost my FPS would be great guys, I'm working with an old dinosaur of a PC here.

Try enabeling only volumentric fog and not enabeling environmental effects. What your really doing is preventing the ghostlike transparent crew from appearing when its foggy, while retaining the transparent water. What you lose is the cloud shadowing effect on the water.
