And I tried doing a fresh install and got lag so not sure why that would be the problem. Nevertheless, I appreciate your help good sir

the lag fix it's not a mod and must not be enabled with Generic mod enabler .....if u mean the antilag u must copy all files from Antliga folder to the main Sh5 folder to work properly .........

Thanks guys!

And yes that is what I meant. I installed antilag. Today i completely reinstalled the game again to it's default state and still 10-15fps.

I'm having similar issues. System specs:

Processor: Intel i7 4702HQ @2.2ghz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 870M w/ 3gb vram
RAM 8GB DDR5
512GB Samsung SSD
Windows 10

Running TWoS mod with no changes, and started with an FPS of 7 (not a typo)

Installing the antilag files made no difference. Next I did a search and came up with a thread containing this post:

Get this d3d_antilag101 leave as-is and place the two items in game directory (eg : c:/ubisoft/silenthunter5/2 items from d3d_antilag101 here)

Ohh the AA slider have more to the left than right if that's possible

And stay away from heavy smoke mods etc

Hope that gets you started

I followed those recommendations, and the result was an increase in FPS from 7 to 15. Which is still atrocious. Are there any other recommendations for improving FPS? Any sorts of switches that could be applied to the shortcut?

I have SH5 installed (with TWoS) on my laptop with the following specs:

Processor: Intel i7 4700HQ @2.4ghz
Memory installed: 16 GB RAM
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 880M
Integrated graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4600
256 GB SSD
Windows 10 64 bit

I encountered simillar problems as users in this thread. Usually my framerate stayed arround 15, dropping further when graphic demands became high. I tried a few things, including:

* Run the program as Admisistrator;
* Run the program in Windows 7 compatibilty mode;
* Use the Antilag tool.
* Changing the settings in the Nvidia configuration screen

After this my framerate improved to 60 fps and the game is running smoothly. As I did the above things at the same time I did not know which actually fixed the problem. Now after some testing I found that FOR ME (no guarantees) the problem was caused by the wrong setting in the Nvidia configuration screen. It seems the game was using the integrated Intel graphics card instead of the Nvidia card. You can change this in the Nvidia configuration screen:

Open NVIDIA configuration screen --> Control 3D settings --> Program settings --> 1. Select SH5 in the list of games --> 2. Select Nvidia processor as preferred graphics processor for this program --> Apply

I found that the standard selection for the graphics processor is the integrated processor leading to poor performance in game. This worked for me, hope it helps.
