GWX choppiness issues

How much RAM you have? What's the specs of your computer? If you're having lagging troubles try enabling the Little harbour traffic mod and the 8Km Atmosphere. That way you will miss the harbour traffic but the game will run faster.

Many people experience a drop in frame rates when in harbour....it should pick up nicely when your out in the open sea

I had the same problem until I installed a new graphics card, now it runs better than when I had only Stock SHIII

Hello fellow kaleun!As the other officers previously said,do enable the harbour Lite mod and use 8km Atmosphere.I actually use a mod that makes the sea/sky more clear at night.

If your problem occurs when you are looking an explosion,all you have to do is lower particles.In Stock SH3,i had particles to 60 and it was fine.In GWX it was like a slide show.I put it to 30 and it's fine again.No reason to use low detail textures after i did that.

I have just a modest nvidia 6600.

I have a Radeon 9250 lol and tis ok on mine
Choppy in port and when close to a convoy
I could use the Lite harbour but prefer to see live ports

The 16km atmosphere doubles the game view from the 8km but increases strain on the system in relation
I use the 8km for that reason

The only problems I have in GWX is when I get on the bridge and look in certian directions I'll get a massive fps loss (from 60 to 30) and the same thing with the periscope unless I zoom in with it then it fine, but when I zoom out the same thing happens. What is it, my PC runs it fine, I'll post my specs give me a sec.

Can anyone tell me why it does that? Its only the bridge scopes and only zoomed out.

Thanks for the help, and btw I love GWX. Good job guys keep up the great work.

I get that too
Usually if a pan to starboard from the bridge then it slows down

IIRC I had it in stock too but then my system isnt nowhere near yours lol
