No, none whatsoever.

Change the texture and mipmap settings in *your graphics card setup* outside the game more to "performance" than "quality". It might start looking too crappy for you on some of the 3D stations in the boat though, such as the sonar station (but you will still have the digital readout if the bearing lines lose some of their sharpness).

Hi Guys, Read all post on this subject so could you tell me what is an acceptable rate I get 25-28 at bridge station with a nice smooth graphic performance no judders.I do get slight flashing at External Camera ie: sub icon flicks about screen but nothing to bad and just now and then ?

system:
Pent 4 3.20
2gb Ram
Nvid 7800GS 256mb
80gb HD

I have tried everything possible without spending money to get better fps . Overclocking via software the graphics card , changing settings , uninstalling , cleaning , defraging etc etc . I have come to the conclusion that apart from disabling volumetric fog the only thing that can get me more fps is a better graphics card .



P.S. The layer of dust that i removed from between the cpu and the aluminium cpu heatsink helped to stabilize my system .

Seems acceptable if you consider that film is shot at 24 fps although that system should be capable of a bit more

a film/movie works in a different way, in a game every frame is like a stroboscobic light, no panning, and you need of 40fps at least to see it absolutely smooth.
Anyway SH4 at 20 or 25 fps is good enough because the ships are not like airplanes, they are very slow! just some problems with huge explosions, but nothing serious.

What a pity, this game looks much worse than SH3 IMHO (especially water and crew,
very ugly crew :-) and low FPS is just immersion killer............

Polish version, 1.3, - and I can give You my key - SH4-B8RW-B03G-3JE3-X6UT -
enough ?

Again, SH3 graphics looks clear and realistic, SH4 mood is like some kind of fantasy,
strange water and weird ships (GeForce 7800 GTX) with low FPS, just my opinion,
again eye candy is immersion killer, like in many modern games..............

I'm back to SH3 with GWX :-)

To each his own Opinions and gameplay, by the way you may want to remove that key.
Plus I have both installed, like to have the option of either theatre.

I don't care about it, I'm not "multiplayer" fan :-)

So, You really think this water looks realistic ?
As You wish, but..........................................

BTW, with disabled Antialiasing it looks worse than I ever saw :-)

Sorry for my english.

ahhh, ^^^ your drinking, knew something was up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Storm water needs work, but the above mod (pic), combined with transparency and lighting underwater looks amazing.

No problems about your English, it is much better than if I tried your language.

GWX looks great, but I hear more complaints on gameplay with SH4, not to many on the graphics side to be honest.

I understand Your point of few.
I hope SH5 will be much better than SH4 (if will..................... :-)

Have a nice day and more......

BTW - I'm in love with SH3 because of "DAS BOOT" movie, and many books about
U-boot's and Kriegsmarine, thats why SH4 is only "eye candy and no immersion" subsim for me. Over Pacific I prefer "Pacific Fighters" (flight simulator) :-)

Sorry for "off topic" - low FPS is much important.

Wow - I'm not drunk anymore :-)
