Mod the Mods - FPS drop in convoys, plz help

[Phylacista]

Hi there,

yesterday I experienced my first CTD - I think it was because of unsufficient memory. I was diving in the middle a convoy, strong sea wind and a nice medium fog. To increase speed, maneuverability and use the stabilized UZO sights I surfaced. At once the game got laggy and when my T1 hit the C3 in the middle and It exploded I could see some single frames...after that changing to external view again the game got stuck - every key pressed produced a much more annoying *ping* then any DD ever could (so on second thought it was no real CTD - had to use the task manager to achieve that..kind of *assisted CTD*..ehm never mind)

Before I installed the mods - RuB1.44 being the main part - the game ran more smoothly.
I believe it is because of more sophisticated graphics, explosions ant textures. Is there any way to get them back to "normal"?
I woulndt like to forgo Rub...but I can live with standard SH3 graphic.

Heres a list with my mods:

Rub1.44
latest Silent commander
Ail sky mod 2.0
NeuUZO&PeriV2
Bearing Overlay 3.0
and a mixture of sound mods (das boot sounds, internal sound .. and some others i dont remeber, I combined them in one JGSME folder) can sounds drop systemperformance significantly, too?


Heres my system:
AMD 2100+, 1.7 GHz
512 RAM
GF4 Ti 4200 128
Win 2k


Thanx for your help guys - perhaps sb has tweaked his own older system and has some good advices
