My game runs fine apart from the shadows.

Grey_Raven75 · 03-05-10, 04:16 AM

I'm not running an especially up-to-date system and I haven't found any situation that's caused significant slowdown (ie, convoys, inside the sub, bad weather, raging fires on damaged ships). Loading times also don't seem much longer than SH3+GWX or SH4 with one of the supermods. I've got everything maxed out graphics wise except for AA. It's on at the first setting, so I could do more experimentation with that to see how it affects performance.

System Specs:

Windows Vista Home Baisc SP2
Pentium D 3.2 GHz
2 gigs RAM
GeForce 8800GT 512MB
DX11

As i said its not graphical issue i cna have effects disabled or enabled it has no impact. Just the AI goes skynet and does stupid stuff and that creates lag issues after some time.

Like previously mentioned collisions when entire convoy rams a beach. Or computer spawns several mega convoys in different parts i cant even reach.

You can see in campaigns the proper files and view them in mission editor i just dont know what files are proper to change and what values.

EDIT: Just an hour ago a convoy spawned infront of me and all 11 ships would miss me just one decided to set collision course (was a polish freighter). I missed him by 10 meters.

I am sure I have read a while back that since the release of SH4 all objects are loaded dynamically with player proximity ie as needed for visuals. This was not the case in SH3 where everything was loaded at once,

Running windows xp by any chance? that can mess up thread allocation on multi core machines consuming memory needlessly. I am running Win 7 with 4 gig of memory and still have plenty free while the game is running, so the game isn't trying to allocate all free memory, something else is at fault causing your problems.
