Are you guys running a "DRM free" version? The target line for the shortcut on my desktop is:

"C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe"

Perhaps, but that cannot be talked about here.

DedEye · 03-11-10, 08:02 PM

worked for me too!

Thanks!

Edit: make a shortcut on your desktop to sh5.exe from the game's folder

didn't work for me ...

my sluggishness/stutter on outside views seems heavy related to sea state ...

it seems it could be related to the "spray" which seems to cause a lag/juddering effect ..

IRISH4Life · 03-11-10, 08:58 PM

My target line says this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Silent Hunter V\sh5.exe"

Where would I put the c/ start/realtime" "" "

This is what I wrote

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Silent Hunter V\sh5.exe"/c start/realtime "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Silent Hunter V\sh5.exe"

It says invalid path?

Any suggestions?

Hmmmm... you must be runnin vista or 7

I'm still using xp although I just recently bought a copy of 7 and another hdd so gonna set it up this weekend. Unfortunately that means I have little experience with vista or 7.

This is a copy/paste of mine:

"F:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe" /c start /realtime "" "F:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe"

As you can see I have installed on my F drive; you'll need to change yours accordingly.

Made another shortcut manually. Noticed definite improvement. Explosions and bow wakes now run smooth!

I think we should sticky this one.

You dont have to run it with the game updater path.
You can run straight to the SH5.exe but will have to runt he updater whenever you want to patch.

Also when I posted the link earlier I was at work and guessing the path mine actually loads the Gameupdater on my shortcut.

PortoFerro · 03-12-10, 08:04 AM

Does this shortcut also work with the Steam Version?

By doing this, it tells me it can only switch to HIGH and then my system went into a black screen crash, and i had to switch PC off and on again.

Any ideas?

Noticed a slight improvement with this. I do however still suffer very low FPS inside the boat. Especially just forward of the control room, outside the sonar and radio station. The game slows to an absolute crawl when I try to move past that section. I have no problems when looking through the scope at large convoys, during explosions or when being on the bridge. Only when moving around inside, especially at that specific location. I've set shadows, AA to lowest settings, only have 3D ship damage ticked, but no dice.

Me too, that exact location is by far the most problematic.

I have noticed a performance problem in the aft torpedo room and engine room area. Other areas of the boat and outside on the bridge have no problem, but when I move to the aft of the interior, the graphics stutter pretty badly. Anyone else run into this and have a solution? I have tried disabling 2 of my 3 cores, but then sound stutters.
