Upgraded Video Card and now stutter fest - Page 2

Dedeye, from scouring different gaming/driver forums it seems it's solely a bug in the game

The more fps you get the more "glitchy" the mouse acts when below deck

AFAIK isn't this fixed in patch 1.2 when it arrives ?

(seems poor that the better your rig the more problems you get lol)

Just updated to latest drivers for ATI yesterday, I'm on a 512mb HD4870 / i7 / 6Gb DDR3.

Only problem I see is the mouse lag when panning round on the bridge.

I always have v-sync enabled with triple buffering.

Promised patch will improve performance hopefully.

I get 70 FPS near the Attack Scope and 10 FPS in the control room.

I was getting 10fps in the control room with a t5500cpu and x1700 graphics card LOL . Wildly varying fps with diffrent setups . The game certainly could be optimised better . I have a pretty good rig now and dont have any problems at all . No lag or jerky mouse or anything , just smooth gameplay .

Same here, what is starting to worry me is the fan going mental in the CR and the temperature reaching 100 C...

Yes, I hear you with the fan speed. I even added another fan which is attached to the side of my case via a bracket to direct cooling air to the GPU. But it still kicks up a racket!

If this is commonplace I'm sure they'll fix this through patching.

There is only one thing we can do and thats to wait for this dam patch.

I used to have a 8800 ultra, till it died on me, SOB....SNIF.
It was a wonderful card but never got the chance to run it on SHV.
I bought a GTS250 which seems to run pretty well on any game I
throw at it exept SHV!
I also get severe lag, stutter and jolts in or out of the sub.
I used FRAPS and got an average of 40 to 50 fps at 1680 1050
I hope UBI fix this problem because the game is totally unplayable for me

Dont let us down UBIsoft. Pleeeeeese!!

OK, so I played around with the settings in the Catalyst control centre.

A few things seemed to have made a difference:

- First ATI doesn't seem to like overriding Anti Aliasing, so I had to set the option to use 'Use Application Settings', otherwise AA does not work

- Also set Anisotropic filtering to 'Use Application Sttings'

- Set Catalyst AI to off or standard

It seems ok now.. but I still feel that it is not quite there yet, much better than before and still very playable.

Hopefully the next patch will also introduce performance fixes.

Thanks,
G

Info on the russian patch reckons the interior high fps glitch is fixed in 1.2.0

So my thinking/hoping is, now xfire and v-sync will be workable and obviously the mouse flick-show high fps glitch has gone (only way to get xfire working so i read was to enable games v-sync but this made the mouse so flickery it wasn't even funny)

And i noticed that ccc doesn't overide the AA sh5 settings (hmm maybe mess with the cfg)

Anyways, glad to hear things have improved for your gaming experience

ps: there's a bug where if AF is enabled the trees on land are blocky (was in sh4 too) so when up close n personal the treeline looks like new yorks skyline

THE_MASK · 04-26-10, 05:55 AM

Also switch anti-aliasing mode to Multi-Sample AA .

Sgtmonkeynads · 04-26-10, 06:30 AM

I noticed that xfire was not working , so i did the rename the .exe file to fear, and I don't know if it is working. The ATI symble does not show in game when I select it to be. BUT any way, after doing that I noticed that my game was slow as a drunk sloth. I hope they at least fix that problem. It does look a little better with both cards running, but is like a slideshow. One card how ever is fine and works great.

Danged if I do Danged if I don't.

Akula · 04-26-10, 09:47 AM

@sober, when I don't use the Use System Settings option for AA it didn't have any AA applied at all...

Are you saying I can override it and it will work, but that I have to use the Multi-Sample AA setting option? I used Adaptive AA before but it did,'t work.
