It works!

FINALLY the game's stuttering is gone! I'd tried everything else and nothing worked, but this little gem did the trick, thanks for posting it.

Thank you Seedler for the link, worked here also! Gameplay is very smooth now. Enjoying it to bits.

I've downloaded D3D9 antilag v1.01 but i'm not sure where to install it

What does "To install, put the d3d9.dll and antilag.cfg to the game
executable directory." mean

Thanks

Hello.
I think it means the directory you have installed your game.
I.e.: C\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
The sh5.exe is located in the same folder.

Gruß.

Echolot.

Thanks for your help

I see a lot of people having this problem, including myself.
I guess it must be crappy programming

I really hope they'll fix this. It's really annoying.

Could be this has already been said elsewhere, but this is the thread that shows up when you Google the problem, so I thought I'd add my experiences to the rest of you in case somebody else comes by and is losing his or her mind:

I had the same symptoms as mentioned and thought I'd fixed it by simply forcing vsync off as it's hardly needed for anything anymore anyway. That was until I left the menu screen and started a campaign. Lag, lag and more lag.

Not enough to render the game unplayable, just annoying.

So I tried the Anti-Lag fix, but that actually made it worse. Unless I set the settings in the antilag.cfg to what my graphics card was already using, so clearly that wasn't helping.

Ready to rip my hair out with righteous fury, I came across the FPS shortcut, Ctrl+F8 and ran that one in-game and, lo and behold, it was only when the FPS dropped below 30 that I noticed it. If I turned around and looked at a wall or walked around inside the boat it was no issue since the FPS jumped above 30 right away.

So clearly this was just a matter of tweaking the graphics settings, and sure enough: Modifying them a bit (they were pretty much maxed out by the game's auto-detect), just enough to keep it above 30 FPS, made everything OK. I found, by the way, for those of you who want to try, that the only settings that really make a difference are the shadows. Texture quality and environmental effects don't affect FPS noticeably, at least not on my box (thank God!)

Of course, my next reaction was to start cursing under my breath about lousy coding and whatnot. After all, my system is no slouch with a quad-core Phenom and a GTX 260 and I've always been used to just maxing out the settings on everything I install, right up to this point in time, and this isn't even a new game, so what gives???

And that's when I took a deep breath and took the boat out for a cruise and noticed, looking around, that even with my new "lower" settings, this is still by far the most spectacularly beautiful sim I've ever seen in my life, bar none. Not to mention that it doesn't really look noticeably different from what it does with everything maxed out.

I guess it's just that the devs made a sim with settings that went all the way to "11" and I've gotten too used to the fact that "10" on other games really only means "8", if that, if you compare them to how this baby looks. They should call "high" settings "positively insane" instead. That way crybabies like me wouldn't have a fit because we couldn't "max" things out.

Anyway: If you're like me and are having trouble getting the mouse to stop lagging, try playing with the graphics settings and the FPS counter a bit. And then, when you've found a new "lower" level that works perfectly fine, take a look around and notice how that "lower" setting still looks enormously better than anything else out there.

And I haven't even added all the mods yet!
