I get roughly 45fps when in harbour and approx 60+ when out at sea!, what settings do you have in the Nvidia control panel though?. If i use 8xQ it uses all my 1280mb of V-Memory up! so i leave just the max in-game setting of AA, and use the Nvidia control panel to force 16xAF.

I also have textures and all settings in Nvidia control panel set to the best quality. Technically we should be getting the same results, and i have my 570 clocked to 820 / 2000.

As for further mods i would suggest "critical hits for torps and guns", anything that makes for more realistic damage / sinking.

However, my biggest shock of all is the devs did not supply the sim with manual TDC and stadimeter, this is even more unbelivable than not supplying a U-boat number!, I've read your excelent tutorial on using the outer ring for finding range and AOB (though AOB i just judge myself anyway), but how do you find the enemy's speed?? and what about the different magnifications used for the UZO and Ob-Periscope?

I think this must surely be the biggest need for the game as of now??

Thanks

Try this one. It sounds strange but limiting the fps:es stops the game from trying to maximize fps over and over again causing this @jumpy@ effect.
My framerates are at a steady 40 fps (with the d3d_antilag101).
I'm perfectly satisfied with performance now with this Mod activated through JSGME - completely flawless and smoooooooth.
My rig runs SH5 rather fine even without this Mod but considering all Mods being activated I always get really outstanding performance. Tweak it to your taste in the included .cfg file.
I really can't see why not everyone should at least try this one!? Should eliminate a major part of all discussions about fps:es and give everyone a very nice and fluent gameplay. The SH5 doesn't need any higher fps to run perfectly. At least not for me.
(The d3d_antilag101 is said to work with other games too but so far I haven't tried it with other games).
If there are any doubts I can assure it's worth giving it a try!

First of all it should be:
Silenthunter5 / MODS

Every time you make a change to a mod you should unload and reload it.

3. Not sure why that is happening

Sound. My SH5 copy is installed with the German voices. Right now... I got two commands voice: English and German Fier at will! Feuer frei!
It`s only happen when I click on the icons above crew. And when the radio massege incoming.

Hi Dissaray
I see the icon on the map and then i race across to where i will dissect it known path. When i arrive i set about listening for hours on end for any targets and nothing appears...didnt have this trouble finding targets before.

Sorry, my mistake, it is Silenthunter/MODS....but does'nt work. So are you saying i need to de-activate Patch1, then de-activate the Core Mega-mod, then make the changes as i did, then re-activate both?

@Those, promoting the Anti-lag patch....what do you sacrifice to get higher fps then?? otherwise how does it work?

System specs
E8400 @3.732Ghz
8Gb RAM
2x GTX 260c216 in SLI clocked at 712/1512/1188 (core,shader,ram)
Creative x-fi xtremegamer with 5.1 surround sound.
Acer 23.6" monitor running @2048x1152


I have seen people with better configurations posting lower frames at lower resolution than I run. I wonder what is going on with them. One note is I do not run high AA (or usually AA at all) because at this higher resolution the gain is sometimes nominal (almost unnoticeable).

Firstly, how is your Acer 23.6 monitor running @2048x1152...this surely is not its native res more like a 30" monitor! and changing res on a TFT screws the picture!
Secondly, AA has a massive effect on FPS, i have no doubt i would be getting 60+FPS in harbour id i took the AA down from max.

Infact, i might knock it down a notch as the game is using all my 1280mb of video memory, and the switch back and forth to system memory is, i think causing that stutering effect sometimes when viewing from external camera!!

In all fairness, after treating myself to a 24" IPS monitor and GTX570 just for this game and Totalwar, im a bit gutted that in both games i run out of video memory if above 4xAA....i cant work the AA control out in SH5, there is five stages???? whats the fifth stage for? 10xAA ??

I dont understand how to install the patch. can someone help me out please?
Do i need to put the stuff in the patch in the mod enablers as wel? I,m puzzeled.

[Trevally.]

Hi Oscar

What you need to do is:-

uninstall main mod using JSGME
Copy mod folder from the patch file
Paste it in your sh5 mod folder.

It will ask about merging folders - say yes
It will ask about replacing files - say yes

Re-install main mod (it is now patched)

BIG Problem :

when I'm under water can not mark target! Lock-break does not work ( though it is enabled to appear ) and target can not mark with the key space!

This has puzzled me aswell. When installing the first patch, i simply opened up Patch 1 folder, then opened up the MODS folder (in Patch 1) and copied Magnum_Opus Patch 1 into my SH5 MODS folder then enabled it .....it seemed to work despite not disabling the Main Magnum_OPus Mod first.!

However, with Patch 2, im puzzled because it contains a MOD folder like the other, but also has other files like "Nvidia missing lights" seperate to the MODS folder?

So do i install the contents of Patch2 MODS folder, and the "Nvidia missing lights" folder, or is it all contained in the Patch 2 MODS folder anyway?


My other query, is changing some of the user option. Do i need to de-activate all the mods (Magnum_Opus + Patches) then change options, then re-install, or do i need to remove the mods entirely out of JSGME altogether before changing and re-installing?

Sorry for being a bit random, but where is the length of the ship I select in the recognition manual, can't seem to find the darned length anywhere on the ship page. I need this length of the ship or else I won't be able to calculate speed accurately.
