Tiny execution script

[Dignan]

Awesome! Thanks a ton for this. I've been doing this the hard way. Start the game, alt tab out, reset priority to realtime and go back into the game. Now I don't have to do that every time I play. This was well needed.

For anyone getting stutters in their bow wave or in explosion animations, this will fix it. It did for me.

EDIT: Upon trying it, it doesn't seem to work. The game starts fine but when I alt-tabbed out to check, my Task manager still shows sh5 running in normal mode. I followed the instructions exactly. The only thing I can think of is that I have my game installed on a secondary harddrive. Not my C drive . Would that prevent this script from working correctly?

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the same problem here, it works here. Make sure you have ""X:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5" in the target folder of your shortcut (See properties of shortcut)

And if you want realtime you have to run it as administrator or else it will automatically go down to high priority.

Also be sure the script is in the silent hunter 5 directory.

Try to add to the script this /D path-to-sh5

Like this: start /realtime /d "x:\ubisoft\silent hunter 5\" sh5.exe and see it that works.

EDIT: Let me know if it works or not. (For anyone else too)

I'll try that. Right now in my Target line I have this.

"E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Start_Realtime.bat"

The game is installed on my "E" drive. So you're saying I should make it look like this instead?

start /realtime /d "E:\Program Files\ubisoft\silent hunter 5\" sh5.exe

I want to make sure I understand.

I have solved it, change the script to this:

start "runrealtime" /realtime sh5.exe

I will update the download links with new scripts in a few moments, I will let people know, meanwhile you can edit the script manually. Just remember to run it as administrator if you want realtime to work.

Alright links are updated. If you want to automate running as administrator, create a new task scheduler with "lifted privileges" that way you can also automate the password phase of running as administrator (unless you run windows in an admin account to begin with, then it wont be neccesary)

Ok. So if my game is installed here E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5, how exactly should the script in my batch file shortcut read?

if you put the script somewhere else than in the silent hunter 5 folder, then you need to make the script like this:

start /d "E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunter 5" "runrealtime" /realtime sh5.exe

I just tried putting start /d "E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunter 5" "runrealtime" /realtime sh5.exe in my Target line and it says 'start' is not a valid script when I try to apply. Should it go in the "Start in:" line or the "Target:" line?
