It was the combination of SweetFX and antilag d3d9.dll

This is from the page detailing its installation:
"Important if u wanna use antilag d3d9.dll then Sweetf FX is not compatible with antilag d3d9.dll !!!!!! sweet fx will overwrite the antilag d3d9.dll"

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=223128

I uninstalled SweetFx but put in a fresh copy of d3d9 as I was having frame rate issues before SweetFx and...

Now it runs buttery smooth! It's like a breath of fresh air, moving around the boat and clicking on things is so much easier!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Vecko
Good diagnosis, with a positive outcome.

I wonder if Ryds gpu is a low spec one and that is why he is having to use antilag.
It might also be worth considering turning down the in game graphic settings as well could pick up the frame rates.

Possibly that might be true but my laptop is only about 4 years old. I7 processor, 2gb amd radeon 78xx gpu with 8 gigs of RAM.

I have turned the graphics down perhaps 25% and it seems to run fine. I'm actually gonna try taking the antilag thing off and see if there's a difference. I'm not sure now whether i put it in before or after sweetfx.

I just sent my first vessel to Davey Jones' locker! A 1900 tonne Polish passenger ship, it was armed so had a battle of my deck gun against theirs - they lost

Hi Ryds
Good idea to remove antilag.
Use CTRL+F8 each gaming session to monitor your frame rate.
IIRC it can also be enabled in the Uplay settings.
Your system specs are more than capable of running SH5.
You can always lower the in game graphics by unticking the boxes if necessary.
Keep your TC down near ports as this is where your frame rates will drop considerably.
