Performance tweak for 1.3

Deep6 · 07-15-07, 08:21 PM

I patched over 1.2, and they all had NOs.

Me too. I also checked C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SH4\Data\Cfg\Main.cfg and they continued to show "No" after patching from 1.2 to 1.3.

Seems to me that that change should have been part of the patch. The fix is posted here in a couple of threads. Just went searching for the 'Request for changes in 1.3' and couldn't find it, so I can't confirm that this glitch made it there. Oh well.

This tweak actually made me lose a good 20 FPS

Turning it all to off made it an unplayable lag fest for me - with the options set to YES I'm back to stable framerates.

I started the first Asiatic campaign yesterday. Right now I'm headed to the South China Sea for the third primary mission with 45K tons after a toprp refit....damned duds. Saved file is about 2.3MB with 1.3 and no mods and no .cfg change.

My impressions are the game loads faster, saves about the same, and seems fine in thos respects. Oh yeah, the torp doors are on steroids and the new boat (Salmon) seems to dive faster than a lead brick..

I will try that then... because i loss FPS after patch.

Game was running smooth for me in v1.2, but with v1.3 not.

May be i need to uninstall, defrag and reinstall...

Probably the new patch includes some things that ads load to the system, like Ia, radar...and other things

For the ones haveing problems did you type NO or No ?

It might make a difference.

The file you need to edit is in your INSTALL folder of SH4/data/cfg

Dunno why it caused some folks issues - this was an FYI - if it helps great - if not then change it back.
