Ah, what kind of frame rates are you looking for? Are you spending more time and money worried about frame rates getting to 100+ or is you machine cranking 5 FPS all the time. My weak 3200+, 2 gig DDR and 7800 GS gets me 30+ frames. Pretty respectable for 4 year old machine that is run by chipmunks.

posting up what i find..,i dont bull... on framerate findings.
1.4 was smooth for us..as i say again will test more..

i like my games to be silky smooth for play.

It could be a hardware-specific problem, my humble Pentium D 3.0GHz/Radeon X1600 512mb/1G DDR runs it fine, with only occasional slowdowns at bad weather

just found out it was old creative drivers i was using, =updated.

i test sh4 with fraps running to make small vids..

fairly smooth frames again, i would say its a little choppy here and there..still

Performance is better than SH4 1.4, loadtimes are way faster.
Only GFX bug i have are the watchmen on deck missing their eyes, rest of the crew has eyes. Im using the official forceware 169.25 and i have tried several newer betas with no luck.

One question before I buy: What sort of protection does the expansion use? My SH4 uses Securom and needs the disc in the drive. But since the expansion is sold online, is there some online verification that requires you to be online when playing? Because that's something that I could not do. Or does it need the SH4 disc? It would be nice if you could let me know.

I've had the eyes problem since 1.4. I just ignore it, it's no problem as my watch crew can spot ships without them as they are trained in the ways of the jedi and they simply use the fource

.

Seriousley tho, not noticed any loss of frame rate infact the game runs a lot smoother on my rig than 1.4 did, especially around ports. Overall I am quite happy with it, the USN could have used some attention. More equipment for the subs eg. FM sonar, better detailed models but I can live with it. Worth the £9.99 I spent for it.

The watch crew isn't really missing their eyes. Those guys are zombies. And sadly enough, put there on purpose by the devs. Inside joke maybe?
