Slow frame rate in Penang port

[peewee]

a little, yes but not to the same extent as in the uboat game. I can always start 'outside the harbour' and afetr moving away from shore go to just about any time compression I want but in the uboat game I cant do ANY compression above about 32 without the game locking up......also, if I go to external cam at normal time and just look at the u boat, it 'judders' along raher than moving smoothly and if I go on the bridge I can barely pan around to see the crew.....

Like someone else mentioned, SH3 with grey wolves is my uboat game of choice...

wow, 99 posts......just had to add this one to make it 100.......hahahahaha

Ok, for now i leave the German campaign until the 1.6 arrives.
Is it better starting "outside the harbour", isn't it?
And another more thing. If i sneak into a enemy harbour, the slowdowns appear once more?

Normally not, at least not on my Computer. I only have this problem in the "new" harbours. Went to Mogadishu yesterday, and everything was fine.

It is not a bug that makes SH4 work slower on your machines, it is the higher overhead with better graphics and physics. Version 1.6 if it comes, will only work the same, very slightly slower or very slightly faster than what we have now.

Silent Hunter 4 is just a more microprocessor and graphics card intensive game than SH3. That isn't going to change. But the save game issues SH3 had are not present here, and that alone makes me prefer SH4. It's painful to put weeks into a career that vanishes without a trace because the program got cranky. It ruined my enjoyment of SH3 and I'm only now getting interested again after nine months.

Just think if they get the bright idea to implement DX10! I budget a PC rebuild about every 2-3 years, this next one is going to be expensive as I will be getting CPU/MOBO/GPU/PSU/MEM... yikes ...oh but get ready to see some nice used stuff on EBAY. Never OC'd!

This is my hobby and with a the amount of hours I spend on the PC I do not even want to deal with Frame Rate issues when it comes to flight sims. The rest of the games I could care less.
