How to Install SH5 (to latest specs.) - Page 2

[QUOTE=Aktungbby;2134815]From Von Clauscewitz's ONWAR:" 'too many moving parts causes a 'friction' which impairs the function of a martial body's proper movement'. ie: best to have fewer moving parts; hence the reduction of adverse 'friction'." Inasmuch as sea water itself causes 'friction', best to stay on the surface if possible; unless a DC salvo is immanent which causes an even greater 'friction' and rapidly curtails the movement of the martial entity: YOUR OVERMODIFIED U-BOOT! The astute kaleun is then at liberty to select the lesser of two 'frictions' AND CRASH DIVE.

This is a great example.

So which mods shall I scrap ?
or which are the essentials ?

thx, Pando

V13dweller · 10-29-13, 07:27 PM

I will be able to get my modlist to you by by tonight, about 5-6 pm GMT +8.
very busy
I was unable to do so, because I was very busy, sorry.

I disabled a few at random through JSGME (some are greyed out..what does that mean?) and the scenario still has 1 sec. lockups (always when the warspite guns the German ships especially on 4x speed) but it did not boot me out! So that's an improvement..

I cannot trim the sub after reaching 30% flooding... I guess that's true to life.
Anyway, I can see it's probably going to work... must have been a mod.

Great,

The exe that bypasses Uplay is much faster with loading.
I disabled all mods, and there's no stuttering...totally smooth play all the way!
graphics are still stunning, and I can see my sub on the TAB mini-map
but the Warspite scenario played out differently... but not worse!

So which mods are considered top priority or in the essentials category?
(for realism, as I get deeper into the game?)
I repeat stock-graphics need no enhancing IMHO.

Thanks for pointers, Pando

For sure this'll work...
I tried Fifi's Mini Mod list

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
#Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date) V9 by sober
FX_Update_0_0_21_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith
Manos Scopes-patch for [your resolution]
IRAI_0_0_39_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_39_Patch_ByTheDarkWraith
OPEN HORIZONS II_full v2.2
Reworked Morale and Abilities v.1.1

and Found that FX_Update_0_0_21_byTheDarkWraith was the offending mod causing 1 sec locks... what it does I could not find in any readme... but graphical bonuses for sure..

I'm enjoying the game now I have more confidence it is stable and want to reinstall now to get it in German.,...

thx v13dweller,

my mini mod list is super stable, but I will research yours, and migrate towards it... I must say there's so much of this game which is immediately stunning, though I know these forums are usually full of players who complain about the opposite... (hence the mods).

cheers, pando

After years of playing SH3 with GWX3.0, I'm going to give SH5 a proper shot. I played it once earlier this year and deleted it in disgust after getting half-way through the first "mission", but I feel it's time to reappraise it. I'll use these mod lists as a guide. Just couldn't get by with the antiquated graphics of SH3 any more, regardless of how good the gameplay is.

Stunning Visuals will do that to ya!
