yes i noticed the two different version too...i bought the windows XP version...but actualy it isn't compatible with windows XP at all..(it crashes a lot of time on mission load)....tho all you need to do is run it in compatibility mode for windows 2000 and everything is ok..so i'm not sure what the difference is between the two versions (if any?)
on the FPS issue...i have tried dozens of minor file tweaks along the usual modding lines..and as is the case with modern games most of the tricks which WOULD work on older games...just don't have any genuine effect on recent graphics engines... BUT here is just about the only one (so far) that gave me a noticable and usable increase in FPS...only maybe 3 or 4 extra FPS but it was enough on my system to make the game playable.. here's a link if you want to see if it helps on your set up... http://www.ebort2.co.uk/files/SOF_fix1.zip mind you i had the same problems with SH4... set all the graphical options to max..run the game ..got 11 FPS set all graphical options to minimum...run the game...got 11 FPS go figure..:hmm: here's another funny thing also Scaz's set up give slow frame rates and he has these stats as he gave in the the topic's first post Scaz's Specs are: Windows XP PentiumIV 3.0ghz 2048MB Ram Nvidia 7600GT (256mb) AGP video card (supports pixelshader 3.0) SB Live! sound card All drivers up to date CB..'s Specs are: Windows XP PentiumIV 3.0ghz 500MB Ram ATI X300SE (128 mb) video card on board sound stock drivers yet it seems we both get very similar frame rates... again go figure :hmm:
