dual core and sh3 + 2 other ?ueries

flag4 · 10-22-07, 11:16 AM

hi hunters

one or two technical questions if thats ok..

1. can sh3 pull from dual core - i was thinking about an upgrade to dual core but i'm 939 socket and my choices are limited and potentially expensive and dont match up to my athlon 2.4 single core.

2. i would like to turn off the harbor traffic to lessen fps drop on leaving and entering harbor; im running gwx 1.03....( is there a 1.04 ? ).

3. i had a crash to desk top the other night during game ( first one since this install 4 months ago ). i was using external camera alot whilst cutting back to the internal boat. alot of action on the surface too, night time also, - explosions and the like - i was getting battered and didnt want to lose my crew, hence the external camera; it didnt help in the end - i went down. but anyaway the crash, i think it must have been all the action. i got the PLEASE INFORM MICROSOFT... DO YOU WISH TO SEND ERROR REPRT... then black screen. has not happened again, yet ! any clues Herr Kaleuns ?

many thanks

Hi

I dont think SH3 pulls from a duo CPU

1.04 is in the making - there is already a lite harbour traffic mod in the MODS folder
Enable through JSGME

The next time you get a CTD and the box pops up
There is a line - click here for more information IIRC
Click that and will give you the error

SH3.exe
sh3sim.act
simdata.dll

All very useful in pinpointing problems

What are your current comp specs
It may just have been too much going on for your rig to handle

No worries
Your rig is more than capable

Not quite sure what you mean by "pull from dual core". But I run SH3 on my laptop which has a dual core processor and it runs fine.

AMD 64x2 TL-50 1.61 GHz
2 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce Go7600 256mb Graphics Card

hi hakahura,

what i mean is can sh3 utilize both cores - as modern games are now being scripted to. i have a feeling that sh3 would only utilize the one core in a dual - but i don't know ??
plesase excuse the heavy-trucker terminology 'pull'

thought it made me sound like i new what i was talking about. !!

i was thinking about upgrading to a dual but as i'm running a single core at 2.4ghz i dont see the point if i lose out. my set up at the moment is more than enough for sh3 - just the occasional blip when things crash or slow up.

cheers

I'm using dual cores. SH3 doesn't utilize them unless you edit a whole bunch of crap, as I did, in the main game frame. I'm not even sure that's legal, but I did it anyway.
