[REQ] Stability Mod - is that possible?

OttoSchuhart · 10-17-11, 06:52 AM

Many problems of SH5 have been addressed so far by the enormous amount of mods created by this community but the one which is most important to me is still not solved: game stability.

Apparently, the game behaves differently on different computers as some people are blessed with a rather undisturbed gameplay while others experience crashes every little while. I have to count myself to the latter group and experience pretty severe crashes that force me to reboot my whole system at least 2-3 times per evening (when running the game with NO mods installed). I could tolerate all sorts of other bugs but these constant crashes prevent me from playing SH5 at all. Since my PC easily exceeds SH5s recommended specs and runs perfectely stable with all kinds of other games I have to blame SH5 for that.

I know that this kind of bugfixing/patching needs to be done by the developers themselfs so I normally wouldn't ask for this kind of support here. But since we all known that this is not going to happen and I believe that SH5s instability is one of its major drawbacks for a lot of people, I still do. So what do you guys think, would it be possible to patch the game to increase its stability with the currently available tools? Thanks in advance.

I'd be interested in this, SH5 is often very unstable on my PC. I wonder if it's possible to make a mod like that...

One of the issues I had is my ATI Radion HD 2600 pro card. Crashing SH5 was on going, continual and disturbing, heh.

I run on a Nvidia card now and all's well.

I run an ATI Radeon HD5850 myself, so this could well be the source of the problem. If more people can confirm that SH5s instability is linked to ATI-cards we might have a starting point to deal with the problem (other than buying a new graphics card).

I'm on nvidia. I recently used the 4 gigs patch, but haven't played since then. Maybe that will help.

nVidia 590 here with no problems

Can I not confirm. I use the same (mobile version) and everything runs smooth.

I have ASUS EAH5870 V2 running OK, only if I adjust the graphic settings to the top highest resolution there is a frame per second decrease
