It seems that if I disable volumetric fog and other options it work, but the Gato had black dials, so I re enabled them and work like early, with the interior s mod ctd. I guess I must try to work with the options...

First of all very beautiful mod gives a really ''cozy'' feeling to the ''cold'' SH4!!
Now to the performance for me, I saw a very big fps drop like from constant 60 to 11 when I'm looking to the modded areas I suspect it's probably the mods I have with it.

Yeah I forgot to mention that I use a laptop! I believe I can survive with the fps drop, either way, a very nice mod

Hi Peter,

you may want to give a look at page 3 of this thread, post #42, I have especially done this system for playing this mod optimally. I hope it helps you, it should also work fine for laptops.

If you have a GPU card on the low side it's best to simply switch on Vsynch in the SH4 game grafic options, you will then have FPS in sync with your monitor, although it may drop during game.



Greetings,
XS

Hi Xenon
I have a Ryzen 7 with 8 cores 8GB Ram and 4GB VRam so not the best but also not the worst. I have tried the vsync on and off the same result 11fps when i turn to the modded areas i even tried to work a solution through radeon settings nothing happened the same results, i will agree with vickers that it must be something to do with Laptop graphics adapter! The only positive is that it doesn't render the whole game unplayable so i will try to find a solution or a fix!
Greetings
peter

With laptops, it's important to ensure that your game starts with your main grafic card and not with Intel Grafics which are there for power saving. You must swtich on 'Highest Performance' in the Energy Options of your laptop, and if you run Win10, right-click on the game icon and chose to start game with your main grafic card.


A good tool to do my procedure at post #42 is to use RadeonPro (because you have an AMD card) where you can display GPU load, GpU temp, FPS during game and also set a framecap which you need to do if you turn Vsynch=off which is the default in SH4.


Tell me if you need further help,
XS

Yeah, the corsair of the pacific is coming back. I have only 1 problem: my screenshots are all corrupted by sometime, I have also reinstalled the game many times. But they still to be corrupted.

Have you tried downloading FRAPS instead of using the ingame screenshot function? I find FRAPS works fine.

After reading the various user experiences with this mod I would have to say that the performance hit ( i get a steady 75fps until i pan the interior cam to the new textures and it drop to about 42 fps with some stuttering) Is not a hardware issue. It's lots more info for any system to deal with.

it's mainly the engine that can't handle that much information very well, it's
not optimized for more than one room at once.
however, with my main system, i7 with Ati RX480 i get ~55fps in the modded area..but maybe i'm overlooking something what i can optimize
in the new room

... besides the fact that the game was designed to run at 30fps... I do see a performance "hit", but I have never gone below 42fps with the mod, even when it was busy outside the boat, and I've got an old Core 2 Duo quad-core with 8gig of ram with an old 560Ti with what? 512k of RAM?? I don't know if it impacts the game when not viewing the interior, but I have not noticed any difference, though I do know of at least two people that do experience issues on their computers when it is loaded, but those problems might be from something else, like the base FotRSU mod, or their computers...
