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.

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

USING THE OLD 4GB PATCH IT S ALL WORKING FINE WITH ALL THE GRAPHIC OPTIONS ON, ONLY THE SALMON AND SARGO CLASSES LAG A LITTLE BIT TOO BUT THEY WORK. I TRIED ALL THE BOAT CLASSES AND THEY WORK. Thanks for the support guys 🙂

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.
