Low FPS inside and around harbours, WAC 5.2

überkapitän1941 · 04-20-20, 07:52 PM

Hi, I play the War Ace Campaign Mod (Mediterranean Campaign) with 4GB patch and only get about 30-40 FPS inside and around harbours. Is this normal behavior for this game? I got the Steam version on Windows 10 with GTX 1060 and 16GB RAM, running the game on high-performance Nvidia processor in the program settings so I should be able to run this game with better performance. I already tried turning particle density low/off which did not help. I also tried the Stripped down Harbours and Flags beta Mod with little to no increase in performance. Now, I understand Mods like this tend to run worse than the base game does and I just recently got into this game, so without coming across any answers for this after several searches online I chose to just ask for advice on the forum here. Other than that I got no problems with running the game besides a few crashes here and there.

The game was written to play at 30fps, so 30 to 40 is right there. A US TV show used to be broadcast and 29.97 fps, which of course was interlaced. You do not "see" any better differences with the higher frame rates in the game anyway, and might actually eventually mess with the game's "time" clocks. It is better to stay closer to 30 than 130... my opinion. The harbor traffic brings the game to life for me, seeing other boats and ships buzzing about, with the occassional airplane flying overhead. Not too many though, because they are resource stealers...

WAC5.2 is a big RAM eater the champaine file is extrodinary large which take most of the memory space,second the harbor is crowded with all kinds of ships and decroration which looks good but eats memory too,third the MOD is premature baby the moddler team didnt work out and disbanded which means this MOD is littered with thousands of bugs, typos, mismatch IDs and you name it... I wounld not recommand anyone new to try this MOD.The ship moddel looks beautiful,has lots of new feasure included and champaine file has some interesting element but it just doesnt work.Use this MOD as a source of scavenge and make you own MOD out of it.

Hi shadow
For me too wac5 so much heavier.. Which your mod list? Thanks

WAC5.2 + Full Interior + ARB GUI + Stripped down harbour +TAM&UCS + H.sie supplement.

Almost all of them has some kind of error and requires manual configuration to make it work at the maximum RAM bondaries

Thank you guys for pointing this out. Now, would there exist a Mod or some manual way to limit the amount of ships spawning into harbours?

Do you have a Mod list to recommend for someone new to the game, or should I just play fixed base game first?

If you want a mega mod with all included, try LSH3 2015!
Or better, try Ccom12!
These do not need any extra mods, everything is already in there for great experience.
