1914: Shells of Fury

[CB..]

yes i noticed the two different version too...i bought the windows XP version...but actualy it isn't compatible with windows XP at all..(it crashes a lot of time on mission load)....tho all you need to do is run it in compatibility mode for windows 2000 and everything is ok..so i'm not sure what the difference is between the two versions (if any?)

on the FPS issue...i have tried dozens of minor file tweaks along the usual modding lines..and as is the case with modern games most of the tricks which WOULD work on older games...just don't have any genuine effect on recent graphics engines...
BUT here is just about the only one (so far) that gave me a noticable and usable increase in FPS...only maybe 3 or 4 extra FPS but it was enough on my system to make the game playable..

here's a link if you want to see if it helps on your set up...

mind you i had the same problems with SH4...
set all the graphical options to max..run the game ..got 11 FPS
set all graphical options to minimum...run the game...got 11 FPS

go figure..:hmm:

here's another funny thing also

Scaz's set up give slow frame rates
and he has these stats as he gave in the the topic's first post

Scaz's Specs are:
Windows XP
PentiumIV 3.0ghz
2048MB Ram
Nvidia 7600GT (256mb) AGP video card (supports pixelshader 3.0)
SB Live! sound card
All drivers up to date


CB..'s Specs are:
Windows XP
PentiumIV 3.0ghz
500MB Ram
ATI X300SE (128 mb) video card
on board sound
stock drivers

yet it seems we both get very similar frame rates...

again
go figure :hmm:
