Sudden Continuous Slow Performance\ Help!

[yotam_u]

Hello everyone,

Recently, upon reinstalling silent hunter 4 along with TMO (then 2.2 but since i updated to 2.5), I encountered a sudden continuous slow game performance while playing the game. This issue occurred a few weeks ago so I don't exactly remember the sequence of things after whom it happened, but I do remember it didn't happen when i just started to play. I also seem to remember that it happened after i changed the game resolution from 1024*768 to 1280*768 but then again, not straight after, a short while after.

Changing the graphics to minimum only changed the FPS in about 5-10.

By slow performance i mean approximately 20 FPS above the surface and about 7-13 FPS underwater.
The game is also very slow in the campaign interface (the office)

Does anyone have a clue about what my problem might be?


my system specs:
Windows XP professional
version 2002
service pack 3

Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9770
3.25GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
