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

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.
