Tweaking For Better Performance?
« on: July 18, 2007, 02:36:15 pm »
What property do both (but only) the winch map and the bronze-doors region maps have in common?

On the 3 different computers that I've played PS on (all with different nvidia cards) whenever an in-game-hour passes the game staggers briefly every second for about 20-30 seconds (as the lighting changes according to time) and only seems apparent on these particular maps.

Are there any tweaks that can fix this? (besides the options in pssetup as no amount of tweaking there seems to help much)

Also, the new shadows seem to be slaying the framerate for me... is there any way of disabling them and/or disabling speech bubbles easily?

Thanks.

I think you can disable bubbles by deleting chatbubbles.xml

I mght be better to rename the file to chatbubbles.bak instead of deleting it, just in case you decide you want them back later :)  Though running the updater ought to restore the file as well, come to think of it.
