There should be no surprise there, what surprized me is that my PC can run MTWII on max and yet can suffer on EB's campaign map.

But the seas look absolutely wonderful like this!
Shame to get rid of it, if it does not severely ruin your gaming experience.:wall:

I've noticed that the game runs a lot slower after I installed EB 1.0, but I didn't know it was the seas fault!

How do you revert to the vanilla sea?

it said there was suppose to be a readme, but there wasn't... I'm not so good at searching around the files, so can anyone tell me how to make it work?

It is not the seas, it is not the seas, it is not the seas. It is the script. We only offered the seas so that people would stop complaining.

You guys are loading the old seas and then zooming around the map before starting the script and thinking it is the greatest thing in the world. The new EB seas have the same specifications as the Vanilla seas, they just look different.

Start the script and then get back to me. Or better yet, show me your actual FPS with both seas and both before and after starting the script.

Is there a way to show the actual FPS?

i will do just this, when i next play campaign, but there is definitely a difference. i played all night yesterday for about 4.5 hours and hardly any slowdown which has been happening after about 2 hours before.

He's deadright . I made the new sea textures myself and the size did not change what so ever because that is not possible. I only added more detail , contrast and color to the tga's of the campaign map. The files did not change in size. They just look far better overall .
What did change with 1.0 is the adding of more scriptlines to the script .

i think i am seeing a bit of a descrepency in what we are talking about you EB guys are saying the fps shouldnt be any slower, and i agree. it doesnt change my game speed at the beginning. But it seems over time my game gets slower and slower. i dont know if that helps any, just thinkin

That happens regardless. Probably a memory leak somewhere.

It is not the seas, it is not the seas, it is not the seas.
Definitely.
Ze only thing that does significantly slows my current 1.0 campaign is pathfinding for prolonged voyages of spies, diplomats or fleets, I guess

I think it may be the grainier texture of the new seas that makes the animation look slower...

The user you are trying to extract it with does not have permission to write in the folder in question. Either log in as an administrator or check the permissions.

On a side I note, I at least have seen a noticable improvment in speed on the campaign map.

Had no problems with the new seas nor with the new skies, they are a little heavy indeed but I had not ctds from it and they are simply gourgeous
