Any improvement?

I didn't install the integrated graphics card driver. The dell provides me an older version. Intel provides me a new version. But the problem is with the geforce 940mx not the integrated graphics card.

If you can use the MSI Afterburner to improve your GTX card optimization.

Geforce mx series are not good for overclock. i can only tweak some settings in nvidia control panel.

Also, have you tried to check different power management settings on the laptop?

I m using high performance atm. When i reinstall the windows i had a terrible problem with high disk usage ( around 99% ) the solution i found was to set to high performance. Maybe i could turn off superfecth and windows search to see if there is any improvements. Suggestions?

Also, Steam Shader is known to provoke issues with some games, including system lock due to gpu memory address locks. Turning it off will not affect negatively the games that use it without problems, so just turn it off as well.

I tried this but no sucess.

Put your ship for sale, buy ship, remove your ship from sale.

I want to show you what comes next. I can't recruit crew or equip the ship. Then i send the ship to the fleet and buy a basic cutter. Now i can equip the cutter

Unfortanely i can't upload anymore images here.

There is "switch" option in fleets as well.

The forum limited me to upload only 0.24mb . Very strange so i think i need to make this in 5 parts .😔

I went back to buy another ship. This time i take prints.

First - I need to sell my ship if i want to buy another one..

update: forum not allow me to upload anymore

incorrect. Damage is the same and it is worth it if you know what you're doing 😛

Yes i maybe wrong. I didn't find any reliable source about this and what i said was from other person comment. So yes i am probaly wrong since doesn't make a lot of sense. However if you are wasting a perk to increase your pen i think you are doing it wrong. You have limited charges with double charge right?

Expert Carpenter is the most powerful perk in the game at the moment imo.

And from what i see and of course i can be wrong and i have troubles in finding a reliable source about this it is imo a waste.

From what i understand when you hit hull repair it will use at best 7 x hull repairs if you have them in your cargo.

Each hull repair will heal 100 hp from your armor and structure hp. Correct me if i am wrong.

So 7 x100 = 700 hp

Expert carpenter will give you 0.05 hull repair modifier ( 5%)

so instead 700hp you are healing 735hp.

so lets say i am sailing in a frigate with 4229 hp on the side armor. That 35hp more you are healing doesn't sound anything special anymore.

Again please take note that i am finding troubles in finding a reliable source . So take this with a grain of salt.

The heavy frigates like the trinc and the endy are in my opinion just better then all the other smaller frigates. The indefatigable is a 4th rate, yes I know it says a 5th rate but its stats are almost on par with the Agamemnon. If you play solo the Endy, Bell poule, and the surprise are going to be your best bets.

Wood types don't do cedar or fir especially for pve ships, the heavier the ship the better. So live oak/white oak, or for the good at everything ship teak/white oak.

For the heel issue you said to depower with T which can be enough. But in a lot of ships/situations that still wont do so turn your yards with q/e, z/c so that the wind passes through them and this will bring your heel to 0.

Man i am really noob to this game. I never suspected we have a razee ship in the 5th rate category. 42 pd carronades at both decks ? Praise the lord.😜

"For the heel issue you said to depower with T which can be enough. But in a lot of ships/situations that still wont do so turn your yards with q/e, z/c so that the wind passes through them and this will bring your heel to 0."

Yes! I finally i got the Renonmee and the Frigate and with more experience i am already using manual sails to depower the ship. And not just because i need to lower my guns. sometimes i need to make sure i will have more hits. And i also learn if i have wind coming from behind i don't need to depower. The wind is already helping me in that situation. I realy enjoy the game mechanics in NA. Difficult to master in the beginning but very interesting.

dump the DD for charged man you would be suprised to know I never get boarded because people assume you have it. hehe

i am using atm.

- Fleet perk 1

- Double ball

- Determined Defender

- Hold optimization ( using this because i found a cargo with 1000 weight and 400k profit for each unit. So i need this to get 2 units on the le gros ventre )

I didn't choose the 5 perk atm. I will wait a few more days .

Charged you will get slighty more pen but less dmg. Not worth it imo.

If the Belle Poule is teak/white oak you are going to have some troubles penetrating the hull, but it's doable. Medium cannons are better for medium ranges because they have more dps and more punch, but less penetration than longs.

Depower the sails, it helps alot. And if you are sailing the surprise or trinco depowering sometimes is not enough, you need to depower and trim sails to neutral wind force.

Trinco and Endy used to be the best on their class (Essex could be too but lacks chasers). Now with the introduction of Hercules and Le Requin, we don't know anymore.

Bots don't sell carronades, carronades are crafted by players only. Must be them to put contracts in the port markets.

In my opinion it's a weak hull for a trinco, have speed but can't stand much combat. Better go for teak/teak or teak/white oak.

Use all perk slots, if you are using less you are in disadvantage to other players out there. You can change when you want, you must have Reset Perks Permit. For me Double Charge is optional and Double Shot is very important.

1. 9pds "Longs" Should do alright versus any other 5th rate class. A lot of people will buff the Belle Poule's thickness though to make it really hard to penetrate. So it is based on the wood build and mods

2. a good thing to remedy your problem here is to press "T" to depower. If that doesn't help, Manual sail you sails to be parallel to the wind to lower your Heel further.

3. The Trinc and Endymion are what you would consider "beasts" in the 5th rate class yes. They are more powerful than the other Frigates due to more guns and better gun class usually. That being said, currently the smaller 5th rates have faster base speeds and so are more likely to be able to flee from the heavier frigates.

4. Entirely depends on players to build the carronades and sell them. In many cases a player sees the cannons being sold and will purchase all of them. It would be best to ask in your nation chat and get someone to trade with you...otherwise Stick to the Capital and Freetown ports as they have a higher chance for stuff to sell do to player traffic

5. I would say that price for the Trinc is a bit high. But again, it depends on the player market and supply/demand.

6. 5 Perks max - they are not permanent though. There is a Permit in the Admiralty store which costs 50 combat Marks, allowing you to reset your Perks and pick 5 new ones. As for which perks are more important, I used the following perks
- Fleet Perk 1
- Double Ball
- Expert Carpenter
- Determined Defender
- Foreman/Prepared/Double Charge (choose 1)

1- I was using mediums for more dps but if i have problems to penetrate the armor having more dps in this situations maybe is not so relevant. I will run more tests.

2- T to depower. Thx. In the heat of the battle i will probaly have many problems in manual the sails to a parallel position to the wind. But press T will help a lot i hope.

3- So if i playing solo a faster frigate would be a better choice but with support a Trinc or a Endy would be good. Ok makes sense

4- Strange how the market works. With this situation it would be normal to see players to rush and craft carronades and sell them overprice to make big money. I will try my luck in chat.

5- Ok no deal. thx

6- Thanks for the information about the perks. Obrigado

Lets try something.

Laptop use dedicated gpu when integrated graphic card is not enough.

Lets see if changing resolution to max and other settings makes that the laptop activate your nvidia gpu.

Also set to off FPS limitation for the test.

You need to exit game after the changes.

I also strongly suggest to go to the official website of your laptop (dell) and find the last drivers for the intel gpu.

Ok i did that and without sucess. However i found something very strange.

Nvidia panel control works. I can force the game to play with geforce 940mx. However in one example is running on the geforce 940mx and in the other is running with integrated graphics card and the performance on both is exactly the same!!!!! I am lost here.

Sorry for my poor english, is not my native language.

I am still new to the game so i have many questions.

I got my first frigate, well a corvette, the Renommee and i went to fight pve vs a Belle Poule with 9pd cannons.

-9pd cannons lack the punch to deal damage against a Belle Poule showing the broadside at medium ranges?

-When i am preparing to make my broadside coming from a tight turn i set my rudder to the middle and my sails to auto but still i have troubles in aiming my guns low. Any pro tip to help bringing the guns down?

-When looking to stats the Trincomalee and Endymion it seems they are beasts in comparison with the other frigates. Are they really powerful against others frigates or all frigates all balanced?

-I am sailing around the french islands near Fort Royal and sometimes i go to Puerto de Espana for trade and i don't find carronades to sell anywhere. Why so? There is no advantage in selling carronades? I think i saw the contracts only have 15 days , i may be mistaken about this. But the low contract duration is a issue to sell goods in the market to other players?

- I found a Trincomalee to sell with teak frame and bermuda cedar planking for 950k. It is a good deal?

- I only used 1 perk - fleet control. I can only have 5 perks? I can change perks or are they permanent? Double charge and double shot are so important?

Thank you.

@no one

This sounds daft but just check the PCs power settings are set to “High Performance” and not “Balanced” or “Power Saver”

1.            Right Click Windows symbol on the START menu.

2.            Second from the top menu [Power Options] left click

3.            Power & Sleep screen, right side left click [Additional power settings]

4.            Choose High Performance, then click [Change plan settings] on the right-hand side

Otherwise what @Intrepido said uninstall ALL nVidia programs and start at the nvidia website login and download GeForce from there

Norfolk.

Yes i am running in high performance. And i did install the geforce experience yesterday so i don't know what to do.

Correct.

My office laptop has both Intel HD and a Nvidia.

Latest Experience allows the selection of which GPU to use for that specific "game".

I did reinstall windows yesterday. I then install geforce experience. Install the latest drivers for the 940mx.

Geforce experience don't recognize naval action. I hit for search games and nothing.

The moment i disabled the integrated graphics card my monitor resolution got worse, and i couldn't acess the nvidia control panel , but wasn't supposed to use the 940mx?

This is #FakeNews

You can undock in warships, but you can't dock. Buying crew is allowed. Buy crew and undock, sail home.

No i can't.

What i found now is if i put the ship i bought in the fleet i can use my free crew and put stuff in her cargo, but if i wanted to use her as my first ship i can't crew , i can't equip her. And now it says i can't move the ship to the docks. So i am stuck in having her in my fleet.

Now i used 170 crew on her and left 30. I don't know if i press sail i will go out swimming lol or if in a basic cutter so i left 30 crew in the reserve for that situation.

"UPDATE'

I bought a basic cutter and now i can put crew on her and suprise! i can equip her but with the frigate the game didn't allow me.

Low settings on both i had 15 fps. With this i got to the conclusion that naval action is playing only with my integrated graphics card. I search on google and it appears to be a problem with games running on steam.

Doesn't matter what i do in the nvidia control panel , steam always force NA to run in the integrated graphics card. And i can't find a solution anywhere.

Sorry for my poor english.

July 20, 2018

I am doing trades between my capital and an important harbor in enemy territory. There i notice there is 5th rate with a 80k price tag.

So in the next journey i bought a Lynx trader just for me to get there , buy the frigate and come home.

I got there i sold the Lynx, i bought the frigate.

But suprise i can't recruit crew.

I can't build an outpost in enemy harbor.

I can't tow the ship to my capital because i don't have an outpost.

So i am stuck?

And if it is impossible for players to buy ships in enemy harbors and sail with them why it shows them to sell? This information should be invisible to foreigners players.

I don't know what to do.

Hi Captains

We are almost finished with the port UI and plan to deploy it soon.

Here is some information on the mission system that will be updated over next 2-3 patches (probably starting with the port UI patch)

Operations
Operations is a set of objectives that must be fulfilled to receive a big reward

Every player will have to start with the Welcome to the Caribbean operation that will unlock subsequent events and missions

Conquest operations will be introduced giving nations specific timed goals (asking to capture a region, a city or an island)

Combat missions
More variety will be added to combat missions. Unnecessary mission ranks will be removed

OW hunt missions will be added

Some missions will require you to sail a specific ship looking for a specific target

Some missions will require you to find a specific good in the holds of the enemies.

Economy missions
Delivery missions will return

Ship crafting and cannon crafting missions will be added

Port Agent system
We will start with 3 agents per port

Missions will depend on port size and maybe taxes

Player can exhaust all tasks in the port and will have to move to a new one

Challenges will return in the improved form
First challenge will be an OW hunt weekly challenge

Tournaments
We will start with the duel tournament based on Sea Legends Duel Event

Next patch you can definitely expect an improved variety of combat missions, combat challenges and a weekend duel tournament could also get in.

As usual we are showing the preview from the new port UI - Here is a login screen draft

Improved speed and quality of development can definitely be attributed to @sterner who is now helping to oversee the production before release.

Still a new player in my first week in NA and i must say i am loving the game. I like the news about the coming patch.

However i am having a problem with the graphics quality. I have a dell inspiron 7560 I5 8gb ram 940mx ddr5 4gb and i played wows with 30 - 23 fps at medium quality. In NA i need to play in low and cap at 15 fps. So i ask this:

- Can we have a low quality water settings but with a darker blue? Or maybe just an option to tweak the water color? Or a new water setting between the low and medium with almost the medium quality but with less polygons?

- An option to get low quality trees to save fps.

- An option to disable crew.

- There is a bug with the shadow settings. I can set them to low and off and they will always turn on when i enter in OW.

Thank you.
