Relieving stutters in Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments
By Frugl
By default Crimes and Punishments comes configured with a fairly low texture streaming pool size, resulting in a stuttery game experience, even on a high end system. This guide explains how to alter the size of the streaming pool by editing a single .ini file.

Navigating to the configuration folder
You should be able to locate the Sherlock Holmes save folder at the following path:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sherlock Holmes - Crimes and Punishments\SH7Game\Config

Ideally you'll want this size to be a reasonable chunk of your available VRAM in megabytes, while still leaving memory for other applications on your system.

Make sure to save the edits, and start enjoying a smoother gameplay experience!

Another fix you could include in this guide that fixed a shadow flickering issue for me:

Right click on the game on the steam library -> properties -> set launch options -> -dx9

It is especially noticeable on the garden of the first case, where shadows on the plants flickered non-stop. It should be resolved with your fix and this one.
