Title: New clouds
Post by: Spork on December 14, 2012, 03:33:56 PM

The new clouds have destroyed my frame rate. I have already turned cloud bump mapping off. In a cloudy area I go from 60 to 15. 10-11 when I have the bump mapping enabled. I was a smooth 60 before. Any way to go back to the old setting?

NO! The rest of us like them !!!   :devil









HTC has posted they are looking into why it eats framerates on some machines.

ndisles is the only terrain (unless HiTech did not tell me) where the new clouds could be seen.

Currently, ndisles is not loaded in any of the arenas.  If you are encountering clouds in an arena, and it is not ndisles, I would like to see a screen shot so I can see what clouds you are seeing.

OZKANSAS has clouds for a short time every ingame day.

I love them and suffer no framerate hit on a 3 year old machine. :aok

I'll have to find out why HiTech enabled them.  Should only be in one sector though (I hope).

In the meantime Spork, could I get a DXDIAG output?

Have only seen them on Ozkansas over TT and not anywhere else on the map. They look great.
