Hi all!
Is there some way I can disable gun flashes?
You know, the light show that you see in cockpit when your firing your bullets.....
The reason I ask, is I notice that my frames drop from 50-60 down to about 13-14 whenever I fire my guns. However whilst firing if i zoom in so I cant see the instruments anymore it goes right back up to about 55-60.
Also if i disable hardware vertex processing, the frame hit isnt as large...it only drops to about 35-40 whilst firing. The downside of disbaling that vertex processing is that it causes some really weird display anomalies when in water (e.g. Ship guns).....heres a pic:
PS: I have also tried reducing maxtex size to 128, disabling weapon and vehicle effects, moving sliders to min detail and max faster, ground detail slider to minimum, etc.etc. Only thing I found was that hardware vertex setting which made a difference.......any ideas?
Heres a partial DXDiag for those who can make heads or tails of it.......god knows I cant....
