  • Recent FPS-hit with smoke/fire/particle effects?

    Anyone have an idea as to what would cause a relatively sudden, dramatic hit in FPS during situations with fire/smoke/explosions? I've deleted the cache files and forced re-optimization. Textures are set to med and dynamic lighting stuff is low. I suppose I could drop textures to low, but I never had to before.

    I recently installed the sandbox mod, but other than that, my system has been free of software or hardware changes.

    It's really bad when Jalalalalalalabad loads and you see the hotel on fire. Until the round starts, the whole environment is laggy, even mousing movement.

    FWIW, I always had an FPS hit during these scenes, but lately it's been *much* worse than ever before.

      3800+ X2, 2GB ram, lowly 6800GT, dx9, fw91.47.

      The card is outdated, but it ran ok recently. I just changed all the lighting stuff to low and it helped a bit.
