Lixma 06 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Sorry, BM, I was trying to be funny but I think I came across as being snarky towards you which wasn't my intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Tbh, indeed, that's how I got it but language barriers dont always carry a joke along LoL. Anyway, I have done some tests with this some weeks/months ago and yes, there is a very brief fps drop, takes 2-3 seconds to recover and get back to 60. Nothing you can do but ,maybe set Cockpit Res. to any value BUT NOT every frame. I think that has the most impact on th Shkval showing the smoke trail etc.. As long as you shoot from a hidden position or fly very conservative ( which you should while beaming riding a Vikhr ) the drop is bad but not dramatic for gameplay. Still, if you list your specs and settings people will be much more willing and capable of helping you ;) Have a great weekend, sometimes things go just wrong without wanting it, it's all good !

Drag80 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I dont think its a bug. Factors contributing towards fps drop. 1 - The smoke of vickher missile. smoke eats up fps. 2 - The TV inside the cockpit eats up the fps bcoz its sort of another simulation inside a simulation. 3 - Lots of additional calculations are going on in the background after firing a missile. 4 - Lower altitudes will always be heavy on fps. 5 - explosions, fire and smoke will drop fps.

Regards, No it's the smoke, tested it tonight, would be awesome to have a smoke slider. When you hover over the ground the dust fps tanks badly. 4.8 I7, 1080, TMW&T, SSD, VKB MK.IV.
