Blotchy Looking Smoke Problem?

hocking · 08-12-17, 01:24 PM

I am having trouble in GWX 3.0 with smoke appearing very Blotchy and unrealistic. After playing around a little bit I actually found that if I barely lift my periscope above the water line the smoke appears to look correct. However, as I raise my periscope further above the water line the smoke becomes very Blotchy and individual smoke blobs appear that look terrible. I have an unmodded SH3 install that does not have this issue using the default smoke. It is only happening in my fully modded SH3-GWX 3.0 install. Below is my mod soup from JSGME:

GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7
Extras for the Wilhelmshaven campaign v2.4c
TMT v2 with EFS (GWX3 version)
Add TMT ThomsonsShips fix
MFM-Improved

KB's Diesel Sound Mod
Torpedo damage Final ver2.0
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
OLC's Modified Searchlight Beams for GWX3

FSF for MEP v6
ShipVanishingHull for MEP v6
M.E.P v6- VisualSensors for GWX3

Sh3_volumetric_clouds&fog_V2.2

TorpedoSolutionButton for MaGui F (NYGM-GWX-WAC)
GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010
S3H-H.sie-Patch-V16B1
EnvSimAct_10

I also have HSIE's patch, 4GB fix, SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix_for_1.4b, and ImprovedSmoke1_1 installed as well. I continue to have this issue even when removing the ImprovedSmoke1_1 mod. I am running at 2560x1600 resolution. I also still have the blotchy looking smoke even when running at 1024x768.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
