Starshell spam...GWX mod used

CWorth · 03-06-10, 03:54 AM

I submerged and attacked a task force of 1 destroyer and I think it was 2 auxiliary cruisers.

I fired at the destroyer first then at the 2 cruisers.Hit the destroyer and he started spamming starshells toward my area.

My computer literally came to a crawl.There had to be at least 30+ shells up there and looked like a miniature sun sitting above the water.

Is there any way to stop this or fix it so the AI fire a lot less starshells at the same time?

That's weird! I've never seen anything like that!

We can reduce the number of Star Shells carried by any given Unit.
And We did do so in GWX 3.

But there is still a wild factor that we can not control.
Mostly that is your system specs now days.
But you could have hit a bad Star Shell event also.

I hate those type events!

That's what I figured it was.

Starshells as a whole are not an issue as my computer can handle them...when the AI spazzes out and fires off 30 of them into the same spot rapid fire style it gets a bit slow running.

So I guess I can chalk it up to the AI spazzing out for that particular event.

LOL I hit a convoy last night in bad weather and they did that. Thre must have been 25 start shells in two clusters in the sky. Looked like a UFO invasion!

Did not affect my computer performance though.
