gwx smoke

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Weebubba,

Welcome to Subsim! Here is your potato peeler. Fritz is waiting for you in the galley!

Can you post your system specs here please?

Actually, GWX removes ALL textures from the texture folder and repacks them in their respective .dat files. Unless the user adds new textures from other mods after installing GWX, the texture folder should be empty. This was done to improve performance... The game engine no longer needs to search multiple locations for graphic files.

Smoke is one of the elements in-game that place a high demand on the system... oil fires are even worse. Stock SH3 smoke actually creates more of a load on the system than the version used by GWX.

One way to fix it if your system is below recommended specs is to reduce the particle settings in the in-game SH3 user interface menus prior to loading missions. This in turn will lower the density of ALL particles rendered, and their demand on the system.
