Explosions still cause problems in VR (any way to tweak them?)

[Wolf8312]

Massive rocket barrages with the Viggen can cause performance problems if combined with another explosion (my death) and can result one of those god awful steam VR flashes (momentary flash out of and back into VR)! Still very annoying that we should be getting these flashes.

 

I really hope explosions will be better optimized soon as they are vastly improved than they used to be, but it can ruin the experience if you get one of those flashes and means I have to basically avoid using certain weapons in VR. Massive prolonged explosions are basically hit and miss performance wise.

 

Is there not some way to manually tweak explosions so they dont cause so many performance problems?

Sadly big bombings and multi explosions are still causing steam loading screen flashes. Really annoying that VIVE users have to put up with this. Turning graphics settings down as low as possible or even a temporary overclock of my CPU (4770) didnt improve matters. Did I hear that explosions will be reworked for the new engine? Anyone know if that means they will be better optimized? Apart from the bombings its running very smooth now clouds and all but its frustrating as it basically means I need to avoid bombing now!

 

Its only a little flash but sometimes when I fly hard into the ground it can be a very prolonged steam loading screen flash. I'm hoping it will get sorted out, but starting to wish (not for the first time) that I went with a rift, as Rift users dont seem to have to deal with this nonsense! There is nothing more immersion breaking than flashing back into the steam loading screen when your supposed to be flying a plane!
