Kindred Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Guns strafing on ground targets, hits my fps real bad, sometimes to a point of un playability... Any tweaks you aware off? I remove 2 files on sound; ExplodeGround0 and ExplodeWater0, also remove the associated entries in sound.cfg. And Old tweak from the old days of version 1.0. Still works, helps a lot, but I still have issues… Intel 3Ghz LGA 775 3Gigs DDR400 BFG 6800GT (I know time to upgrade:cry:) Nvidia Drivers: NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver v1.9381 (x32) Assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Prophet Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Check your error.log If you remove the files, it will still try to load them. And since they arent there, it will write to the error.log and because of the access to HDD it will give lag. There was a mod that did the same, and I had this issue.
Pilotasso Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Its a known issue. The cause is realy bizarre, its the sound FX. High pitch frequence on the "poing" sound causes the slowdows. .

And since they arent there, it will write to the error.log and because of the access to HDD it will give lag. There was a mod that did the same, and I had this issue. Can you elaborate? I did remove the entries in the sound.cfg, basically it should not try to load them... Unless you know something I missed... Have you found a fix for this Prophet?

159th_Viper Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Try this - Navigate to your Bazar/Effects/Rendereffects/Shadows folder in the LockOn Directory and delete and/or re-name the following files: SmokeParticle.psh and SmokeParticle.vhs Needless to say, make a back-up before you proceed with the above;) Should then be able to strafe targets without the radical FPS drop. Cannot guarantee success but worth a shot:) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

ericinexile Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 So....did it work? Smokin' Hole My DCS wish list: Su25, Su30, Mi24, AH1, F/A-18C, Afghanistan ...and frankly, the flight sim world should stop at 1995.
