M. Bolt 10 Posted August 20, 2013 I don't know why but in Arma whenever I look at smoke, dust or other particle effects, my FPS drops from like 45-50 to about 5-10. If anyone's encountered this problem do you know how to fix it? I use blastcore visuals NVidia GTX670 Intel Core i7 3770 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orcinus 121 Posted August 22, 2013 Particles can place a heavy load on the CPU. Does the FPS drop happen without Blastcore loaded? If the vanilla game works fine when there are various things on fire, going bang, generating smoke, etc., then you should post in the Blastcore thread. I don't use Blastcore, however it may be possible to change the amount of particles generated if the addon has a UserConfig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kklownboy 43 Posted August 23, 2013 Blastcore will bog you. And no there isnt a .CFG to adjust. It can be bad depending on map, AA and resolution you run, relative to your Video RAM. Hey it happens, and I dont care, I like the effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
