santafee 10 Posted September 19, 2009 Ok,i must say i really love all the good addons,but it looks like many of them lower the performance in a very bad way. I use this Mods: Cba Fire and Smoke Many different Units Mods Vop2.1 Landtex1.0 The Game feels so much smoother without all that stuff.I know that Landtex may be one of the most critical addons,cause it changes textures of the game,but what do you think,are other Mods,like soundmods and unitsmods causing a performance problem cause of the just load in or something like that.For now i will continue playing without all the stuff,cause for me it just feels so much cleaner and smoother...

Flash Thunder 10 Posted September 19, 2009 Well I use Kju's Proper Low Vegetation mod this mod actually gave me 10FPS more, so you should go ahead and use that mod, and the graphics look the same. I haven't noticed any change in preformance with LandTex all I know is that the textures look like shite without it. Fire and Smoke could cause some issues since they're complex animations and scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex72 1 Posted September 19, 2009 The JTD fire & smoke would be the one lowering your FPS when several forest fires break out. Open up the HPP file that came with the JTD addon (Located in your DTA folder), and change the values. //Forest fire maximum concurrent fires allowed.#define JTD_MaxFires 5 //Smoke_lifetime_Particle - The multiplier for particle lifetime, affects how long each particle hangs around. #define JTD_Smoke_Lifetime_Particle 0.5 //Smoke_lifetime_Source - The multiplier for smoke source lifetime, affects how long vehicles burn. #define JTD_Smoke_Lifetime_Source 0.5 Change yours to the above. I have it like that when i play missions with tons of action. If i let the original values stand i recieve a lot of lag as well due to so many smoke pillars and fire everywhere. Dont worry it will still look great. EDIT: LandTex does not reduce performance. EDIT2: I use about 500% more addons than that, and i have no performance issues. Not less performance than without them. ;) Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
