Scourge of War Boards

Norb/Team,

Is there any way to turn off the Bliss Farm fire on the Picketts Charge map? I was trying to figure out why my troops were moving so slowly all of a sudden. I don't use this map very often so it took me a while to get it. The burning buildings must consume, ( :laugh: ), a fair amount of memory or what-not. I already have the buildings turned down on the "Options" page. Thoughts?

..... and I'd be interested to know if you thought removing the fire had much, if any, effect on performance.

DaV,

Yes, that worked.

Bedbug,

Will run a few games past it to test and let you know.

Bedbug,

There is definitely a change for the better with the fire and smoke turned off.

Great news

Bed,

I run a relatively old Dell 2350 Comp, w/an ATI HD 2400 card installed. I have to turn down the options as much as possible to play. It does run the game though, both SP and MP.

I have a relatively new computer (about 3 months old) and I see no slow-down at all when the the fire is blazing! However, I have yet to figure out on how to turn the fragrant aroma of burning wood!

In theory there should be almost no difference with the fire on or off. The main hog is the sprites followed by the vegitation. The vegitation can be tweaked on-the-fly ingame by toggeling the "T" key and this will give you several levels of fps pickup.
