How do I disable weapon flashes and other spectacular lighti

Post by terrible »

I am troubleshooting the game on a windows 7 machine with intel onboard graphics. The games frame rate is fine until I use a gun with a noticeable weapon flash. Also the enemy's with exploding tanks on their backs cause frame rate issues.

Is this something I can disable in config file? If so which listing would it likely be under.

Thanks

By targeting specifically the description. These are the commands which will disable what you mentioned. You can either enter them into the console or use an autoexec file to load these 3 cvars when you open the game.

Code: Select all

gl_dlightintensity "0"
gl_dynamic "0"
gl_effectfill "0"

I could not find the dynamic config entry. Perhaps it was for an older edition.

I am beginning to realize that maybe it is not just the lighting. This is going to sound strange but SOF runs fairly decently for about 10 minutes then the game starts to slow until its pretty much crawling. It is as if the SOF's visual cache (if there is such a thing) is not being dumped. It could be the fire fights are more intense later in a level but on the level in Serbia I was crouched next to a snow bank and the game could barely load the idle weapon animations and this was 10 minutes into the level. It is not just that level. Has anyone heard of this?

What about "cl_freezequads 1" Acadie?

If you can't find your config.cfg, chances are you installed in Program Files 0x86) and your user folder is in AppData folder.

Do you have issues playing any other game/ s?
How did you install SoF (what files/ media did you use?)
Little bit about your system (CPU, RAM, Vid Card, power supply and OS)

Sounds like there are other issues.

It is being dumped after it hits cl_max_quads/cl_max_debris limit.
Siberia is bugged because of smoke from a tank.
