Hi

Is there any way to disable these clouds u sometimes get in missions? The graphics are really nice, but the clouds tend to drag my small laptop into a burning rage of fire.

Any ideas?

Try lowering the texture-setting.
Helped me a little bit on my old machine..
All in all, the in-battle performance since the patch is crap, even with mostly low settings, no shadows etc.
Dropping below 10 fps, before the patch i could set textures to medium, and the game still ran smoothly during missions.

Also, i would prefer a particle setting or something like it, specifically for the clouds. And a fix for that performance drop :/

Already fiddled with the texture settings?
Also, thinking about it: burning rage of fire, as in, the machine gets hot?
Might be totally unrelated, but a person i know had extreme heating problems on his intel i5 cpu laptop with minecraft, because the nvidia optimus drivers used the wrong graphics card (the one included into the cpu on sandybridge stuff or something like that, not the secondary nvidia card that was built in).
As i said, might be unrelated, but if it is indeed a heat problem, and you have that sort of cpu / graphics combo, you might try googling on how to use the nvidia card only, or wait for updated drivers for that optimus stuff from nvidia.

The clouds have always been a problem for me. I find turning hdr off does help a lot, but I would severly approve of the (optional) removal of clouds in mission sites. I would say completely, however, ladar sites...

Indeed, overall performances since Crucible deployed fall dramatically even on high end configuration, Expecting patch to enhance this issue !

I didn't feel this problem of performance when testing on SISI, what going on TQ ????

Yeah, I just noticed this happening last night, very painful. Hard to enjoy missions when my framerate (normally around 60 in space with high settings) drops down to 10 Shocked
