[Cactus In The Rear]

I have had some trouble with the steam that appears when your mech gets hot reducing my FPS is there any way to remove it? User.cfg maybe?

For clarity I am talking about the steam that comes out of your mech when it gets hot and is most noticeable when you back up after firing. I'll get a screen shot up if i can get a good one.

... O_O I need a new graphics card, what steam?

I think it only comes when particles are set to high and its the only thing i have a problem with FPS wise.

[Thorqemada]

particles to low in the settings i guess

I would do that but PPCs look like crap when i do I am hoping for a way to just get the steam gone as the rest is fine.

LOL - Do what I do and learn to not walk backwards. As long as you move forward steam will not effect your fps...

Actually, particles on medium show steam.

Also, don't shoot as much and you won't let off steam.

CHOOSE YOU MUST

either slow and steamy, or your mech has a jellyfish cannon!

I have Radeeon hd 7050 X2 and I get like 5 FPS with steam. This is a serious bug.

[Maxx Blue]

My FPS tends to tank if I back through my own steam as well. Maybe it is CPU related and not GPU. I've got an R290x, but only a slightly OC'd Core i5. Either way, it is a pain.

They need to reduce the frequency and # of particles being used when you overheat, it doesn't need to be that intense of an effect.

as well as reduce the splash, flash and shake of being hit and blinding us on the cockpit....

My wife giggles every time she shoots a PPC, simply because it's the jellyfish cannon. Makes me laugh as well because she has so much fun shooting it lol

I have everything set to Very high or high, running a nVidia 750ti with 1920 x 1080 resolution. I ALWAYS run at 60 fps unless there is a lot going on around me... Or I poke up to fire both PPC's in my stalker and walk backwards. It lags horribly and its the only time it does it.
I understand it's for realism. It obscures my view making myself feel like I'm piloting a mech, which it should. More piloty goodness, less particle lag please

Yes this has cost me dearly many times. I fire 1or 2 PPC's...try to back away only to have my FPS take a massive dive. Try walking up to a rock and shoot it with lasers point blank. Watch your fps drop. I think it's worth looking into.

Set particles to one higher than low... Then you don't get the terrible PPC and gauss rendering, but it basically turns off everything else.

Are you using DX11? If so, stop.

[Toothless]

All of my settings are maxed out and I get 50-60fps except particles. It has to be on Low or my FPS tanks down to the 20's, its rough.
