Flaming, floating fireballs... of DOOM!
« on: July 23, 2010, 08:45:24 AM »

In the zombies mod, when the artillery is used, it leaves behind these floating, smoky fireballs I can't see through and I lag really bad when I walk through them. Easy fix, just don't walk through them, right? But they're everywhere! And apparently I'm the only one who can see them...

They're everywhere.Tails doesn't see the fireballs.And I can't see through them.
                              


Walking through one.Grand Canyon.Zombies on the right, Tails somewhere on the left...
                              


And totally blind in the middle.Not that I spend lots of time standing in them. :P
               
.Or try not to anyway. :doh:


Sometimes the smoke clears away from them and all that's left are floating flames. I see those in regular COD after someone's thrown a smoke grenade, and those have the same effect - I lag when I walk through them. I think I've heard people complaining about those, and since misery loves company, I'm glad. ;D

So yes, now you see what I have to deal with. Sympathy please. Why am I the only one who sees them?! Grr.

Don't panic Jane, You're not the only one afflicted by this misery.

i hate when people use artillery, because I am bathed in plumes of smoke and cannot see anything except the odd shadow of a zombie as it chomps down on my arm.

You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

Thanks to Spidey for this sig!                                                                                                                  .

My settings are as low as they go. But I'm pleased to know that others suffer as well. ;D

My settings are very high and I don't have any fireballs, so not sure about them.  I do get the smoke though, except it looks more like smoke, not the misty fog here.

I hate the artillery as well but you don't have much of a choice if it hauls you up, lol.  I do try to aim away from the players I can see, because I know what its like to bump into a Macron in the dense smoke :(

Is Grand Canyon a new map I don't have yet?  Looks really really cool!

Time is free, but it's priceless.  You can't ownit, but you can use it.  You can't keep it, but you can spend it.  Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

The grand canyon map is coming soon, and I feel bad for the guy who's too far from the ammo drops... Word has it there'll be donkey rides.

I used to not shoot the artillery to keep the fireballs out of everyone's way, until I found that not many people see them. Now I shoot as fast as I can. I know the AC130 smoke affects everyone and I don't shoot those unless no one's in the area.

It is not only the zombie mod. When I play normal COD4 it happens to me too and I have a mixture in settings (good looking by good performance).

There they are again! Here's a delightful video showcasing these charming smokeballs that hinder my game so. Mind not my poor shooting, I was trying to get into the smokeballs and wasn't aiming as well as I usually do. I'm not kidding, I pretty much rock when it comes to shooting. Seriously. 

:giggle:

Oh, there is no sound in this video.

Watch at :50 sec when the zombie emerges from the smokeball, and at :40 sec that really is our Enoch playing COD.

And Ben, I'm pretty sure it's my integrated graphics, it's a wonder I can run the game at all!
