Something overamplifies your glowpoint lighting. I don't remember which one of the command line flag is responsible, I think it's -spec_point. Try setting it to a low value like 0.1.

[Ranger1]

That did it.  Dropped it to 0.5 and it looks pretty good.  For some reason the new build exe jacked it up to 8.6(wow).

[Jellyfish]

For some reason, firing a long burst of Balor cuts my FPS. In half.

[Phantom Hoover]

Try turning shadows off with -shadow_quality 0 if you haven't already.

[Jellyfish]

Done. Still half FPS.

[The E]

That's because of the fact that the Balor spawns a lot of projectiles, which in turn spawn a lot of lights, which all have to be processed.

[Jellyfish]

So I have to -nospec?

[The E]

No, it's just a thing where the code has to get optimized a bit.

[Jellyfish]

So I'm screwed

[QuakeIV]

Doubtful that you are screwed, this is still pre-alpha electric boogaloo so far as I can tell.

Hi,
I noticed when i play WiH1 with the new BPBuild, the lightning is way darker than before, is this normal?
Must i use new flag settings for the BPBuild and WiH?
Currently my flags are: -spec -glow -env -normal -ambient_factor 75 -spec_exp 11 -spec_point 1.0 -spec_static 1.0 -spec_tube 0.7 -ogl_spec 60 -bloom_intensity 70 -shadow_quality 1

[MatthTheGeek]

Lighting has always been dark in WiH missions. Don't hesitate to crank ambient lighting all the way up to 180 or 200, depending on the missions, if you want to see anything.

WHY!!! OH WHY!!!

Is there a way to tone down the glow points? On the Aurora, I only get about 17 fps in the new BP, whereas on the older BP, I got 60 fps.

Have you tried -shadow_quality 0? Add it to your launcher's command line.

[SpardaSon21]

VALATHIIIIIILLLL!!!

[knossosfs2]

@Battuta Yeah I did that already, and it helped a little bit. The glow points really kill my computer though. I went into the F3 tech room and turned off the glow points in the render options and the fps jumped to 30, which is still not the max fps that I had on the older BP, but is still tolerable.

[General Battuta]

Uh oh.

[knossosfs2]

What?
