"too many particles" -> small lags on "oriental medium"
« on: September 14, 2009, 07:48:43 pm »
i've eperienced some small "lags" on the above mentioned map (mostly after the start, and no, other maps didn't have those lags), a look into the ufoconsole.log showed hundrets of error messages like this:
"Too many particles (don't add burnFlame2) - exceeded 2048
PC_SPAWN: Could not spawn child particle for 'crashsite_fire'"

r26164

Win 7 x86 RC, Geforce 9600M GT, Core 2 Duo P8400, 4GB RAM (or 3.xGB <- 32-bit)

I can confirm this flooding for fighter_crash.map and a different configuration (i7, Vista).

Doesn't happen all the time, but very often on this map.

maybe a bug in the particle definition for burnFlame or burnFlame2

Seems I don't get that anymore on fighter_crash.map :)
Did anyone solve it ?

the particle was tweaked - maybe that already fixed the problem
