Massive lag when firing flamethrower

[Jez]

I've been playing UFO AI since around 2.2, so I know that using the flamethrower has usually been associated with a dip in framerate. In 2.4 however, my FPS drops from a steady 47 to 2, and then to less than 1, so much so that it feels like the game is going to freeze every time I use it. A lesser but similar effect is also apparent when firing other guns, I think it has something do with dynamic lighting.

I'm running Windows 7 64bit with an i5-760 and an Nvidia 560 Ti if that helps.

Cheers, Jez.

UPDATE: Yep, disabling dynamic lighting seems to have fixed the problem with a steady framerate during weapon firing now. Sorry all.

hi. you also should provide the game logs to see what the game detected.

Hmmm its unlikely the cause of the fps drop is your processor or your graphic card. My sys specs are a bit lower than yours and i havnt noticed any problems with dynamic lightning (max light sources).
