[NEED HELP] How to turn off some video effect.

[lonelycaptain]

Hello every body.
I have just install the game, in my pathetic PC which only meet mininum requirements of course, however, the game work great <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="buds.gif" /> until I night come and the city/town... turn their light on, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> . It seem my PC greatly slow down because of light effect.
Could you help me turn off light effect ?
(I already turn all setting to mininum)

What happens if you use the Config.exe file and take down the texture quality and resolution to the minimum level?

I already take down the texture qualityy and resolution to the mininum level, but when night fall, my pc freeze <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Do you have any modpacks installed? I'm not quite sure how you could take down the system requirements even further.
You can try to experiment with the values in engine.ini, like Fred Bob suggests... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

(BACK UP ANY FILE YOU CHANGE)
In Program\Weather\init open the Night.c file with notepad and search (ctrl+f) for the line
Weathers[n].Stars.Enable
They all are set to true, change them all to false (there are 6 instances). This will clear up all the slowdown. The stars are too small anyway and are not worth the hit to your framerate.

Alternately, if you don't have any framerate problems at night, change the
Weathers[n].Stars.Size
from 25 to 50 to make it look ALOT better. It may cause slowdown though.

I'll post this in a new topic. (came here just to do that and saw someone else having the same problem <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> )
