Is there any ingame settings I could change to get rid of at least some of this terrible lag from smoke grenades? Every time some1 pops one off in front of my scope i drop to 5 fps or lower from the usual 60. I'm not running a shabby card either.




/slay "smoke throwers."
 
turn your resolution down, and graphics down is the only was to fix that.. unless people would stop throwing smoke. lol
 
i lag bad on smoke as well, i hate people who have their smoke turned off which I consider cheating
 
Oh god almighty how I hate smoke...it makes me sad inside. And people throw it at such inopportune times. Like when I'm trying to shoot someone from the courtyard in kalt who has already seen me. POOF smoke, and then I can't hardly move and I surely can't see...so essentially in most situations if someone throws smoke I'm dead lol. However if resolution is a problem then that might be my issue, I refuse to change it, but right now I run 1330x768, but it's also on a 32 inch tv, so if I change it it'll look icky. But I might be getting a new computer in the next few months, so hopefully that will change.
 
Go I hate it. The worst is when I'm playing on like a custom orange map and the other team decides to spam the spawn with smoke and frags. Lagging because of the smoke and my screens all screwed because of the blast from the nade. AAAHHHH
 
ever since I upgraded my video card I never get any lag from DOD (unless it's a server side lag), I just hate it when we have people who don't know when to pop smoke on both teams. i also hate it when a person on my pops smoke in my screen. I mean seriously..........
 
i know of a lot of servers that ban smokes from being used...dont think that is a good idea...as it takes away a strategical point of the game....but there is a lot of lag that comes with the use of smokes sometimes unfortunately...i dont seem to lag with smokes in dods though...just css for whatever reason
 
Well, I as a sniper will save you from more mgs and other snipers than any smoke grenade will.
 
lol.. when i am snipering through smoke it lags terrible! but when i zoom out! it does not lag at all!
 
:facewall:

smoke makes me sad... my fps drop to 2... :facewall:

!slaysmokethrowers :chair:


:P
 
dont know why but when someone pops a smoke i just turn/run in the opposite direction and dont lag as much if any. maybe that will help
 
I used to get real bad lag from smoke, but since I got a 4870, I never lag any more. Also, a lot of it is contributed to Source's particle engine. Every individual particle has it's own space in memory, as opposed to having "mirrored" particles in newer particle engines.
 
Smoke only becomes an issue for me when I try to look through it with a sniper sight or iron sights.
 
its an accepted fact smoke grenades cause lag. you know what this tells players? STAY AWAY FROM RUNNING THROUGH THE SMOKE. for obvious reasons.

1.) you cant see jack ____.
2.) you lag terribly and as a result probably wont be able to kill anyone once you exit from the smoke.

so the next time you see a smoke grenade, you know what you do? find a convenient hiding spot from the numerous frag grenades probably obscured inside of that cloud of smoke.
