why does my weather setting keep turning itself off after about 30 seconds

[TheJamsh]

im palying fleshstorm, and on the first mission and mosdt liklely all subsequent missions i turn the weather ON in the ESC menu and it comes on

however i play the game for about 1 minute and it stops showing the weather effects, even though the ESC menu setting is still on.

whats wrong with it?

Perhaps the 1.3 "don't let your framerate get killed" code is activating? I believe that High Shadow Detail, weather, local fog and reflections are the first few to die by default.

I thought that settind defaults to false for single player but can't be disabled for multiplayer.

That may be true, but for all I know he has it turned on.

Just throwing it out here, but maybe rain.onperiod (<-- I think that's what it is...) is forcing the rain to only be on for a minute? Does it ever turn back on? Maybe it has a long offperiod and a short onperiod.

is it doing anything else...erm, wierd?

like stretching the sky, screwing with cockpit textures, etc..?

That sounds like a weather cycle...

[bigbadbogie]

if rain.offperiod = 0 then rain never stops

[TheJamsh]

well, it starts and stops, but hm maybe you guys are right. just anoying more than anything, spoils the mission

[Feared_1]

Really? I always believed that the weather cycles made games seem more real. They give "life" to the map.

[TheJamsh]

well not liek this, it just suddenyl stops raining, the wind dissapears and the sky goes brighter

not very liflike or realistic, the weather would be amazing if it didnt keep doign that

[bigbadbogie]

that means that the maps rain.tranPeriod = 0

[General BlackDragon]

is embm bump mapping off in ur graphics options?

[TheJamsh]

nope tis on

[Nielk1]

Turn it off
