Small Graphic problem: particle spray

[daryl]

Hi all!
so, i can't see the particle spray when robots or vehicles are building a base.
the particle spray appear and disappear during the play.
It is the same for laser weapons.
i'm using windows xp ( media center) with sP3 and ATI Radeon x1300 with 8.5 ATI drivers.

so there is a solution??
( i don't found nothing about this! )

bye bye

isn´t it the maxparticles stuff then?
i have them on 100, and if there are some more objects that using particles then i dont get nano particles then.

Here are my theories:

• You've ran out of energy and dont have enough resources to build things or fire weapons - Build more solar collectors/windgenerators/fusion reactions/tidals/etc
• Your max particle count is very low - Raise it in settings.exe
• Your drivers are horrific - The particles are there but your machine refuses to draw them onto the screen, in this case I would post details about your system specs, especially what graphics card you have or if you have a graphics card at all.
• A possible bug in spring - Please download the latest development build and start a single player game to test if this bug also occurs in the newest experimental version.

so i always played TA spring withouth graphics problems.
i found this problems only "now" with this last version of TA.
my "max simultaneous particles" is setted to 5000.
i think the problem is: drivers or bug...

erm, Total Annihilation doesn't have a max particle setting

You're calling Spring TA, Spring isn't TA.

aah ok... TA = old game, Spring = remake.. sorry
i mean SPRING!.

Careful, the forum wolves will eat you alive if you say such things, even if they seem obvious.

spring != remake
spring != game
spring != TA
spring != TA in 3d
spring == game engine
games != game engine
BA == modified TA in 3d running under spring engine
XTA == modified TA in 3d
BA == game
XTA == game
game != spring
BA != spring
spring != XTA

Now lets all have a cup of tea and some biscuits =p

[LordMatt]

Spring + BA = TA Remake

thx!

i solved problems by setting driver option (x1300) to full quality!
now i see all the particle!
