Spore Visual Effect Is A Bit Out Of Hand

[Soup2504]

 

I mean. I guess it affects performance so I'll put it in here but. seriously this is kinda ridiculous (and hilarious to watch). Obviously this would happen mostly if using a melee weapon with saryn's third. Guns it might not be as bad. but jfc

the spore effects are not physx particles. They're the new particle system they introduced a while back for non-nvidia users/console users. The heavy gunner slam particles are physx, though.

We've been able to reproduce this here at the office, and the effect should be improved in our next hotfix.

Not sure if it matters, but even before the rework, the spores being cast and exploded would usually lead to big performance drops, even when you weren't directly looking at them (though with a smaller impact on performance when you weren't looking but noticeable drops).

You should try spore on like 10 juggernauts in the simulacrum.

 

It'll continuously proc under the toxic rain - cue lag fest
