Explosions after Savegameload

posted on May 24th, 2009, 8:57 pm

Let me introduce:
The enemy Base after I reload one of my savegames. Around 30 min after I destroeyd it.

When the Fog of War disapears every explosion happend in the game is shown.
Its annoying.

and after some time this "explosions" disappear.

I have the same problem with my savegames.  Currently playing 3.0.6, never had it before.

Would be interesting to know if it will be fixed some time.

Just asking out of curiosity : is it a problem mostly of custom maps, or am I mislead by my observations?

Maxi wrote that after some time this "explosions" will disappear.

Any idea how long one has to wait?

I have savegames after long and intense battles, so my maps are totally white in these areas and the game lags horribly.

you have to wait until 3.0.7, the issue has been found and fixed already

Great, hardly can wait.

I'm also on the list of "can't wait"s...my computer has a tough time with Fleet Ops sometimes anyways, and all of these frames of various explosions being rendered everywhere makes it a whole lot worse...to the tune of 4 frames per second at times (well, plus or minus whatever lag FRAPS is causing).

Anyone know if there's a workaround in the meantime?  Or a development-type patch until 3.07 full comes out?

Yes, its unaplayable 
FO is installed on my Asus eee pc900.
After i killed 20 ships its over.
It was very difficult to get some vet-ships.

The Explosions don´t disappear They surround my base
and I cannot do anything because of the lags.

The Problem is not so extreme, when I dont load a savegame,
but the performence slow down without these explosion-effects to.

this after loading the savegame:

Tried to fix it, but they said, they are working on the effects, so I guess
its not sod, odf or sprite Problem. I havent seen any Problem in these files.

Sorry for my bad english- I´m german...

Edit:
Really good work- i like FO! You are the best!

okay,
for all who have too much problems with this bug.
So this is a little help to play 3.0.6 until 3.0.7 is released.

remove ship/station explosion-effects

- go to the odf folder
- open x_no_explosion.odf
- copy all
- open all x_...explosion.odf files.
- delete everything and paste the text from x_no_explosion.odf
- then save.

You will have no ship-explosions anymore.
The bug dont slow down your system.

There are more explosion-effects in the weapon-odf. I had the bug with a romulan weapon i think.
But its not as bad as the ship-explosions!


Of course- if you damage your system- its your problem ;-)
