"New maps, new pr0blems.." as title? There is a very good reason that "problem" is not allowed. Please try to find a GOOD title which TELLS us what the thread is ACTUALLY about. Can't be that hard. Fixed that for you /DC
Some of the new maps have a lot more decoration (sprites and decals) which has a negative impact on rendering performance.
There's currently no direct way to tackle that problem. I already considered to implement a checkbox to disable decoration-only sprites for low-end systems. I can't tell you though if I'll actually do that (or when). It's not a trivial change because existing maps would have to be adjusted (flag decoration sprites as decoration) to make such a feature work properly
There are some general approaches to improve performance though:
disable (advanced) light, shadow and rader try OpenGL/DirectX in win/fullscreen (performance can vary A LOT) update your system (especially latest video card drivers!)
Having 30/40 framerate isn't that problematic unless it gets lower or even worse. You should consider upgrading your graphics card with a newer one if your motherboard allows it to.
@ Casper-: That would probably work but he'll get errors when starting the map locally and when he joins a server he should receive the missing files via file transfers so it wouldn't help to delete them.
