Hi

This to me is strange. When a practise session starts dry but with a probability of rain the CPU usage in much higher. It may start at 120% even though the sky is blue. I expect higher cpu when raining with the extra reflections etc but to be so bad before it even rains is beyond me.

Why can't my system cope with potential rain situations? It isn't much better when wet. Starts are awful. When it's dry my system is quick. I can't see it being a graphics cars problem as I'm running a 128 Radion.

Anyone any idea? I have to run all seasons with 0% rain chance by editing the md file. A little boring though.

Many Thanks

Mark

Hi I noticed this on my old pc. even with blue sky the PO was high. I'll say a stupidity but it's like setting the rain chance to zero the game disable it and the PO benefit of it while every minimal chance make that procedure works anyway too...

beta opinion... :)

It is because of the dynamic sky textures. When rain chance is set to 0%, the sky texture is fixed and PO gets lower.
