Hi, I have attempted to replace the w4 models with lower tier models in order to increase fps in crowded areas. Setting effects in game to minimal does the trick but w4 effects don't get turned off so once an area gets crowded with players wearing w4 fps drops return. Replacing the bmd model results in a black bar under the model with the w4 effects still visible (pic related - w3 bmd replaced with w1 bmd). This leads me to believe the effects for w4 are separate from the models/textures. Since they are custom I'd like to ask where can I find and change these files? If they are just using flares from the effects folder, would removing/replacing those do the trick? Is there any non invasive way to remove the black bar?
