This is a total conversion mod for Empire at War / Forces of Corruption. It takes place right after the Battle of Geonosis in "Attack of the Clones". Replacing the Empire, Rebels and Zann Consortium with the Galactic Republic and Seperatist Alliance along with The Hutt Cartel, Pirates and Neutral Worlds.
The old lasers lagged the game really bad in space combat when you had lots of ships firing. I replaced the particle with an actual laser model and WOW, what an improvement. No lag during large space battles
really? weird it doesnt make any sense, 2d objects should use less system resources
Particles are often more than just 2D objects.
it´s probably because particles generate new and new 2D objects every second. additionally I assume that the continual creation of new 2D objects itself consumes a portion of the PC´s load...
