Surface FX

[SelectHalfling0]

So I'm in the game settings re-adjusting for my computer and their is a button called surface fx. Does anyone know what that does?

I assume it's the smoke and other effects that you see when your rocket is firing its engines close to the ground.

This effect really bogs down my mediocre PC, but when I try to turn it off, either pressing apply, and accept, or just accept, it stays on and when I go back into graphics settings the surface fx is enabled. I can't turn it off! So my game is terribly slow. Is there a workaround?

You can either remove the surfaceFX reference from the engine .cfgs, or deactivate it like so:

	//MODULE
	//{
		//name = ModuleSurfaceFX
		//thrustProviderModuleIndex = 0
		//fxMax = 1
		//maxDistance = 80
		//falloff = 2
		//thrustTransformName = thrustTransform
	//}
