Blood lag glitch!

[colt129]

I run Overgrowth fine on my PC, but whenever any of the blood effects come into play, I start lagging insanely, around 1 FPS. If anyone knows of a possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, cheers.

Please mates! If you know anything about this or are having a similar experience, please respond! It would be a big help. I've tried all the fixes I can think of.

It isn't a glitch. Blood simply drops frames. That's how it works.

Really? :'(
I guess I just can't play the game then. Aww, this seems like it's such a nice game though. It's wierd because I run the game at 30-60 FPS usually. Shit happens man, I hope Wolfire does good things with my 30 dollars. You guys rock.

I mean, that's how it's always been in games. You can try lowering settings and I think there's a mod to get rid of blood entirely. And stick around. Hopefully Wolfire will fix things like this later on. Right now it doesn't run like it will later on.
So basically, stick around and find out how the game is later on.

You can disable the blood in the game you know. SUMlauncher is the best thing to use to change graphics settings.

Uh, mate, sorry for being a bit suspicious, but have you actually preordered the game?
I don't see that nifty preorder tag under your avatar. Questions like that belong here, so if you have preordered the game you should do this and look around there. It's a pretty awesome place. You can get help quickly for many problems and there's tons of community content like maps and models too.

Regarding the frame rate drop: the game is not optimised yet. The blood effects aren't either and so they can put a lot of stress on the system. The blood can be deactivated, though.

For some reason, I thought this was in the SPF. I also thought I saw the preorder tag under his name.
Damn. How was I that unaware? :P

Here's the instructions for getting into SPF. Once you've got the preorder tag, look for the SUMLauncher sticky thread. It helps you download mods, update the game, and can do stuff like disabling blood, as was mentioned.
