Where are my weapon debris effects?

Post » Sun Jan 17, 2016 4:49 pm

I wanted to try out those new weapon debris effects and I've enabled them in the options but I don't see anything. I tried shooting at both concrete and wood. I DO have an Nvidia card, although it's admittedly underpowered for this game (GTX 560M). But I should still be able to see the effect, right? Am I missing something?

I don't know. Maybe that affects high end PC GPUs only with quite a lot of power.



Try to raise the quallty settings! (of course you have a Laptop GPU, so it may related to this)



You can see here a demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwPRGcubb4k



Mute the audio and just watch the video! lol

Yes, I've raised the settings to ultra, including the weapon debris setting. I've got the latest Nvidia drivers. Only thing I can think of is maybe it just doesn't enable on lower-end GPUs like mine. But that would be stupid. It's my business whether I want to see if it will run or not, just like any other graphical feature. Only mod I have installed is Enboost and I uninstalled it. Still doesn't work.



Did you guys have to start a new character for it to work or something?

No, it should work straight off. I suspect it relies on some functionality that isn't supported by your card.

Did a little looking around. Now I may be wrong but it seems Nvidia Flex ( effect used for the weapon fx ) requires a Kepler or newer gpu ( 600 series and up ) so you may be out of luck.
