So, I downloaded and am using the mod BFG 9500 addon for Brutal Doom. What I am trying to do is to remove so much of the lag that goes with the usage of this mod. It fires a nuke that explodes with a lot of smoke effects that spread out and linger, and I'd like to reduce the performance cost of this smoke through the GZDoom graphic options so as to keep the game running more smoothly. Any tips on this?

Re: Particle Effects Question
You cannot do that through the graphics options. The problem with this smoke lies elsewhere, i.e. the processing of the smoke elements, not the rendering. You'll have to edit the mod to reduce the amount of smoke actors that get spawned.
