The super cool visually appealing rain affects of the game cause a dramatic loss of performance to the client.


I think being able to lessen or disable these sweet affects would enable some clients to crash less and generally have a higher frame rate. Some people either crash every time or keep their clients near minimum to be able to weather the weather. Less crashing, greater up-time, happy players!


I am in no way suggesting removing rain or other precipitation (and related affects) from the game just dampening the affect on individual clients. I did search before posting, sorry if i missed it and this has already been proposed.


Thanks for your time!
