Disabling Weather system wont work

Post by evildari »

Disabling the Weather system at the lobby option for starting a new game,
just starts the game with the weather overlay filter off, the weather simulation still runs in background.
Switch the Weather filter on and check also the weather of the land / hex status changing.
(Wanted to look how faster game could run without weather simulation...)

This is working as intended. There is a thread which states toggling it off does just that. Only the visual graphic is gone, the code still runs.

This is not what I recall. IIRC when the setting is off, the visual graphic can still be seen but the code for weather effects DOES NOT run. Anyone checked the manual?

This is the thread I was thinking of. Perhaps I am being pedantic but I never saw a logical response to why you still get cloud patterns if there are no calculations. Shrugs

No particular reason. Not see as important since the UI toggle is there.

if i understand that right - its just a redundant filter toggle in the lobby - no matter what - the weather simulation always runs and this is working as intended.

On = combat is modified by weather and you see clouds.
Off = combat is NOT modified by weather and you see clouds.
