    Why can't I turn rain off

    Rain has always been a problem hurting my frames and making playing in rainy maps annoying

    but now it feels unplayable

    Right now all I can do is quit a match if I get put into a rainy map... but I get punished for it, so I'm forced to play and actually be less useful then a bot.
    I have to guess where Shogoki is going to throw a heavy

    My frames will sometime drop from my average of 55 to 15

    It got so much worse and I can't stop it

    Rain adds nothing to the game and just makes it so rigs that just meet the requirements to play are getting a frame drop.

    My Graphics card is good its just my CPU that is on the Meets requirements line

    Either fix rainy maps, remove them, or let us turn off rain. Right now its too much

    I agree. I would like to turn rain off as well.

    It would be a nice option to turn it off, for your problem specifically, not to remove it entirely. The rain maps are my favourite

    120 - 95fps? Your eye can't physically tell the difference lol.

    You gonna brag about your mpgs too? What's your bench bro?

    I can understand why some people like them, and that's part of the reason I mostly want them to let me turn it off but if they can't, then removing them might be the best option.

    I'll pass this thread to the team. Also, let us know if you notice any difference after the graphical enhancements in this update (whether good or bad).

    Will do.
    Should I do that on this thread or a new thread?

    Doing it on this thread.
    I did two Custom matches with only bots
    both on the shard
    One Rainy: 60-50 frames lowest seen 47
    One Sunny: 60-50 frames lowest seen 47

    not quite as good as 60-55 sunny before
    but the drops to 50 didn't even feel that bad everything felt smooth.

    oddly enough they were the same.
    Will continue to update if I notice something while playing with people.

    EDIT:
    When playing with people on the breach map in the rain, The walled city (Japanese map) 50-40 was my average but it still didn't feel to bad... just sometimes hard to react to attacks.

    Played on the Viking map during night 50-40 frames

    looks like you guys fixed the issue that i didn't think was fixable... Well played good people.
