In the trailer there was rain and thunderstorms, and in the editor you can make it rain and change the weather.
I have yet in the game after more than 14 hours of play come across any form of weather... or storm?!? Is this a glitch, is it really rare or does the rain etc come later on in the game?
In my first play through 33.2 hours, it did not rain once. In my second it has rained once in 15 hours. The problem is that with their bend modifier on the plants, and the rain being treated as a phsyics object, it has a large performance hit. They did not optimize this game very well, and rain will kill your Vanilla FPS. Luckily for me I optimized most of the textures, so rain did not make me drop below 35FPS.
rain is rare. i was only thinking yesterday, after just finishing my 2nd playthrough, i dont remember rain this time. just as that entered my head, it did rainmakes a nice change once in a while. would be good to see it a little more.
on xbox i must say btw i havnt seen any performance issues when it does rain. maybe pc version is built diff.
