"Gordon, we really should run those test parameters again.."

I'm fairly certain there's a render distance for them, so if they're out of view the lights don't render.

maybe not tho.

There isn't a render distance on them, but being particles they shouldn't render if they're off screen at the very least.

The performance impact when in regular gameplay is nearly nothing. Obviously if you spawn like 40 combine or 40 turrets or something like that you'll probably run into issues.

There'll be people who will have potato setups weaker than what's considered usually weak computers :melon:

so.... it's not about lag, but I wanted to address this. I turned off any impeding enhanced lights for it, and it still doesn't work. I have no idea why, if you have any suggestions to help fix it, please reply. and by not working, I mean it does not show up.

number of installed addons does not equal your hardware specs, nor did you state what your framerate was before and after. Is half going from 300 to 150, or 180 to 90, 60 to 30, 40 to 20?
