Random Smoke Puffs??

[kikinchaz]

When your not the host on a listen server theres random smoke puffs that appear all over the place. My friends spoke about it when I was host and I thought they were just crazy or it was to do with them having lower settings.

However after playing tonight on another friends server I started to notice them myself. No idea why they occur, they dont seem to happen from anything, and its often when you turn round the corner to a new area for example there will be smoke puffs.

Pretty annoying speshly when they appear in a doorway that you need to see through. Seems like another "only when your not host on a listen server" bug to add to the list.

Haven't noticed it myself but two of my friends who play on my listen server have.

Like I said, certainly seems to be an issue which doesnt affect the host. Gets pretty irritating when your playing on the server, spesh on smaller coridoor based maps when theres constant smoke puffs all over the place blocking your view.

Ok, that's why one of my friend doesn't see them, it's because he's the server...
These smoke puffs are smoke effect for a grenade explosion. For some reason they are not removed from the level when they fade out and the effect is replayed when you return or look to the area where a grenade exploded.
Hope it will be fixed soom cause it may cause severe fps drops when accumulated.

I have see them, and sometimes they cover the whole walk way like in the lab...

I see them, they appear where you threw a grenade at some point and don't get destroyed properly.

Myself as well as many other testers and other people I've played with have noticed this too. Rest assured we are aware of it.
