Disable Beacons Commands 1.33 ( Increase FPS )

[ScaniaFan89]

SCS added the ability to remove the flashing effects from beacons in 1.33 ( This affects AI & Player beacons ). The following are commands to remove those effects!

 

g_disable_beacons (0/ 1/ 2) - for people having issues with blinking lights

 

0 is the default setting ( flares & flashing lights active )

 

1 removes the flares ( lights still flash but without the flare effects )

 

2 disables the flashing & flare effects ( the beacons are static ) 

 

I found the above commands removed lag whenever someone drove past with a wall of beacons on their truck ( setting used 1 ). Watch the video to see the settings in action ( note the reflection on the metal railing next to the car )

Can everyone on the server see this or is this only working for me?

Disabling beacons, flares and/ or flashing lights will only affect their visibility on your computer.

This should probably be pinned or something so people are made aware of this more readily. I too, was unaware of this and I think it might help many people with lag, especially in very busy areas.

This will help a lot for those who don't have a very good computer

It would be nice if there was a setting that could turn off the flare for everyone, I don't want to lag people's computers with a stupid strobe light.

I didn't knew this post existed. I experienced very much lag due to beacon, now i feel my experience could have been better

Very good idea, my game crashes when some drivers come behind me because they only put beacons on their trucks.
