Request: a way to turn off...

[Bleuz]

All the skills flash. I have a potato of a laptop(good for online college. Not so much for gaming)

 

If I play with only min fx team mates I'm ok.. min all the flash goes off I lag out. 

 

Just be nice to not be doomed to solo life

This probably won't be a favorable outcome, but effects flash is tied to particle count.  If you turn it below 10,000, you'll notice the effects are greatly diminished.  Putting it as low as possible makes City of Heroes resemble a D&D session.  (Arms waving, numbers appearing, no powers.)

 

Not a great answer, but it's something you can do today.

Tbh how would I do this lol.. I know I'm missing out on alot of the game. But I would rather be able to play with people then solo all the time. 

 

 

Ps.  Says alot how dedicated you are to this game when a gm comments to help. Ty for bringing city of X back. ❤️

Menu (next to  your health/endurance bars)->Options->Graphics and Audio tab->Enable Advanced Graphics Options->Max Particle Count should now be visible. 50000 is the default. Hope it works out for you.
