Graphics bug with big explosions

Might be the engine(?) effect. It's a distortion effect to visualize the shock wave of the explosion. As far as I know it expands at the same speed as the actual damage effect. If it really is engine-stuff then I suggest asking in the Spring forum too.

This is lups distortion waves, not engine.

Edit your lups.cfg (you can find it through adv settings in ZKL) to change the line:
// ShockWave = true,
to
ShockWave = false,

(Remove the //, that's important).

And that should do it.

You're using ATI cards yes? You can also try updating your drivers if you want to see the distortions properly rather than disabling them.

on nvidia with ultra settings this looks just awesome -.- (did i mention that my buying decision for the last gfx card was zk-based?)

Why is there such a problem with ATI graphics cards? Is it an engine thing or could it be fixed from ZK?

maybe in donations page, we should make an option to collect money to ATI-bribe jK ;)

Why do developers hate ATI?

Yes, I have a new ATI card with current drivers, so I suppose I can't get the proper distortion effects.

Thanks to Saktoth's tip, I could deactivate the shockwave, though. (One should mention that its also necessary to remove the '//' from two other places to get the correct syntax)

//==Deactivate Specific Classes==
DisableFX= {
ShockWave = true,
// UnitCloaker = true,
// UnitJitter = true,
}

It's not that developers hate ati, it's that ati doesn't care about opengl developers.
