PhysX Effects Disappear!

Is there a way to prolong the lifetime of the PhysX particles namely water? The particles disappear so quickly it doesn't really even give you a sense of water being everywhere. I've tried numerous file edits but to no avail. Any ideas?

I'd like to know the answer to this as well, not that my PPU could probably handle it easy as pie...but I don't like knowing that steel on a Russian ship has the same properties as a sponge.

This could however be just a limitation of the engine itself as it would seem that the actual performance of the game seems to be a low priority of 1C so adding prolonged water effects would probably run the same LOL!

It could be an engine limitation, but in the techdemo the water stayed on the ground for quite a while. I remember looking at the big boy with the flashlights and the water was falling onto him, dispersing on the floor, and it stayed there for a reasonable amount of time. This makes me think that the water lifetime can be changed.

I've found some code that may be related to this in the "init.cfg" file.

Code:

g.broken_icicles_count = 64;

g.characters= 1

g.recordfps = 32

g.gforce    = 24.0

g.gforce_water_loss = 0.3

g.benchmark = 0

What gets me is the "gforce_water_loss" setting.

Also these settings catch my eye.

Code:

p.maxfluidwater = 20000

p.maxfluidsparks = 10000

p.maxfluidsparksblue = 10000

p.maxfluidicicles = 5000

p.maxfluidbulletshells = 5000

You think about comparing the config files from the tech demo and retail game?

I no longer have the Tech Demo.
