Description
PHOTON VFX

Photon is a lightweight upgrade to the visual effects of explosions in the game, with brighter, more vibrant lighting, shrapnel spark effects, and blast wave effects.
Vehicle ammuntion tracer lifetime has also been increased slightly to make them more effective at relevant ranges. Tracer brightness, size, and colour have not been altered.

Designed with an aim to have as minimal fps impact as possible, whilst making the game more immersive and impactful.

No mods required.
.pbo files for fx are separated so you can choose to remove the lighting, sparks, smoke trails, or blast effects.


Photon VFX is recommended (but not required) to use in conjunction with Photon VFX Smoke addon, and Munitions Armoury - get them here :

Armoury : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964055294

I never had this kind of issue. But I don't use lighting.pbo, because it makes flares too bright with Aegis mod. But that has nothing to do with this.

Which APC type did it happen with - vanilla or modded? Were any other mods loaded at the time? What situation did this happen in? I need more details before I can replicate the issue and address it. I haven't had anything like this happen in testing, nor have I recieved any bug reports regarding this occuring for anyone else.

since using the mod iv had 4 crashes. was sure it was this but i just witnessed an APC blow up and the game crashed my entire PC. I dont wana jump to conclusions blaming this mod but i cant see it being anything else.

anyone else had issues?

@Wenza

So you're not planning to make flares as a separate pbo’s?

No. Aegis isn't my mod, so idk what the issue is. I'm not going to be spending my time ripping apart their mod to try and figure out how to fix it to make it compatible with Photon VFX.

And what about the issue with Aegis mod when flares are too much bright? Do you plan fix this? :)

No worries happy to help!
Just dropped some bombs, cluster bombs, blew up a few vehicles. No slowdown in the most recent version.

Posted the newer version minus smoke trails, might need to repair mod in the launcher to force an update. Thank you for taking time out of your day to bug report and test
