Fire disaster is really a lag disaster

[XxM0lTen_LaVAxX]

I am sure everyone is familiar with the lag that strikes everyone between 7:40pm and 8:20pm in quarter quell. This is our friend the fire disaster putting itself out. My quarter quell stats show I have won about 18 out of 78 games. If there was no lag that came with the fire disaster, my stats would show 18 out of 68.

What my question is for the staff of MCSG is Are there any possible solutions to this problem? If so then how long would it take to be fixed and when?

It would be great if someone could let me know and others if there is a solution to this problem. Please leave a comment if you do.

Thanks,

You could try turn animated fire off? I don't know how effective that would be but it's the first thing that sprang to mind.

It happens to everyone. People with animated fire on and people who don't.

There is no possible way of avoiding it, I believe. Is turning down your render so no part is visible a solution, though?

I think turning off animated fire is really the best way. It is lowered the lag for me during the fire disaster by at least 50%. Also killed some people who have frozen because of the lag from the fire disaster. Turning down render distance is another way but doesn't work as well as turning off animated fire.

Then there is the concept of turning off animated fire and having low render distance...

I'm not a big QQ player, but I guess maybe it's the animations in OF? Turn animated fire off c:

PLOT TWIST that was intentional
jokes... I think....

Really? :O Because I have died at least 10 times because of it...

Seeing as I dont play QQ much, I can't say a lot, but if the lag stayed specific to only the fire region, that would be great because it adds another challenge element to the playstyle of the game.
