GPU particle option dont work for me

does anybody know if it works ?
since the sep update , the gpu particle option is not
longer grayed out , but when i choose high med or low
it tells me to restart the client to apply changes
when i do and restart the game its still off
anybody can help me ?
thanks

nvidia physx wount work in planetside 2. gpu particle = nvidia physx

that is sad , i just thought since its not grayed out anymore
that they fixed it , i watched youtube videos where it was still working
and it looked amazing

in order to play with physix u will need titan-x to get 60 fps. current planetside peformance is so bad

so does it means it could be activated ?love the game , but not 1000$ of love in the moment i got a 970 witch give me easy 80 to 100 fps on ultra ( depents on pop)
but its 650$ shy of the titan
thanks

You need drugs to activate GPU particles.

It won't be limited to the game, though.

no u cant enable it i just told why its disabled in game

Yeah, as hardware gets better in general they could make it a thing again, however it did cause some bad bugs even when turned off so they had to put it out in the first place.

like this option worth a try , let me make a call
mushrooms will do the trick for sure

thanks you all , for me was just the question
whey they enabled the feature in the graphic setting since september update
again , when it will not work , weird

nope, it worked fine years ago on a middle-of-the-road comp, these days it'd run smooth as butter!

I believe it used to cause CTDs regularly on some computers.

TBH i dont think they could be botherd to figure out why, and most people were turning it off because it blocked too much of the action anyways.

I do miss the sparks etc tho .

It seemed to run fine on GPUs much less than that, in fact to me it didn't really seem to impact performance. It apparently caused crashes though, although it never seemed to increase the frequency of crashes for me (although I crashed quite a lot then in PS2 irrespective of PhysX).

well it was optional, i had a slightly better than average comp back then and didn't have any trouble, the people who did have trouble could simply turn it off, it sucks that the option was removed entirely.

i also think it might have been removed because of the little bit of extra effort they'd have to put in to new content.
like the new aphelions projectiles, or when you destroy a spitfire turret and currently the top just vanishes.

agreed completely.

I do miss the physx. Worked pretty good on my GTX680.

Y wot mate? Do you know how Apex Particles even work? It makes use of certain features on Nvidia GPUs. For Gods sake my GTX 550 TI handled it without any problems.
To my knowledge, PhysX is enabled and is responsible for certain calculations (Mostly vehicle related) and it is just Apex Particles that they disabled, because they didn't get it fully implemented and where too lazy to focus on the fixes.

bring APEX particles back, PLEASE!??? this game was so much better then.

That's exactly the problem, not really performance. Physx were cool, but they caused multiple CTD, and I think devs once stated they needed more time and support from Nvidia to make it work properly. This doesn't mean it won't come back one day, but at the moment I don't think it's on the radar.

Could've slapped a "Work in Progress" on the options screen for it and left it as an option.
