Go offline aqnd spawn an inf. Start waling with him firing his smg preferably. Hit space bar a few times to create clones.

Figure out what set of conditions cause you not to see the muzzle flashes.

We can then fix it.

There is nothing in your system spec to indicate a problem. So it is likely specific to your system. Have you updated the graphics drivers recently? Probably nothing new there with the age of the card but worth a try. They can get corrupted over time.

Guessing you have the default drivers from Win7 or updated latest when you installed but have to ask. #1 probability.

Update:

Made some smg clones at 200m.

At this distance some muzzleflashes disappeared, when there weapons direction, or my position, changed left or right.

Going to do a "mass" test now...

[oidin]

Mass test with about 70 smgs

At 100 meter many flashes werent constant, they were flickering in and out...some disapeared totally, when watching them not straight on.

Flickering could be relatet with low FPS, because I hadnt more then 10 FPS in that session.

Could be. What do you have your inf lod settings at?

[oidin]

About 80%...

Asking MARTINI for some feedback.

Test 1

• offloine
  
• spawn us smg
  
• goto firing range
  
• place firing clones in a line facing the shooting line at 100m and 200m
  
• return to firing line
  

Observations

• high inf lod shows muzzle flash at both 100m and 200m
  
• low inf lod shows muzzle flashes at 100m and 200m
  
• low inf lod shows muzzle flash at feet of int at >105m
  
  • this is because weapons have LOD out
