Keep it a night map, where it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks. I tried to keep it somewhat dim to keep the effects of the lights and fires. I like the snowy, night atmosphere too but unfortunately most coh2 players will not even give the map a fair chance if they see it's not the traditional clear daytime conditions so I had to find a compromise.

Don't use transitions. It bugs a huge variety of things due to how atmosphere settings, terrain settings, and FX markers work.

Remember the Pripyat River bug where the whole forest would go up in flames after a set amount of time? Partly in part due to atmosphere transitions.

It also annihilates older PC frame rates.

This would be okay if we could make our won custom atmosphere settings and save them, but you cannot, I believe it still crashes the builder or does nothing, been awhile since I've made the mistake of trying to use it.

Now with that being said, you could adjust a preset atmosphere setting and adjust just the light colors and angel for a custom one and then transition to the one that you used... which would keep a large amount of the bugs at bay, but some would still persist and it would still annihilate framerates.

Thanks for the advice. I will just remove the transition then. Kind of annoying because it's actually a very cool feature.
