Sky textures and fps

[Merentha]

There is one specific sky texture that invariably drops my fps to around 15 or 20, regardless of what is happening. In an arena fight, for instance, it will be around 75 under normal conditions. In the same fight, if the sky is different, it drops to that really low rate. The sky in question is the completely overcast grey sky. Is that having to do with the texture or something? I understand the need for skies (they look really pretty) buy could that be disabled or in some way fixed? its really frustrating to lose a battle just because of what the sky looks like...

Do you have particle systems disabled? That sounds like the rain sky, and it might be so slow because it is animating the rain even though you can't see it.

mm, i've noticed something similar to this, on the dusk sky, i thought it might be related to the lighting model used for that time...
