Particles & Mini-Map

Here we look at Particles and the mini-map.

Particles

So there you are dancing the night away and loads of particle effects go off. Yes they may look pretty but your finding your viewer slowing down (LAGGING). Well if you goto View on the toolbar at the top of your screen and near the bottom of the menu you’ll see Hide Particle. Click Hide Particles so theres a cross by it and they disappear so speeding your viewer back up.

Mini-Map

In the more recent viewers they have added yellow dots and not just green. Green dots are residents you dont know and Yellow are on your friends List. Also if you hover your mouse cusor over any dot you will see the residents name, cool features if you lost someone in a crowd . If the dot shows as a V-shape it means they are either above you or below you and if it appears as a normal dot they are on the same height as you.
