I have very big frame rate drops when I am near smoke effects. If I use flame thrower (not that big drop in frames), or am near a lot of steam engine (around 10 and more) there is huge drop in frames. Now I am using very bad GPU, (geforce 8200 with 512 ram, 4gb ddr2 and some pentium dual core on 2.3ghz) so that is probably a problem.

But i want to suggest that you implement a option to disable that effects, as I dont have problems playing the game and it runs good (playing it for 20h now), but whenever i am near my 20 steam engine it becomes problematic.

Hello, I'm glad to inform you, that the option is already there in the graphics section (Options -> Graphics -> Show smoke)
Let us know if it helped.

Yup, works good now, sorry, I did not see it in options.

I have one question

What is multisampling, and what does it affect? It is on 0 by default i the options

Glad it helped.
Here is fast explenation of antialiasing (mutlisapling is the same from what I understand)
