Snow

[OVH]

I think snow is making map Smyrna unplayable. It give me low fps et very high ping.
With Sigi we also noticed we have higher ping than before in many maps. For me its acceptable but Sigi is from USA and its hard for him.

The snow creator is spawned a bit above the SkyZoneInfo, and in map MH-Smyrna one SkyZoneInfo is placed in the void. The snow creator tried it create snow in the void then…
Fixed.

The original version uses the Tick() event to update the flakes on every tick what is quite CPU expensive. I reduced it to a minimum of 0.3 seconds between updates. By this the server CPU utilization is reduced from 50 % to 20-30 %.

Its better but there is still fps drop in some parts of some maps. Its the same on normal server too.
In some maps there are few flakes but in other maps there are many flakes. And of course its in the maps with many flakes and many monsters at the same place that you can feel big fps drop.

Maybe CPU usage is higher now because we have higher average ping and lower fps than before Christmas. We can feel its not smooth when we look in direction where the snow is falling
I think there is too much snow in some maps. Same on normal server (check queens room and final room in TeamFight).
