[2023] The Return of "Prolonged sliding generates too much smoke after update"

Hey People

It seems like the tire smoke has been reintroduced to the game. I assume that in combination to the new bloom changes it got way worse on some maps. Here is an example screenshot from the map Lucidity:

I tried to check out if there is some sort of mediatracker in the map that makes it that bad but no. It gets that bad only after shadow calculation.

Below are screenshots from my video settings.

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of the FS playerbase is really annoyed by these smoke effect changes since it makes it impossible to check the overlap of the skidmarks. Before the patch last week the smoke effect was very subtle and many were really happy with that. So idk if its possible but a revert of this change would be great.
