Greetings.
In-game I can't see animations of explosions and fire. I only see a white cloud if something explodes. When a nuclear blast happens, I only see a red half-sphere, nothing in addition.
Can someone please help me understand what am I missing? What kind of setting do I need to enable to bring explosions back?
Thank you!

@fractal That is a very detailed answer. Thank you very much, I shall study it and let you know the results in the thread.

@fractal I tried to install dgVoodoo and run the game with it, but I do not think dgVoodoo works for me as I do not see a watermark regardless of where I extract files and whether I launch SC via faf client or via exe file.

Thank you for the replies guys.
The issue happens in the base game as well.
I am using Macbook Pro M1(https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch).
VM OS is Windows 11. Emulation via Parallels desktop.

CPU rating 335.
Explosions are lacking. And I can't also see napalm from bombers. It's just damaging my units but it's invisible.

Settings - highest, FPS did not measure but no stuttering whatsoever so i'd assume >50. CPU rating 360.

This video troubles me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukKOy20BwBk
According to it my setup should work as it is identical to the one on the video. But unfortunately does not work.

Looks like MacOS does not support proton:

I can't paste an image here, but I can't install Proton on mac from steam. For all of them install option is not available.

Hmm. Looks like they are not available on MacOS

@fractal Can you please point me towards proton emulation tools so that I can set it up on my mac?
