Try adjusting your in-game performance settings.

KK Thanks.. I tried adjusting all of that scone but it didnt change anything

Try asking over at the Age3 Community board

Weell i think smoke is meant to be coming out of the biulding, if you look on the left, there is a chimney thing,

i think it may be your settings, have you tried them on low...

I sometimes have trouble with smoke on some games...

the amount of RAM you have in your computer may affect the performance. Try lower your graphic settings, lower the resolution if possible. although by doing this the game may look bad but perform a lot better

If you read i allready suggested that he did it and he said it did nothing. Smoke comes out of them on mine to but im pretty sure its ment to.. just not out of all the guns and stuff too
