Seems OpenGL is VERY sensitive to driver updates? or is AMD/Nvidia just not paying attention to OpenGL enough in their code?

Haha didn't noticed this one :D "Lorem ipsum" is a standard placeholder text (correct word spacing of of normal text), based on a Cicero text, so I guess it's an UI test. This may be really practical to locate a vehicle at long distance...

It wasn't a permanent fix, just a verification that it indeed is the cause. We'll enhance the detection of the sRGB bug.

Seems OpenGL is VERY sensitive to driver updates? or is AMD/Nvidia just not paying attention to OpenGL enough in their code?

The latter; not many game companies are using newer OpenGL features. In our development we hit and reported many driver bugs, because we were apparently first to use them. It's much better now though.

In this case it's a problem in sRGB handling, where some texture sampling calls do the color conversion to linear space and some don't.
On our 5770 card it doesn't show, so it's just some AMD cards from older series and some driver versions.

"added vehicle/aircraft solar_time script method returning time info and outside light levels (useful for controlling automatic lights control on vehicles)"

Is it possible to use this for other actions? Such as turning on street and/or house lights at night?

Or maybe starting windmills turning at certain times?

It's a vehicle script so it will require to transform the object in a vehicle (like what Levi did with the wind turbine). I'm not sure if these will work without being activated (placed by the player or entered after being placed as static objects).

The usual suspects are antivirus, insufficient privileges for the patcher to update the installation directory ... or just download the patch from here and run manually.

I like the new build; the mountains seem more naturalistic, somehow.

You should be able to fix the problem by reloading the road (select it and click "make"). If it's not working, try to increase the transitional area of several nodes of the road, or move their elevation a bit. The update fix is only working on new roads :)
