Just install 0.7.12.3192. It will autoupdate to 3202.

Will do, one more question I have is about GPU drivers. I'm using an Nvidia 680 GTX in one setup with the just released Nvidia 305.53 drivers and a AMD 7970 with the 12.7 beta's in another.

AMD's drivers haven't exactly been very good with Outerra in my experience so I'm not sure if it's even worth testing with the AMD 7970 but what do you think about trying the Nvidia 305.53's after some of the problems mentioned here with the 304.79's?

I've tested 305.53 drivers on the internal build and these seem to be from a different branch and working correctly.
AMD drivers now work ok, we have made a couple of optimizations and workarounds since those times. However, there appeared some new issues specific for the 7xxx line of cards; the driver code path for it seems to have a couple of bugs that can lead to driver crashes.

New patch 0.7.12.3212
  • added "Others" tab in controls, mostly as a reference of what other keys are there
  • F12 remapped to the issue tracker (see below)
  • detection of buggy NV 304.xx beta drivers
  • gmaps in sandbox mode use exact height instead of the filtered one
  • bilinear 2x2 PCF samples for shadowmap
  • fixed metallic materials
  • fixed c172 propeller visibility
  • added lerp between alpha channel and computed fresnel val (for blurred propellers)

Issue tracker (Trac) is working again, please use it for reporting bugs and keep track of changes/fixes. The tracker is accessible at http://www.outerra.com/xtrac, for write access you will need to have your access code generated from within the game. To get it, when the login window appears, click on the "Account" link just below the login button. In the following screen click on a link to get the access code. This will allow you to open the tracker from within the game (F12). Please also copy the access code, it is used as a password when accessing http://www.outerra.com/xtrac from external browser, together with your nickname.

The internal tracker window doesn't yet support attaching files, this will be implemented when we update the browser plugin. Then it will allow also attaching current screenshots and configuration files automatically.

Buggy Nvidia 304.xx drivers are detected and user warned about it. New 305.53 beta drivers seem to be ok.

This will allow you to open the tracker from within the game (F12).

When I press F12 all is going on is the screen becomes a bit darker. If I continue pressing F12 it becomes black. The ESC menu is not affected though.

EDIT: Also can't change controls in the "Other" menu.

Hmm the problem is that previously F12 was changing the exposure. Once you load the config it should remap it though.

... aaaaah, I know what's the problem. It detects that you have an old config only the first time you run it after the update, when you have to go to the controls. A workaround - open your eng.cfg, delete the line with cfg-version. Then run OT and go to the config and back to save it.

I must find a better way of updating the iomap.cfg :-\

I can't enter controls menu too. Only "Back" and "Quit" are working.

Edit: I restarted the game and... they works. :)

Yeah an extra restart is required for the menus to work after the update.

Can someone attach their iomap.cfg, what it looks like after the restart?

The menu works when there is the line "cfg-version = 3212" in "eng.cfg".
