BUG Daytime stars
« on: August 07, 2012, 06:10:15 pm »
Hey!

I just started exploring this marvel of a graphics engine. Must say I like it a lot... And I love the possibilities it presents.

But I found a bug. You may have encountered it before. But i did a search and came up with nothing. Here are pictures of it:






The black field flickers between what really should be there and the night sky.

Specs in attached dxdiag file.
Mod: Bug found using 0.7.11.3100


Hope this was the right subforum to post...

Please attach your eng.log, can be found in Outerra data dir (by default c:\users\<yourname>\outerra\eng.log)

You can also test the new version.

Hmm we have the same card and driver and don't see the bug. Maybe some settings in the Catalyst control panel?

I downloaded your new version, and I can not reproduce the bug now.

Another bug, that still is showing after update to 0.7.12.3212:

I wanted to jump into the location to verify it, but tinypic seems to remove the GPS info from the pictures :(

Well, it doesn't happen for us on the same card, drivers and system. Can you try resetting the settings in your Catalyst control panel?
Are you using any special atmospheric settings?

In game it's all default...
Hmm, resetting catalyst settings...

Everything looks fine now :) All bugs I encountered are gone now...

I'll experiment a little to see what caused the last bug.

Thanks!

When using manual Ansiotropic Filtering the bug comes back (the darker line over the screen). This intensifies with higher setting, 16x is the worst, and 2x you almost don't see it. When using "application settings" it does not show at all.

You mean driver-enforced AF? Well, if it enforces AF when reading from internal computed atmospheric textures, no wonder. Not sure if we can tell driver not to enforce it for some textures ...

Heli is not yet imported in the unstable branch.
