In shallower waters, the underwater rendering seems to be fine, where the ground is still visible. When I go deeper, and the light does not reach the ground, I get graphical glitches and the framerate starts to suffer.

Or this when I look up from deep waters:

Yes, i am getting this aswell. Do not venture into the deep sea and look up(or anywhere really) lol.

I get a terrain artifact on slopes created by a road, if there's another road near it:


That road turns left and goes on on that slope. Gallery

doing a straight road, even on a very leaning slope works ok, but if that road does a 180 degrees turn and goes near itself those artifacts are created.

I'm on a Radeon 7770, with 13.4 drivers.

That's because the road should not overlap itself. This should be detected automatically and the road should be split before the point where it would interfere with itself, but at the moment it doesn't do it.

Hmm, I guess we don't have a manual split operation there either ...

Well, but it doesn't. Or you mean the "extended road", with the transitional space? That does indeed overlap.

Here is a bug from me:
Every time that I fire the gun and have shift pressed, the screen goes bonkers!

I have some issues with the latest build:

1. The load speed has increased when on the ground and turning the camera... The grass takes almost one second to appear. Also the texture behind it is very low rez.


2 Rendered distance seems to be reduced... terrain looks a bit washed out now although the performance I could say has declined.

1 and 2 seems to depend on the location... I had tested it in Grand Canyon and there the problem occurred but on Himalaya aerodrome doesn't appear

3 Any plane I take (the stock ones I don't have any mods now) the simulation freezes after few minutes... Meaning the plane just freeze in mid air with engine started... I can leave plane... reenter but it stays frozen.

like in this movie... skip to the end to see it freeze.



4 If I choose in graphic options revert to default the game interface becomes unclickable. meaning the mouse moves some menu flicker as in mouse over effect but nothing can be clicked. I need to kill the outerra.exe to get out. Also the default settings seems are not always the same... the shadow distances sometimes is 1000 sometimes is 10000...  this one seems to be caused because of the image shift... the actual clickable areas are lower than they look on the screen

With the latest build compared to the previous one or compared to some older ones?
What's your terrain quality setting? What you describe sounds like the terrain doesn't have enough memory allocated for it on the GPU for the quality setting.

I am not sure, but the second to last version did this as well.

Don't use Terrain Quality 1080p - it doesn't properly allocate enough memory for terrain for some reason, I need to fix the way it's computed.
The blurry textures are usually the result of the terrain limiter fighting with the generator and removing tiles and not allowing it to refine to the specified detail level.
