Terrain shadows need a secondary shadow map, right now they share a single one and lots of compromises had to be done. The fading is indeed a feature, not ideal but better than sharp shadow jumps when the shadow distance has to be limited.

SSAO will never work for stereo modes correctly, as one eye will see a differently projected geometry, and it often doesn't see the real edges.

Mid and high AO settings do not work at all currently in stereo.
Maybe it depends on specific implementations, but  I am sure I saw quite a few (game) engines with proper stereoscopic AO.
Terrain shadows should not fade so visible.

I don`t know if this has been stated before but I`m getting a major FPS drop when any 3D object is spawned (static or vehicle) to the point that it becomes unplayable! :P
It drops down to sub-10 fps levels!

Probably exhausted GPU memory. With lots of packages installed and used in scenery you can easily run out of memory, if you haven't got at least 2GB.

Ah, there`s the problem! :)
New GPU next year I guess! :P

Has anyone got Outerra to work with Crossfire setup? with my 290x crossfire setup the screen flickers bad when I attempt to run both cards. Really annoying as I thought it use to work?

My spotlights seem to be bleaching my other models grey.



They illuminate the model they're attached to properly and the default Outerra vehicles.

Thought it might be the specular map showing through so added mipmaps and tried a few DDS formats but no change.

Also the lights' draw distance is very short. Is there a way to extend it?

Hm, can we have the same screen during the day? Though daylight has more components, also ambient light and atmo scattering.

The range is determined only by source intensity and light angle, so you only can boost the intensity or make the beam narrower.

Here you go.

Are we referring to the same thing? You can see some transitions here.






Can also see the black blocks from some z:1 spotlights.

Sorry I have problems immediately knowing what you are referring to, without a better description.
Ah so you mean that lights aren't visible on distant terrain. Those shaders currently do not handle lights. Just as there are issues with atmo haze on giant objects, because the algorithms are not tuned to such a wide range of object sizes. These will require some additional enhancements.

I can't reproduce that one. Black blocks were common when there were some misplaced parameters, can you check if it's correct and if yes, please give me the line that's doing it so I can try to repro it.

 i've been getting those black box over vehicle since the latest update. A sure way to get those for me is to spawn an heli and have it turn over. If i try to spawn the same vehicle, the whole screen turn black.

Oups! just saw that zzz reported the same thing

M7, which vehicle is that? I am guessing there is an extra parameter that worked with one version, but not with the current one. Either that, or it is a point light with too small of an intensity, which will produce the same effects.

zzz, PM me with a the script for the one you are getting black boxes with, it may be the same.

I found the cause, some of mine had 0 0 0 as the colour (d'oh).

Still have an issue with too high of an intensity. Had to force a downgrade to two versions ago to get spotlights working properly.

Once the black box bug kicks in, all vehicle in view gets one. It seems to happen when i flip an aircraft/heli upside down. I then spawn a mercenary to get an upside view and i either get the black box right away or when i hit the esc key.
