Yeah, I haven't tried the newest Nvidia beta drivers with Outerra yet, but they come with the performance improvements for DirectX, to compete with Mantle or something, and I know Outerra is OpenGL, but the new beta drivers are buggy as hell in DirectX games.  Texture glitches n such all over the place. (Or at least I hope my card or power supply aren't dying lol)

I had the newest Nvidia Beta Drivers and Outerra wouldn't work with them so I wouldn't suggest downloading them. I couldn't even play Outerra it just loaded forever and gave me red errors on the main menu.

where is the next big update?

[Krutan]

where is the next big update?

Damn you for bumping this thread! Thought it was a new update with some awesome features

[zzz]

have also been keeping an eye out for updates.

[cameni]

The next update is undergoing testing ... crashing like mad right now   

[John514]

But is it big?

[cameni]

No, it won't be big. Many things are simply still unfit for general release, not working globally yet or problems across different GPU vendors.

Last week we submitted bug reports to all three graphics vendors ...

[zzz]

shoot, new version crashes to desktop. Goes past login screen, make it to "Initialising the World" and then crashes with the error report option. Log doesn't seem to have any errors.

Version 0.8.2.4577

• HRTF binaural audio support (off by default)
• fixed animation blending on mercenary character
• ufo min height 1.8, crouching in ufo mode (F key)
• detail terrain textures colorized by biome, rocks textured with color between dirt and gray colors + relative material coloring
• true geographic and mercator projection for full-screen map overlays (ctrl+shift+G,M), road/object editors work on top of that mode
• adjustable gmap opacity in full mode
• enhanced stars rendering (some issues with MSAA remain)
• fix for audio gaps on youtube when using built-in video capture, LZ4 compressed video frames (lower disk throughput needed)
• fixed TPS camera orientation restore
• fixed vehicle camera toggle
• fixed grass animation
• adjusted forest brightness and color in distance
• adjusted biome colors, suppressed erroneous blue component in source data
• fixed misplaced trees/biome bug
• fixed download "freezing" after location jumps
• fixed crash with trackir plugin

Update 1:
I pulled the auto-update down temporarily, apparently the new audio library is causing some issues. Anyone who feels adventurous can still install the update by running
outerra.exe -forceupdate 0.8.1.4495-4577

Preferably backing up the old version first. Investigating what's the problem.


Update 2:
Seems like an older version got into the release, put a new one there. For those who already downloaded previous version, please download and replace openal-mob.dll file.

• detail terrain textures colorized by biome, rocks textured with color between dirt and gray colors + relative material coloring
• adjusted biome colors, suppressed erroneous blue component in source data

In snow-covered areas, rocks are almost completely white. It's a bit strange.

• true geographic and mercator projection for full-screen map overlays (ctrl+shift+G,M), road/object editors work on top of that mode

This one is awesome for accurate road placement. Some strange rendering bugs at hight altitude (white squares, ATI Catalyst 14.4), but nothing bad.

Great update  :)

In snow-covered areas, rocks are almost completely white. It's a bit strange.

The problem is that snow should not be baked into the biome color data. "Real" snow is procedural, the baked one is smoothly blended and holds on the slopes. We are going to filter it out of the source data.

Version 0.8.1.4578, fixed crash with disabled shadows.

[John514]

WOW! I`ll use the hell out of this overlay!

[Jagerbomber]

I'm gonna hold off on this one until Nvidia releases their new drivers this week (well... at least probably before the 27th I'm guessing).
