Actually I found a way to replicate it. After changing grass LOD1 distance to 0 and restarting, the grass dissapears. If it's on 1-50 it's working.

I thought you weren't tampering with the settings

Ok, the way it works, 0 is an invalid value for that setting. Going to fix the UI.

[Kviki]

I thought so too!
Glad I found it anyway. My fail. Thought if I'd use 0 the high quality grass would show only around me. Now when I set it to 1 and restart, it looks like crap!

(Didn't mess with anything but the grass!)

So,

I was checking out the latest update so I changed the time of day to view sunrise, and the lighting recalculation slowly rippled through the grass etc, then I turned around and apparently the grass behind me didn't want to exist anymore. Looks like it stopped rendering outside of the visible area once I changed the time. I poked around a bit and no new grass was rendering anywhere anymore, but the stuff that was there before I turned around remained.

I have a gaming laptop and an ATI card with drivers only a few months old, if it matters.

Pic attached..

When you restart the app, is the grass rendered again?

Also, how much memory you got on the GPU?

[ecl3ctic]

2 GB and yes, it's back after a restart. I can't immediately reproduce what just happened before but I'm sure if I mashed times of day and movement and positioning and who knows what else for a while it would happen again.

EDIT: Actually reflecting on my screenshot it looks like it's a terrain LoD issue rather than the grass itself?

[cameni]

Looks like it, although that kind of bug happens mainly in heavily mountainous regions. When it happens again, look down and wait a bit to see if it gets refined. If yes, it's a LOD issue, but it must be sensitive to that particular location - please save the camera position and send me the cam pos file then.

Had this show up on the horizon.

Those lines also appear when in outer space, looking at the night side it shows the blue lines around the sphere.

   Recently bought this software and my present ver is 0.7.11.3089- where is the new download for ver. 0.7.11.3100 and how is this installed?
Does this auto-update the present ver. of Anteworld or should the old ver. be uninstalled first before downloading the new ver.??
Guess I'm missing something here...

[cameni]

It will auto-update, even the free demo will update to 3100. If it doesn't for you, maybe it can't reach the server - something about it should be in the eng.log

Cameni, eng.log states:

Since installation of grass, (awesome!) framerates have dropped considerably- if this new update can help increase performance I would appreciate very much if you could show me another way to download it-
Thank you,

The download log should start somewhere further down, after the initialization.

Anyway, you can download the patch here: Anteworld-0.7.11.2968.patch-3100.exe and install it manually.

Cameni, thank you for providing this link-
I downloaded and installed the patch as administrator-  app still showing same ver.0.7.11.3089?   Checked eng.log and ver. 0.7.11.3089 hasn't changed- Restarted PC -opened app still the same. Re-downloaded and installed again as administrator nothing changed-checked Outerra files and it appears no new files were written...? (I keep "User account" control settings turned off-)

Yay Nvidia Driver 302.80 for Windows 8 is here!
