I don't know... I think the grass loads slower.  It seems similar to the change you made back when you "made roads generate faster."  I think it's slower for me.  For roads it's mainly only noticeable when you create the road, but with the grass it's of course more noticeable - you travel fast at all it pops into view instead of "growing" or whatever.

Grass looks like it grows in chunks now, not like it just comes out of the ground

Hrm.. If I have the WIP grass enabled I get no grass but the ground flattens like it should to the distance I set.. If I disable grass the bumpy ground re-appears so something is still working.

What should I do?

I need to check it on 4850 card, did the previous version work ok?

What graphics card & driver?

Like a charm. http://i.minus.com/iWhxlXGJO785P.png

Zeos, on my 4850 it works flawlessly. Can you send me your eng.log after you enable debug_mode in eng.cfg?

[ZeosPantera]

Here you go. http://i.minus.com/1337326797/QRJa26Yhf67qW5ZcymKhRg/dvrPchuzMLoPP.log or this http://minus.com/mwkWwbRii/5 if that direct link doesn't work.

Nothing there, the only difference is that I was using 12.3 Catalyst driver (6.14.10.11554) and you are running with 12.4.
I'll test it with 12.4 when I get home. But I actually hope it's not in that.

I like the newest Version. You fixed the Pushup Bug.

I also have this "tiled" grass, here pics:



Catalyst 12.4, Radeon 3870.
Grass render distance set to 35m. This is really 35m? I suppose before patch there was 25 meters, but "growing from ground" looked nicer in my opinion.

Oh, and yes, I haven't noticed "bumping bug" so far.

We need the complet version to enable the grass?

[lookastdu]

Yes, you need to buy pre-alpha version to enable this work-in-progress feature.

EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked 1280MB 296.17 for W8 64bit.  They still haven't released the latest round of drivers for W8 even though they said there would be regular driver updates for it. 
I'm also using 1080 terrain setting and MSAA&FXAA.  It's a little faster at 480.  I might just be straining it. idk

Grass only grows in chunks if the render distance is over 23M

Distances above ~25 don't work yet correctly, I'm changing it so it can go further.
