HECK YES WAZ! i was uploading a new version when i saw this. the upload came to a screeching halt needless to say @Waz So if someone is still experiencing some lag from volumetric clouds all the need to do is lower the visible range from 10,000 to say 5,000 for example? if thats the case, you have probably done the single best thing that has happened to EVE. People will absolutely love that! Just tested this out... SO DAMN GOOD.

glad you got it solved

i personally dont see a reason to cap the fps but it really depends on your cpu. if you have an i5 or i7, i wouldnt cap it because it wouldnt make a difference in terms of CPU usage because KSP doesnt multi thread.

ok may i ask why you changed StockVisualEnhancements folder name to SVE? That is why EVE cant find the textures BTW change it back to StockVisualEnhancements and you will be good

yeah i was pulling my hair out. its strange that the same layers that i just removed didnt have that big of an impact on previous versions. either way they weren't vital to this pack at all so i happily removed them. yeah im sure they are GC but they are sooo small the human eye cant pick up the stutter if there even is one.

yeah i removed those and for some reason i had my cirrus cloud layer with volumetric clouds which hurt more than it looked good so i just got rid of it

no i was asking because you should NOT have it! lol sorry should have been more clear Post a screenshot of your gamedata folder and post your logs. ill take a look for anyone that has asked for help and i havent responded i apologize. this thread is moving pretty quick today

@theaveragepxtseryu hmm odd they arent showing up. Do you have BoulderCo in your gamedata folder by chance? The textures can be found here: GameData/StockVisualEnhancements/EVE/Atmosphere/Textures Im pretty sure i figured out the issue and will be posting a new version soon

alt+0

no its all good man. That is just solidifying the fact that it may not be anything i did wrong which is a good thing.

No sometimes i get even higher than that i use a GTX 1070 but i wanted to see what the performance was like on a lesser card. http://imgur.com/a/BOYDn

You can hit alt+0 to open the gui and play with the cloud layers that way but if you mean to alter the actual textures you will need photoshop.

That is something that I can't do unfortunately. Blackrack was working on something like that in scatterer and he will probably include sometime in the future

Well the good news is that kopernicus won't be updated for a while either so there is no rush homie!

You need that dll

Thanks for pointing of the power of 2 thing. I don't know what I was thinking. I'll have to fix that

Yeah I have a 1070 but was averaging 40-50 with my latest release. While that's lower than in the past, but playable for me, not everyone has a card like that. I know ksp is a CPU intensive game and I'm using a i5 4690k so I have plenty power there. so, you are probably right about it being something in the game causing this. But I still think I can try to optimize sve a little more anyway.

Pics would help. also are you using Scatterer?

Yeah I first noticed it with 1.1 when making SVT and I always thought it was because of my ground textures but I just recently updated SVE and noticed it was just as bad with completely stock planets in 1.2

I've noticed something else that bothers me just as bad and it also looks like Z fighting. I noticed this primarily on Duna. Land a vessel on Duna and position your camera to be a low angle but not so low that you clip into the ground. You may notice that he Terrain is jumping around a little bit. Sometimes the jumping is more noticeable and sometimes it's hardly noticeable at all but it's there and once it's seen it can't be unseen Here's a video I took of it happening. this isn't on Duna but this is exactly what it looks like

Hey everyone, so today I plugged in my old video card which is a GTX 960 which is a pretty okay card that I used to develop on and I know that sve can run on it. However the performance was abysmal to say the least. tonight I plan on rewriting the configurations from scratch to see where I can gain a few more FPS. I'm not sure where the performance drop is coming from because nothing has changed since 1.1.3 minus the glowing Aurora's. Maybe Eve is not optimized enough to work with 1.2 but I can't see that being the case. But maybe what I'm asking sve to do is just too much. Either way I'm going to look at optimizing my configurations for sve tonight.

It's like that for performance reasons. Adding more layers would kill fps. SVE used to have multiple volume layers but I decided it was in the best interest of the players to make the mod as performance friendly as possible.

I'll look into it and see if I like how that looks. It's definitely a scatterer thing though. I'm not at my computer so I don't know the name of the value that needs changing Post your logs and maybe a screenshot of your gamedata folder. I can't help tonight but tomorrow I should be able to look at them No you can keep the one you have. I didn't change anything from the stock distant objects mod so it doesn't matter which one you use

@fourfa remove the plugin and you will be good

sound like a set up to a bad joke...
