wut is that (ksp 1.4)

Ye olde texture bug. Scene change should fix.

[Sesadre]

So, I downloaded the mod, put the game data into the game data folder, and when I loaded my save (1.4.1) the entire sky and water were bright white, and any planet that had an atmosphere or water was bright white in those locations. I then messed with all the settings trying to find what might work, however nothing would, still just all white. If there is any way to fix this please tell me.

I am pretty sure it says it is not compatible with 1.4, Blackrack will update it when he has time and inclination

Well, you don't put the gamedata folder into the gamedata folder. You put the scatterer folder that's inside the gamedata folder into your gamedata folder.

So I've been having an issue with Scatterer where at certain altitudes everything goes black except the body I'm orbiting. When I uninstall Scatterer the issue goes away. The only other mods I have installed are EVE and Near Future Solar. Any help is appreciated!

Still doesn't work, just all white. I also got this weird effect on the water.

That’s definitely because the mod is not installed correctly. Pleas post a screenshot of your gamedata folder.

Hello guys , im new using this mod but apparently its been quite a significant hit in fps  (i have a 1080ti gpu)

I was wondering if theres anything I can do to minimize the performance requirements of this mod?

 

thanks

If a 1080ti is not enough to get the full eyecandy in KSP, then what is the recomended hardware??

I know KSP performance wise does not much care for your GPU, its the CPU that matters the most. But I always assumed the nice graphic stuff will be done on the GPU. Is this correct?

[blackrack]

Hi everyone, I have been working on a performance update for EVE for the last week and haven't really had time to fix the new scatterer issues. I will fix soon, in the meantime check out my reduced CPU usage for the EVE volumetrics:

Im just not getting scatterer at all. The little menu thing shows at boot up but there are no effects to be seen anywhere. =(

Check the OP for how to report a bug correctly.

Use Antialiasing or wait for the fix to be released.

Personally I'm fine with a gtx 1060 and you could be fine with less, just keep in mind that the combination of EVE+scatterer can be very expensive due to several reasons. I will also work on improving scatterer's performance.

[Sesadre]

KSP: 1.4 Windows

Problem: White Atmosphere/Ocean

Mods installed:

Scatterer - 0.0326

EVE

Distant Objects

KRE

Reproduction steps:

You don't really need to reproduce it when it's constantly bright white.

heck, from personal experience, a GTX 1050 Ti and a Haswell i3 is pretty good with AVP+Scatterer  (at least until you look directly at jool's 6 cloud layers)

great mod!!.

However, I have been experiencing some exceptions.

I have the latest version of Scatterer (0.0324) and it appears to have sorting issues with Laythe and Jool.

Looking at the release notes, there seemed to be an issue with this that was fixed back in v0.0234 (Fixed draw order issue where clouds on Jool render over Laythe's sky.)

I gave the past couple of months in the thread to see if this was a known issues, but didn't see any posts related to it.

I'm running KSP 1.3.1 with SVE (v1.2.8.0) and EVE (v1.2.2.1) addons.

If there's any other useful infomation I can provide let me know.

I've got a bunch of brave adventurers headed for Laythe to set up a colony, but now they're all crying they won't be able to send pretty Jool rise pictures to the folks back home.

 

 

I've always this issue in 1.4.1 (that I already had in 1.3.1). I've made some tests, and while I zooming out very far from ship view, I noticed that there is a sort of cube where my ship is in the center of it. And when the view is out from this cube the issue disappear. I got this issue only around Jool for now.

See on pics:

• Jool issue with Scatterer and EVE
• Jool issue with Scatterer and EVE bis

Maybe it will help to find a solution.

I'm running a GTX 670 with an i5-3670k and I get good performance at 1200p with all but the more extreme vehicle part counts. Scatterer's rendition of Jool doesn't seem to be a significant load for my setup.

1.3.1

1.4.1

Strangely though in 1.4.1 Jool looks very dark and featureless (the pic above was taken on the fully lit side of the planet).

First time I'd been out there in this version... quick jump via Hyperedit to get the FPS number.

@purpleivan What you're experiencing is a known Scatterer Bug. Just wait for an Update or turn off Ocean Shaders.
