Hey, Pingopete, it looks like I've found easter egg in your textures. It is somewhere near the Vandenberg launch site.

Hahaha! Well thank you! But nah that's just an artifact from err not google maps

Notgoogle notmaps is by far the best texture source.

Just use SVE for the time being

Folks, just a friendly reminder to please not pester the mod makers about released, also be aware that it is now a violation of rule 2.3f to repeat update requests.

Just gonna post this here once to say work has indeed resumed on RVE, and boy are the visuals a treat in win 64!

One of the most noticeable things is how much smoother the haze looks

Btw there was recently a fix for the pixelated line across the horizon, so I would think it's that. Is there really a difference anymore in the visuals between directx and opengl? Apart from the lens flare not working?

Ok cool, although the only issue I've been getting is the flickering ocean shader when POV moves up or down, it's almost like it's operating at a slower refresh rate with some slight lag when the camera moves, could be z fighting though, I tried changing the main menu clipping range value but it didn't seem to do much for oceans? I was actually referring more to the resolved exposure issue I posted on your thread  while I probably won't be using linux much more now, when I last did the original smoothness issues were fixed.

Ah yes, those fixed horizon colors. I'm not sure what it is with the ocean lagging behind, I though this update would have fixed it, oh well... Btw have you checked out a sunrise with the new ocean reflections yet?

Yes  The reflections add so much I didn't even know could have been improved until I saw it!

EDIT: I notcied also that zooming in or out when in IVA messes with the ocean shader quite badly, not really sure whats going on :L

Yeah, I will fix it when I have some free time. At the moment you can reset it by pressing the "rebuild ocean" button after you change your fov.

Sure, thanks. Oh also is there anyway to force aniso off, I'm loosing quite a bit of cloud fidelity, and I noticed there's no longer a line for it in the configs?

Hmm, does this have something to do with scatterer or with the windows build? The aniso off hack is no longer required for scatterer so I just removed it, you could probably just force it to what you want in the driver, if you're losing fidelity it's more likely that you have it set to something low.

Ah yes managed to get it looking great forcing it with nvidia to x16  Thanks

Notciing the huge performance boost in coming to windows. I'm now getting 80-100 fps in PQS!! Something unheard of previously, This is while running full 8k RSS textures, 4k cloud detail, and 4k city day texture. I haven't been able to get terrain textures working in 1.1 yet however.

 

A similar story for ScaledSpace too, see here (ignore the jumpiness, I think its  just some lost frames when the vsync isn't clamping fps)

nice landing, totally nailed it...   haha

[Zarbizaure]

Wow! Impressive performance with 1.1  It looks really cool! (also, what is your config to have an idea of what I could expect?)

This is why I've been shilling the windows 64bit workaround for a while.
