Title: Block Sky and Shimmer
Post by: germ on August 27, 2016, 10:55:19 AM

I didn't want to start a new thread and didn't see this posted. Is anyone having problems with very blocky lines when around clouds or at night? The graphics with clouds look amazing, but more often than not the experience is ruined by these very clear differences in graphics. Basically it appears as if there are two sky backgrounds that maybe are not blending? The result are large varying blocks. Not really sure how to explain it. I can post a screen shot, but figured maybe others are already aware of this? I have more than adequate computer horsepower, running a GTX980 and my FPS is generally 60-140 with everything maxed out.

Also, has any fix or adjustments been figured out for the anti-aliasing shimmer? It has to be the #1 most annoying thing about the new graphics.

Haven't had the shimmer problem in a while, but sometimes see lines in the sky.

The blocky-ness looks even worse at night.  Especially in the Dagobah system.

Not sure if it's related, but just had my first Beta screen lock ups in the darkness.

HT was online yesterday and I think he said this would be fixed in the next patch.

(No guarantees expressed or implied....)

I was not gonna ask on the forums either but since he was online yesterday I took the liberty to ask him about our beloved sky box.

HT said he had fixed it for the next patch

I was worried about nothing  :salute
