as always Insomnia, great work, one question though, in the top right corner i have a constant fps/time display, how can i toggle/disable it?

Great work Insomnia! Thank you for sharing.
Are you talking about with a 660 specifically, or does this game have scaling issues that I haven't read about yet?
Using the latest ReShade 1.0, and its Mediator config tool makes it very easy to enable/disable/tweak all the settings from all the injectors. My GraphicsConfiguration.xml file was almost identical to Insomnia's, but I'm using the default HUD color.
I'm only using a few effects; I prefer a darker, colder feeling to space, rather than a brighter cinematic theme.

I use DSR for no jaggies, but only get around 30fps. If I use the normal native resolution of my monitor of 1920x1200 I stay near 60fps.

Just wondering if anyone has got this to work with windows 10?
Yeah It's kinda impossible having rock solid 60 fps with this config, at 1080p, everything on ultra in-game, with a GTX660.

as always Insomnia, great work, one question though, in the top right corner i have a constant fps/time display, how can i toggle/disable it?
In the Reshade folder, open Common_settings.cfg and disable Statistics.
It's ok I just went ahead and tried it... All working fine with Windows 10
*Additional: Thank you Insomnia this is the best graphical overhaul I have found yet... I believe I will be using this one for a while.

I have it working fine on Windows 10 too on Nvidia 970 runs in game mostly at 60 fps (native refresh for my very old school 1600x1200 monitor) there is the occasional slight stutter in hyperspace, and the fps drops a bit in galaxy map and near a a station, it does look great though when cruising around a system admiring the planets. Thanks Insomnia
My view at luncntime
I made a video to show this off to a friend. I will just leave it here for anybody who wishes to watch.

You mind if I use your vid on the front page of the thread?
I wouldn't mind at all.

Thank you for sharing this Insomnia!!

Have an older card (amd 6970), so planet/galaxy textures had to be set back to default otherwise it crashes on system jumps.
Also, even though the card can run vanilla in 1080p, had to reduce to 1366x768 (centered timings / 1.5 supersampling) to get smooth fps.
Here are the some screens in that resolution:

Ah, alright. I plan on running this at 1440p on a 980Ti and was worried you were speaking in general.Yeah It's kinda impossible having rock solid 60 fps with this config, at 1080p, everything on ultra in-game, with a GTX660.
Amazing screens mate!
But why 1.5x supersampling? 1.0x supersampling @ 1080p works good on my old rig.
Well my new GTX970 arrived today just after the Braben Q&A. Didn't take much to get it installed which is good. Fired it up and I've got everything at Ultra, 1.5 supersampling and running your config and haven't seen the framerate dip at all. Didn't really get to do a whole lot, but I did drop into 38 Lyncis 4's rings to see how they look.
First thing I noticed is Gas giants look a LOT better. Hopefully I can get ReShade working so they look even better than that!

My card's generation has AMD's version of DSR disabled in the drivers, so it's the only way I can get the supersampling shimmerless AA effect that makes stuff look more 3D to me. (using X1.5 + in-game fxaa only)
It gives black borders around a smaller screen size, but I prefer it with supersampling. Just a preference thing
Are these settings changed in the config file, or the game options menu?
I am in a 6990 ATI and getting the same crashes on jump. If it is a config file change, and you could share it, it would be really appreciated!
