Patch Notes Update Horizons Beta 4 Incoming - 4pm GMT

[Roybe]

How much video memory you have and what graphics driver version you have.
Please share this information, maybe it can help me with my texture and framerate problems.
Also i am playing on Medium at 20 fps on planets.

8 Gigs Ram, i7 3770 3.5 GHz, 1 gig Vram and newest driver. I would not consider this playable...however, it is pretty!

Unfortunately that screenie is not indicative of what I am seeing...there is definitely an 'internal blue' being returned..makes the whole planet feel like walking around a snowfield at night. Way better than flat, white 'sand'.

Well, it works. But it just doesn't look pretty because the textures won't fit in memory

I think you're assuming too much, my very young apprentice... Look for the latest comment from Michael Brookes.

 

[Ozric]

nop it says horizons

Then I stand corrected... said the man in the orthopedic shoes.

 

[Ydiss]

I stand corrected by our wonderful QA team that the 470 1GB is the min spec, so my apologies.

Michael

Had me worried then I'm sadly still sporting one of those. So at least I'll be able to play, if at greatly reduced performance.

This Ice planet has Ammonia Magma volcanism, which is I guess what gives the whole place a sickly green hue

Short commute?

Maybe he wants to listen to them over and over so that he can memorize them...

 

[Patrick_68000]

Impressive list. The refining continues. Good work, Frontier !

Another thing, since the patch notes mention turret auto-deploy/stow: could we get that as a manual action, using the same "deploy hardpoints" key as the ship? It's not so outlandish an idea to use the turret or the thrusters while near the ship.

 

[CMDR Kantos Kan]

18 fps is pretty low

True but it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to play and no fidgeting around to get it to work...

And you know, it's like many things in life: as long as you didn't experience any better, you can still be quite content with what you have

Looks like Space Baby crawled by and puked on everything.

Yes this would be a welcome addition. Apart from anything else, if I discover something on the other side of the galaxy I don't want it's first impression of me to be with a turret pointing at it

One ice world. It's nicer. Although my settings are on medium.

Pistachio ice cream, perhaps ?

 

[Spanksh]

Again such a long list of fixes, and mouse controls for the SRV. Thank you so much guys!

 

[Ozric]

Dumb asssss question - whats POi?

Point of Interest. The things you can find on planets, by seeing the Blue circle from the ship and then pinpointing it in the SRV.

 

[Joe Akeem]

Many many thanks for the transition smoothing. Fine work, lads!
