Update 9: Blurring Cockpit Christmas Lights

[Daniel Cloudsifter]

Has anyone else noticed the Christmas lights appearing blurred with the introduction of Update 9? I think it has to do with the new atmospheric effects BECAUSE they get really blurry when you have steam/smoke in your cabin due to high ship heat.

Honestly, I kind of like the big/weird blurry when the steam/smoke is in the ship, but they always remain somewhat blurry even when the ship is cold/in dock.

They for some reason adjusted Low/Medium Bloom to be as blurry (and slightly broken) as High/Ultra. Try turning it off.

Screenies always help in cases like this.

Yep, I understand. I'll post some when I get back home in a few hours. Didn't have time before.

Yeah they look like garbage now, there is a weird "grainy" texture along all of the stanchions which have a light on them.

Interesting. I see this same effect without the lights attached. It's certainly worse than the last update - this is weird pixilation effect around the seems of the windows.

Ok, here are the promised screen shots!

The first one is the slight blur present all the time; in this case, docked in the station.

Slight worse in space.

And the worst when ship is overheating.

I've also noticed this weird blurring effect with ship's cockpit and a nearby star at times. However, I don't have a screen shot of that yet.

Is the cockpit window dirt that's causing the issues?

That might explain the oddity I saw with a star blurring the cockpit a couple of times. It doesn't explain the Christmas lights, which are inside the cockpit. Nor would it explain why they get worse when there is smoke/steam in the cockpit due to heat. I think it's tied to the new atmosphere effects.

I noticed this in my challenger with regular cockpit lights. The granulated appearance seems to be the light reflecting off the glass that’s behind it, but the glass is textured like the glass from a 1970‘s dining room door! The effect is worse in well lit conditions…

I’m sad to see the lights shining directly into pilot’s face are still there on the Krait.

The granulation maybe is ice? i see ice with 35% heat in a chieftain with the update 9.

That really shouldn't happen at 35%.. others have reported ice at 60-70% heat, bonkers.

Maybe it´s not ice, maybe the glass is very dirty, but looks like ice.

 

[Pigletslastand]

Hmmm.. I think this isn't the ice effect. It looks far more like the pixelated prob that OP is having.

OK, it's not just me...that's good news. Mine looks like that too....it's almost like they put a new grainy texture on all the things. Windscreen to be included.

 

[alex192004]

nope, i think is the new effect for dirt etc literally it´s dirty glass, it´s a detailed texture if you look at it closely.

There is a very grainy look to Odyssey in general.. I thought it was down to bad ailiasing and my underperforming specs.. did see someone else's vid today from their 3090 and it looked much much smoother.. is anyone with high end graphics cards still experiencing this weird pixelation? Or is it confined to lower spec'd machines?

the pics i share are with a rtx 3070. Nothing is grainy in the game. only the glass in especifics conditions.

At least that's one variable scrubbed off the list.
