Anyone else noticed Planets render better in 2.4?

Or is this my imagination?

More detail, less texture popups..

Im not sure though, could be because of the position of the star and how it lights up my home planet now, but.. it looks better..
 
I only played a little last night because i caught a vicious flu and it's hard not to fall asleep each half hour... : (

Anyway while flying to a station near a ELW must say my eyes can't leave the planet during the final approach and i thought : "damn i didn't notice how this planet looks great last time i went" then "nah it's only my eyes because of the fever everything is shiny that's all".

So i'm troubled by your thread now : there must be something so.

I will check again later ! ^_~
 
New graphics of planets in the system map, galatic map runs sooo much better, less popping up.... my CPU isn't even working as hard. No idea about the new 'content' being 5 kylies out at the moment, but a vast improvement in performance as always appreciated.

And sunglasses, don't forget the sunglasses ;)

Yer imagination...I put in a 3 hour session in and around colonia...nothing has changed and the planets are exactly the same as they were yesterday, last week, last month etc etc etc. Game runs smooth enough but on jumping in, the star still looks cartoonish fer a second or two while it loads properly...that was there before and its there today as well...literally nothing has changed far as I can tell ^
 
I don't notice any major improvements or refinements, although that could partly be because horrible sound bugs kept distracting me when I was around surface ports.

Perhaps the fps was a little better at a certain port where the drop and input lag was awful pre-2.4 (a Fed military/research port below the Pleiades), but other than that nothing's immediately stood out with surfaces.
 
Every big new update I think the same thing. Stuff looks better. I thought I noticed that the textures on the canopy look better in the light. More little scratches and whatnot.

I am pretty sure it is just a placebo effect.
 
So I'm with Mon on this, but literally two minutes ago my wife walked by and asked if something was new with it, and that it looks better. And she has so little interest in my video games that I could be playing Liesure Suit Larry for all she knows.

I believe there was something in the patch notes about optimizations for loading and rendering (same graphics and textures, just more efficiently rendered or something to that effect).

Oh, and have some rep for Liesure Suit Larry reference!
