This sort of thing is making me feel like ''ultra'' means medium to FD...
Low...
Even with supersampling x2.0 I see Aliasing everywhere...
I think AA was changed too but i don't have right photos from 1.2 and 1.1.

Thanks to deferred rendering it's gonna look like that for a long-long time. At least untill better version of edge blurring AA algorithm appears.
Think of Unreal Tournament 3 and GTA 4.
Who turned out the lights?
Seriously though I think you should raise that in a new bug report so that it gets proper attention.

I already posted it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned so far ...
I have had terrible stuttering since 1.3 release
it is intermittent but happens all the time in normal flight and SC. it even happens when there's very little going on.
it isn't a juddering effect as such but more like a sudden jump forward in time by a whole second or more. Disconcerting in forward flight, annoying and immersion wrecking at best and completely destructive at worst .... When in a scrap or landing..
when I get back from my holiday I need to screenvid it happening to update my ticket.
Mir isn't my rig because I could run everything on high/ultra before ...

Looks like this issue was reported many times under different sauces with a standard answering machine reply.
Also, I found something interesting in one of those reports.
What kind of deliberate stylistic design choice it is? "To hell with variety and atmosphere! Let's paste a simple white light in every system for increased blandness!" one? For what purpose? Realism?
With every passing day the meagre amount of trust I had in Frontier vanishes. Wish I had a time machine like Biff Tannen.
Bloody hell...

The second issue reported is actually a deliberate stylistic design choice, so it's working as intended.

This would then raise the question that if nothing was being done to downgrade the graphics, what on earth is going on with FDs own Quality Assurance? If you cant spot graphical changes that are bad enough to give you eye cancer then its now wonder that serious bugs are slipping through into your production releases.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought how much worse it looks since returning after a break of a couple of months. The jaggies seem to be worse even using DSR, and what is up with all the scratched and scuffed paint even though the ship and paint has been repaired to 100%?
I bought some skins for the Clipper and all I get to see are scuffed versions of it! Not cool in my opinion...
Other than that I really don;t like the emergence of the dreaded Jaggies, I used to be able to eliminate them completely at X2 DSR and a bit of anti aliasing, now even at X4 DSR (equivalent to 4K) I can still see them... totally ruins the look of the game for me.
And the stuttering... oh my lord the stuttering is worse than it was in Beta!
What has happened to Elite while I've been away?!

Xbox happened...
PC is no longer FD priority.

I found another one.
first image, i can't zoom closer.
Let's zoom out a bit...
And everything looks worse. I'm playing on ultra with supersampling x1.5.

Sorry in advance I don't check the various information outlets every day, just wondering if anyone has read any official word on this from Michael or anyone at FD?
There is no denying the game looks a lot worse recently. What on Earth has happened?!

It really is quite sad to see how far the game has fallen visually. Most graphical features have taken a sharp nosedive and I always dreaded the moment this game would make an appearance on console for this very reason.
Devs downgrade in order to maintain parity across all platforms thus making things easier on their end. It's no coincidence many of the graphical changes coincide with the release of the xbone version. Had this happened from the very beginning it would have been much easier to swallow, but to enjoy the beauty of what was alpha/beta and watch that slowly fade away with each patch is both sad and infuriating at the same time.
