I christen this planet Satan

I run elite as a non-steam game through steam, and take the screenshots through steam. I think that allows me to get around the lack of high res screenshots, but I'm not entirely sure. And it might not be a viable option for everyone, either.
The screenshots are still 1:1 (as good as you see it) though right? Its just that you cant take the 4K shots.
 
not sure what you just said. lol
If you use steam, go into your library, and at the bottom there's a plus sign with "Add a game..." next to it. Click that, select add non-steam game, and select the launcher. The game will run in steam, will show that you're playing E: D, you can shift tab to talk to people, and you can take screenshots through steam instead of the game's default option.

TBH I don't know the difference. I'm on a 60" TV running on ultra. So yeah, it's as good as I see it I suppose? I'm not sure.
 
Nice bit of world design, Frontier! I can see the colonists queuing up to come here... What's that noise I can hear? Sounds like screaming souls. Can't be.


Here's an even larger version! You can see some people with quaint-looking fork type affairs on the surface. I hope they're wearing HE Suits!


nof fixed - PS. Am having trouble with the old alt-F10 at the moment, doesn't seem to work, is anyone else having an issue?

Why are you taking photos of my mother in law's home?
 
Probably on the TV it's still HD, that is 1080, TV size doesn't affect that (my monitor is still HD resolution despite being a fraction of the size of my TV.) The 4K screenshots would require a 4K TV to show at that as native resolution, as far as I know. EDIT and PS, few graphics cards can run 4K at a decent frame rate, there is noticeable stutter when taking a 4K grab. And yes, ALT + F10 no longer works for me, haven't tested in solo. Shame, I liked those giant shots!

They don't do any world design, it's too much work, they let algorithms do it for them. It's all procedural and not created by designers.
 
I see your Satan planet, and I raise you Satan planet with Halo

A planet trying to reform its wicked ways? Heh!

Here's a 4K grab from the beta, back when I could get them (and chrome Vipers were shinier) - if you max size it, and it is larger than your screen, then you aren't running in 4K :) As you can see, the difference in size is significant! EDIT you need to right click and open image in new tab, the forum scales it down and doesn't have a full size option that I can see.

If you REALLY wish to visit hell, just visit downtown Houston, Texas during summer... It's worse than being in a hot sweaty armpit.

Actually I have visited the Houston area and I can confirm the heat is insane. It was 115-120 degrees F everyday.

The area also featured people in cowboy hats wearing long sleeve shirts and blue jeans and cowboy boots just walking around like normal, even though I could barely breathe due to the heat.
 
Hello The Law! Yes, you win.

Nice name btw. We'd be next to each other in The Library.

I'm terribly sorry sir, I thought I was taking photos of your mother in law.
 
Seen a couple of these hell-worlds, they remind me of Char from the SC2 universe :). Didn't note where this was unfortunately but its around the 7 Andromedae area. This is the view from one of the stations:

That i not a 4K picture, it is a 8K FUHD picture :)
 
So you have a choice, be able to take screenshots or Attempt to go for the elite competition since any Solo Play will make your attempt null and void.

I choose screenshots and the Scenic Route! :) While exploring the Pleiades recently, I was switching to Solo for screenshots a fair number of times.


Oh, and for me, Alt-F10 "hangs" the client for a good 3 seconds!
