Planet 'POPPING' Since 1.03 is it just me?

[Nutter]

Ok, this is spoiling the game somewhat, NEVER had this before 1.03.

What ever was switched off on 1.03, can we switch it back on in 1.04 - thanks

It's not just you & I agree it looks a bit naff.

I hate popping too, I know not everyone has great systems, but they should have made it an option and not a mandatory low setting.

I haven't noticed that in my week of playing. Not sure if it's in-game graphic settings or not (low settings vs. high settings), but I run at the highest possible settings and can't recall ever seeing a "Planet Pop".

 

[CmdrSimonsen]

They could fix it by putting in that awesome popping sound ... I'd dig that

 

[Im_Lost]

Yea same here. I'd like an option to turn off LOD switching completely (the ship/station details also pop in quite noticeably too). It looks ugly and there is no need for it when your running a high spec system :/

Has anyone tried messing around with the .xml files to see if there are any over-rides?

... the guys like see problem where not have a problem...

I get it on Asteroids constantly since the patch, also on landing bay designation (the yellow square thing I have to land in)

 

[Hexen]

Doesn't bother me really. But I had few laughs fo + rep

I have started to get this problem. Doesn't happen all the time but more than once I have almost hit a planet because it popped so late.

maybe it needs to be changed (or have the option for it at the very least) planets popping up like that may give a poor user a heart attack or make him/her self destruct when they get scared

to be serious tho, i would rather see them slowly come into view then to plop

stations pop a lot too

LOD defaults have been getting worse since gamma, in beta 3 it was superb, no real noticeable pop or fade in on stations and everything was running smooth. Still not had any word from anyone at FDev as to why the LOD settings are turned so drastically down and if there is a way we can turn it back up ourselves if they have no plans to change it back.

Let's hope they are not trying to flat line it for consoles !

Hope so too, but I really doubt they will go to console.

As for the OP, I don't get this. Planets sorta fade in over a second. Must be a setting somewhere.

Planet popping...

...sounds great, what kind of guns do you need to pop planets?



Way to spoil any explorer's income... just fly ahead of them into every system and pop all the planets before they can scan them.
Even more hilarious will be all the stations flying off into space in all directions with nothing to orbit around!

Soon FD would have to enable in-system hyper jumps, since all the stations would be like 273,000 LS away and going.
