PSA - For those who were affected by the Terrain Material Quality Bug

[Noctover]

It seems to be fixed (at least for me) in the new patch.

Unfortunately i took a rather large performance hit this patch for some reason (PC very slow when i tab out)

But the planets look beautiful again.

The bug was in this video:

Just wanted to send you a THANKS. Seems like this fix also fixes the smudgy stars problem.

Ditto! Only tested it a short while but it seems to do the trick!

I think you've confused the two things....

His video is pre-2.3 showing the bug, and he's saying it's now fixed by default.

Your issue, yeah, changing from Ultra to High may be a workaround, but I think that's clearly not supposed to be working that way with stars on Ultra settings.

Technically no, cuz this got me thinking about the possibility of how to workaround the stars problem, cuz it seemed like an LOD and texture problem too.

Why is the "Jet Cone Quality" set to $?


Also thanks to... someone above me for pointing me towards dropping textures to high for a temp fix on the stars. Now if only I could log in for more than 14 seconds at a time.

Lol i cannot believe this. I waited for FD to fix my planet problem so they looked good again, only to have it fixed in 2.3 and now i have to lower the graphics of the STAR to high instead. These issues are obviously related and need seriously looking at by FD.

You're welcome btw .
