The new sky/lighting/fog/water in oin the dev branch. Anyone tried it? Any render problems? Any FPS problems? Is FPS better? Worse? By how much?
-
-
Umm.. I would ask where/what the fuck that is, but I feel I would get banned.. Also I feel I will get banned for this!
So I tried to use the dev branch, got in, but I cannot see any servers at all. :(
-
Would love to test it but the only server I find is "Facepunch Dev Server" and there I get "ConnectionFailed" all the time. :(
-
On steam, right click on rust - Properties - Betas, Choose the dev branch
-
That's only one half, next half: Find a dev server... :(
-
does the implementation of water mean thirst is also coming soon? :)
P.S. I enabled the dev branch and now I can't see any servers at all :/
-
We couldn't check that even if we wanted to. Servers with dev state are offline or invisible at that beta branch.
-
Can't wait to get home from work..
-
Same :[
-
Checking it right now, i will try it and edit :)
-
Garry I am running with all settings up at 60fps without the sky. I tried with sky today and shuttering got so bad I had to disconnect. It seems to run fine for about 10min and then would go back to horrible lag and weird shutter. It is unplayable with my GTX 680 and read another guy saying unplayable on his r270.
-
I'm on a 760 + i5 4570, my FPS has dipped a bit to about 40FPS, i usually get 60+FPS
I play with Grass on and on highest settings
-
I've tested it.
Big FPS drops are present when facing sides with lots of terrain - for example standing at beach area of the map and looking over Everust Mt. It drops about 15-20 FPS between looking directly at sea or looking over terrain so it's rather unplayable at most times atm.
I've tested it at own server, I'm positive that FPS drop wasn't caused by oversized buildings or people activity.
Other than that - water looks great, didin't notice any problem with a look of it. New sky's cool as well.
#edit, oh and I'm running low spec, Gt9600 with grass off and quality turned down. It works absolutely fine at regular branch servers though.
-
So there goes new sky update.
Hopefully it won't get pushed to next release.
-
I've now tested it on dev server as well and the same problem seems to be there. Althought it may not be as significant - not sure if the latest 10MB patch had anything to do with it. Not a clue. Still, update rather lowered average FPS in most cases, yup.

About the sky,camp fire and water
-It does looks very good
-I don't think there is any time with full darkness like before (players will miss it, you actually want to see every light from houses)
-its also much easier to see at night
-sometimes the moon is bumping, maybe when there is lag spikes
-The water looks great, but maybe it's movement speed is too high?
also you can go under water very deeply now without be dead, players will be bases underwater and hide
-I think the new bow looks great
-The new camp fire looks good
-The small storage box looks very smooth and nice
-i had stone hatchet, for some reason after re-log, it became red with a slot for attachment
it writes "0 condition" so i guess it has something to do with the durability, but why it has one place for attachment?
-Bow don't have any description or name
-Stuff only loses condition after logging out
-Everytime i log out and in, my broken items change their attachment slots (items that shouldn't have any attachments)
-To see broken stuff you need to update it's slot by moving something to there
-Throwing broken items on the floor then picking them will make them to be new again (perfect condition)
Some pics from the update

I guess you'll pay attention on this thread, i will offer you to read those threads :) (in-games bugs and exploits)

if you can post something there so other players will pay attention too, i'll be very happy, thanks
Also, personally i think the old grass was nicer with less fps drops
-
Yay, I finally could connect to the server.
It looks beautiful, but:
My lowest FPS before was around 20, now it's 4.
There were some weird green dot lines at the top of the screen going down for around 2 cm but as soon as I looked to the ground they where gone and I wasn't able to recreate this, so no screenshot.
-
I'm getting 80-100 fps with a 760 GTX, i5 4670k and 16 GB of ram
-
New issue noticed - moon is glitching at some point. Just going further and then skipping back few inches.
-
My friend just logged in on his I7 laptop
THe sky is beautiful, really. the moon looks amazing and the fact that the all-black nights are gone is cool.
The sun is quite large at sunset though. Like, really really large!
The water movement does look quite unnaturral, it moves way too fast. Take that as a word from a surfer ;)
With FPS we didn't see any difference. alot of people were complaining but he had no problems.
You can walk through the water. (i guess this is because of your idea about the swimming feature coming?
All in all it's nice! :)
-
Looks good! I like it! alot of graphical issues with the moon skipping back and forth, the items regain full condition if you throw them on the ground and pick them up again. I get now get like 5-15 fps when before this I got 20-35 fps, My computer is trash if you're thinking that xD
-
I'm at work, can somebody please make screenshots of all the new models in game ? Thanks in advance.
-
A bit of FPS drop looking in some directions.
-
The new sky looks absolutely astonishing and will add plenty of "feeling" to the game, but I must say that I will be VERY disappointed if there's no more pitch black nights...
One of the most satisfying things in the game is to attack/raid/defend during a pitch black night not knowing who are running around/with you.
-
I took some, have a look 5 posts above yours
-
I saw thanks, I'd like to see also the new storage boxes, the new campfire...
-
correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the moon casts light, if they added overcast or different phases of the moon it would become darker.
-
Well there is one of the storage boxes and the camp fire, but it's little darkI saw thanks, I'd like to see also the new storage boxes, the new campfire...
-
Well hopefully. But I read from somewhere that there will be no more pitch black nights after the sky update... Might be wrong though. Hope I am.
-
Now after the sea is patched, is there going to be like lakes and shit? like on the pictures garry posted b4 :3
-
Well I see some FPS drops but it's not this bad. Using 660Ti and Core i7 870.
Hopefully no1 will be able to build anything under water ;-)
-
I think your screen shows nearly nothing, sorry but the water looks terrible from your point of view, cannot see the sky and grass is turning ... äh turned off I mean.Well I see some FPS drops but it's not this bad. Using 660Ti and Core i7 870.
Hopefully no1 will be able to build anything under water ;-)
Are there flying trees !? :)
Keep on working Garry, looks good what you have realized so far.
Even if this is an early access lots of people have a lot of fun!

Hes underwater :D You can walk down the slopes - there is no entity for water height yet so it has no collision = no swimming. What you see there is the water shader from below :)
-
But I love my new home! Only thing is I have no idea how to get back up:
But back to topic: Weirdly the picture above had lower FPS than this one (more or less the opposite effect than one guy here told, the picture below is my first 60 FPS experience) :
-
Clouds during the night seemed to be moving really quickly. Intended?
-
why i cant see dev server? its offline atm or what? im not banned. (nvm) dev server like rest off server. but i dont see any new sky/light/fog
-
I know you guys are still testing it and stuff, but please, do not remove pitch black nights. I mean, we got only like 2-3 minutes of pitch black nights anyway. It is fine the way it is right now. Or, as someone else said, you could add moon phases so we would have pitch black nights according to the moon's phase. That would be great, but please, do not remove it just because people cry they can't see anything during pitch black nights. It is a part of the game and it makes it realistic.
-
Can't find dev servers.

spongbob is that you ?But I love my new home! Only thing is I have no idea how to get back up:

I don't agree with this. Not being able to do anything for 2-3mins at a time every night isn't fun. The only people who run outside during those times are people with their gamma turned up and even then it's still too dark to do anything.
What I wouldn't mind is an overcast night, that blocks out the moon, and makes it slightly darker. No where in real life do nights become so dark you can't see an inch in front of you, unless you live in a cave.
