Mission: Sarita

While testing entree in challenge 7.

I found a very weird screen effect. the background went all grey and weird on space map.
and ground map was just plain ugly.


On the second last map and last map.
There is a very messed up screen effect.

I'll provide screen shots showing what I mean.

This Screen went like this after moving away from the planet.

Took this screen shot from the beam in location and the screen effect was present when the map finished loading.

The screen effect was present where ever I went on the map.

and here is the view with the camera under water.

With the camera partly submerged the screen went back to normal.
AS soon as I took the camera out of the water the screen returned to being "ugly"

That looks like there's something wrong with the Backdrop Template for both maps. Can you let me know what you are using or just get me your mission ID and I'll check it out.

sorry Can't remember what I set it to, for backdrop.

This is under investigation.

This looks like the heatwave effect.

there is a Heat wave Effect on space map.
and also a static effect set to appear after certain non mission reach marker is reached.


Ground map Can not remember if I placed a Heat Wave Effect on map.
For sure there is a rain effect. (set on to appear after component complete)

As I recall some of these backdrop effects can look drastically different at different graphics settings, some even look worse at higher settings.

The heat wave effect exists for both ground and space.

I don't know if it's related, but one of my missions uses the old ESD. The corridors with windows now look almost pitch black.

oh I know it exists for both.

just can't remember if I put it on the ground map.



1 question: Is the heat wave effect supposed to look like that?

It didn't look like that for me before when I made it.


2nd question It's not just on my end? or would it look kind of like that for everyone? **"depending on Graphics settings in options menu."

i8472

sorry thegreendragoon1**



ok
Would it be okay if I edited the project?

or since it's an entry into the challenge I'm not allowed to?... since it doesn't break the mission.?

** By edit I mean remove heat wave effects.

crypticfrost

This is the Heatwaves FX on both maps which is causing this. Remove that and that nasty grey-brown look vanishes.

Thank you for all the work you do with posting on Forums.

And thank you for looking into this.

Hum I must have had settings set differently pre LOR than what they are now, probably why I didn't notice it before.


Thank you.
