Graphics problem after update 14.5 overeflective starships (Lights 2.0)

theoblackwolf

After the 14.5 update my starship (arbiter class) when it has equipped the type 7 hull appearance it overreflects everything so instead of being white-black its green-gray that happens only after entering certain star systems like: K-7, Earth, Deferi Outpost 3 and Risa. And I see it on some of the other starships aswell especially Federation with that hull type and Romulan ones not on sector space tho. Please resolve this. All that only if lights 2.0 are activated. It didnt happened before this update tho with the lights 2.0 activated.

Edit: Also I would like to note that all patches until April 5th (including April 5th patch) havent corrected the issue.

There is something screwy that happened with the S14.5 update..Bringing back memories of S13 with the unbearable varnish update..

Since S14.5 Earth is very bright now, for one thing. Turning off lights 2.0 fixes it but disables all of the good that 2.0 does. FYI Many people are commenting on how bright Earth is, even the "dark" side.

Exactly!

I've also seen some new problems with disappearing geometry and other VFX since the patch. It's most noticeable on the undine assault map.

I will put in my two cents and agree with all of that.
Even others in my fleet were reporting weird visual issues in Undine Assault.
Its pointless to color the errant rifts when you cant see them until your ontop of them and the game decides to finally render it, just about as you drive into something else you can't actually see.

I don't have a shiny ship bugs, but my god the game is laggy, frame by frame gameplay and lowering settings to max doesn't do anything. WHAT THE FUCKK HAPPENED?! and stop censorring the word FUC(K) it's part of the dictionnary and has a meaning.... Each time someone says "han he said the F word" ask theqestion: Which one? Freedom?

I think they are enabling an additional light, but is not connected to the light probe that each map has, I'm pretty sure they will fix things once ViL is released, as they are changing the game (And the rendering engine) to x64.

Well seems they fixed it on the latest patch at 12/4 at least for Earth. Its interesting that the problem they claim they solved was that '' Reman shields where white in the Sol System'' when the entire lights 2.0 had reflect problems on specific surfaces and there are planets that still have the issue partially (Risa, Andoria, Vulcan etc.). We just have to wait I guess when they relealise the problem is slightly bigger not as bad as Earth was tho...

I'm guessing there's a general graphics bug and they changed the Sol map so that you no longer see it. They changed the environment or the art assets instead of fixing the bug in the code. That's also how they fixed the flickering bottles at Starfleet Academy and Risa and how they fixed the overly bright hulls on the Intel ships, though the Intel ships still don't look quite right.

The position of earth has changed to top left it used to be somewhere mid to bottom right..Esd is still in the same area relative to earth somewhat..

Im haveing an issue with the texutres and lagging, in space my ship is well jagged i guess the texture isnt as smooth and on ground missions every thing is laggy, this is fixed when I turn off lighting 2.0 but it is annoying. On another char i have problems with my defiant class when im at warp the ship looks like all the detail gets blended together and when i stop its fine.
