Sun Visible Through Walls on ESD

sle1989 · April 2016

Part of the sun is visible through the walls on ESD.

Deep Space Nine too... And stars sometimes still rendered as low-poly spheres. That means effect rendered when it shouldn't and not rendered when it should.

I think it's a more general problem. I've now also seen this happen in the the "Sunrise" mission in space. The star is shining through my ship, asteroids and so on.

It seems to be showing in a lot of places it's not supposed to. If you could post any other locations you've seen it in this thread that'd be helpful. CrypticSpartan is trying to collect a list of all the locations affected.

I first noticed it on DS9 (ground). It looks like some of the stars have a lens flare effect and it's those that are affected.

I am seeing this in: Ganalda Station, DS9, both Fed and KDF Fleet Starbases, so far.
I am on the ground map for those locations, the sun is "coming through" the walls.

I can not for the life of me figure out where else I saw that sun through the walls thing....
I just remember thinking what a strange place to see it.
It wasn't Ganalda Station because I was just there and did not see anything.

My memory is not what it used to be. LOL!

Last night while DOFFing I noticed that suns associated to named systems in sector space was visible through the hull of my ship, while I flew by them.

It seems to be the animation (or whatever it is) on the sun, any sun that is causing this.

Pics here: New Romulus Ground and Space (hmmm...I wonder if people not on google can see these links)

I've noticed the same effect on DS9 as well. I have the latest graphics card drivers installed too. I adjusted various in game, and graphics card settings and no change on the light effect/lens flare effect showing through the ground or map objects.

edit: I also made an in game bug report as well.

edit 2: the effect can still be seen through any ship or DS9 itself on the Deep Space 9 space map as well.

The reason the sun is visible through the walls is simple... you must have created a Kryptonian character ^^

swatop · May 2016

Its not only the suns... I also have my deflector light shining through my ship.

Hey Guys,

Thanks a million for all the reports. I've submitted this through the Operations Support Team (Bug Hunters) again after testing and reproduction.

As soon as I have an update, I'll let you know.

bobsled624 · May 2016

Update incoming!

So, this has been looked at, worked on and fixed....

And here's the report from @tacofangs;

It's EVERYWHERE!!!!

No, really, it pretty much is.
(that's bad.)
But I fixed it!
(that's good!)
But I did it on the wrong branch. So you won't be seeing it until AoY. . .
(that's dumb)

Sorry about that. Have patience.

So the resolution to this is coming.....Soon™

dlmc85 · May 2016

Lol, so after all we confirmed Taco is human aand not an android XD

philhodgson · July 2016

Just to update this thread -

The correction was supposed to be coming with AoY.

I am still getting this bug on ESD as of last night.

lopequil · July 2016

This also happens on the Yorktown bridge and no, it isn't that kind of lens flare.

where2r1 · July 2016

Well...if it is still going on....
Taco fixed it on a "branch" of the program that never made it to the live server with the Expansion.
Hope they are able to figure out which "branch" the fix went to. LOL!

If only such x-ray vision worked on men's swim trunks.

>_>
<_<

lopequil · July 2016

The way my KDF dresses on Risa you wouldn't need X-ray specs.

philhodgson · July 2016

Could any devs give us an update on this?

It's frustrating because we know it has already been fixed by taco- it just needs including in an update! Any chance of it being Thursday?!

+1 to this problem...Simple answer to this..The sun is too bright so where is the button where we can dim the sun???

sgtfloydpepper...ROFLMAO........

philhodgson · July 2016

That's a good theory actually - introduce trilithium weapons to the game and we deal with all the shining ourselves.
