Re: What other games do you play?

Haven't really tried anything other than 1440p.  Can't recall exact settings but it's custom mix of ultra and some medium settings. It was after the relativity update that I now deem it unplayable on my PC.  1-2 fps where near black holes and maybe max of 14 fps on planet surfaces. I feel like I wou...

Re: Astrophotography

Haven't been on the forum for quite some time, so this was a nice little heads up. Seems that more often than not the southern hemisphere misses out on majority of the good comets, and when we do get a good one, it's lost into the footnotes of history and not mentioned anywhere unless you search for...

Re: A very PC discussion

Has anyone used a Radeon 6000 series (aka RDNA2) on SE?  Last I heard which is not directly related to SE but is relevant to SE, that RDNA2 was not so good with OpenGL but recent drivers where AMD reworked OpenGL support has seen big improvements, 30+ % in most games, bringing them comparable to nvi...

It was heard here on the east coast of Australia and very loud in NZ from what I heard people saying there.

I didn't hear it, either didn't notice or the dividing range in Australia blocked it as I am just on the other side of it an hour or so north of Melbourne.

Been a while since my friend and I took any pics as the weather was bad for many months but we got these 2.

Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990

Found a bug with the graphics setting for "Fast temporal rendering".   If you un-tick it, it always defaults back to ticked when restarting SE.  All other settings seems to stay as set. 

It's in the latest beta build with volumetric rings.

Just 16GB since it's ddr3. Not much point going for full capacity 32GB expensive kit on such an old system.

I just pick a good reference frame and let the batch preprocessing script do the work.

I recently added more ram and swapped out my 13 year old HDD for an SSD.

To batch process 10 pics would take 50min and often crash, now 86 pics only took 25min without issue.

I think this one is good enough for my liking and I shall call it done.   86 pics at 2 min each, 20 darks at 2 min, all cooled to -15c and we also got a coma corrector so the image improved dramatically,  HFRs from high 5s to low 3s. Also nice seeing how the rejection works in pixinsight. Fair few s...

Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990

Anyone recently having performance issues with spacecraft addons?  For example the ISS had little to no difference in fps but now when I go near it the fps drops to 7, this happens to all spacecraft.   I tried looking for them in steam to try remove and re-add them but I can't find where in steam to...

Yes, performance is almost halved by using emulated FP64.
Still a lot faster than native FP64 since that is 1:64 rate on nvidia and a still slow 1:16 rate on AMD.
