Apologies if there's a bug report thread this should go in, but I've been hitting an issue. I've been playing UT1, both steele and normal version. Sometimes, but not always, the mission just stops at the fade-in for the second cutscene. I think it has to do with the game getting paused or losing focus any before that point, but I haven't been able to make it happen when I test that idea. It doesn't happen every time, but it's happened enough times to motivate me to post about it.

Also, are those forerunner glyphs I see for the vishnan weapon icons?

You didn't follow the instructions; you're using 3.7.2 instead of a recent Nightly build.

General Battuta · **Reply #4783 on:** November 03, 2015, 07:55:52 pm

Yep, the release post has instructions for what to check if you have a bunch of errors!

I am sad to hear that fade out bug is still around. If you can find a repro condition please let me know.

Rheavatarin · **Reply #4784 on:** November 03, 2015, 07:57:13 pm

Super excited about the new release. I'm just sad that something isn't quite working out for me. I'm not getting any models to show up properly. They are all transparent, except for any light sources (engine flares, navigation lights, etc.)

Here is my debug log:

Oh, ****. Do these builds have shadows and deferred lighting? Turn those off if possible.
Yes, Nightly builds since mid-May have the new renderer, and shadows and deferred lighting are enabled by default. So anybody having terrible FPS or graphical problems you didn't have with 3.7.2 Final, turn off shadows and (if that doesn't fix your issues by itself) deferred lighting and if you still have problems, please post your fs2_open.log file. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

I know only the first two WIH acts have received voice acting, but Tenebra (Act 3) is supposed to be in the release package right? I posted a link to the new download on another forum and someone said he/she couldn't find it.
Make sure they know that Act 3's campaign is called "Blue Planet - War in Heaven 2"; lot of confusion about that when Act 3 was first released as well.

So I disabled both and it kind of fixed the issue with the cockpits but it definitely fixed the issue for the framerate. The new issue I have is that the right side of the Erebus (the model I chose to test for the framerate) looks distorted (hard to describe; I'll post a screenshot soon). I have attached my debug log to this post, and I also posted the error I got below, though I don't know if it is related.

For some, the recent nightlys end up showing nothing but glowpoints

That sounds like my problem.

knossosfs2 · **Reply #4790 on:** November 03, 2015, 08:26:43 pm

I attached some screenshots to this post. The first attachment shows shows the Erebus distortion and the second shows the cockpit glass issue

EDIT: I figured out what was wrong with the Erebus. I messed with the model details in the in-game menu before I disabled the shadows and deferred lighting, so I just had to reset that.

For this issue, can you try entering the options screen & setting Detail->3D Hardware Textures "dots" to maximum?

(you might have hit this issue)

Quote from: General Battuta on November 03, 2015, 07:42:01 pm

We need to update with a mod.ini or whatever that automatically disables deferred and shadows. They're way too expensive for our missions.

Deferred rendering alone should increase framerate, I think it should only be disabled if it causes graphical issues.

knossosfs2 · **Reply #4792 on:** November 03, 2015, 08:50:13 pm

Yeah I had messed with that and the model detail before trying Ralwood's suggestion, so I set them both to maximum and I'm not having any issues except for the cockpit glass rendering.

General Battuta · **Reply #4793 on:** November 03, 2015, 09:01:14 pm

My experience with deferred rendering has been a lot of slowdown and jitter when there are a lot of lights onscreen, but maybe that experience is obsolete!

I do think shadows are too expensive to be on by default.

I have noticed slowdown issues that I thought were particle related, but maybe it's lights? Worth checking into further!

Also agreed on shadows, they kill my system as well.

I don't know how dumb a question this is, but does the Freespace Open Installer just not work with this?
Cause it just fails all of the files instantly.

I can download them normally; I was just trying this first.

I had the same issue - I was excited that this was already picked up by the installer, but sad that all downloads failed. At least it did create the folder in my freespace directory!

niffiwan · **Reply #4798 on:** November 03, 2015, 10:36:47 pm

Unfortunately Blueplanet Complete in the installer is broken. I can't see any obvious reason for this, it might be an installer bug?

General Battuta · **Reply #4799 on:** November 03, 2015, 10:45:21 pm

Yes, it is broken in the installer, and this appears to be an installer-side problem. That's why the release post does not tell you to use the installer.

We'll add instructions to use the installer once it's live.
