My sun and nebulae are become ugly - kleinsuess2000 - 07-22-2020

I have been playing the game for a while, and I found that dis mod has improved the screen quality of freelancer. But recently my game have changed the texture of the sun and nebula for some reason. Take Thuringia as an example:


Before:

Now:

You can notice that the sun has become a white circle, and the nebula has lost its edge transition.

Today I learned that I was playing at reduced settings this entire time.

Yah, this bug (or what is it even) can happen from time to time, these options are just reset and their values set to "0.00" by itself, but at the same time there are checkboxes in game settings as if everything is on. Weird things~

It might make sense to set the "Read-only" attribute in PerfOptions.ini properties to avoid this in the future. Tbh, I thought about it, but didn't do. I ran into this bug only once (a couple month ago) and it never happened again.

Won't messing with this trigger the anti-cheat?

This is your game settings, a save as it were. Freelancer defaults to 0.00 for unknown hardware (read: new graphics cards), which is why many of you will have this issue.

Hmm... Honestly I doubt this can explain the sudden change of these options. I don't really think my game considered my hardware "unknown", at least because I didn't even have any hint of lowering the game settings all this years (many years) and my nebulae and solars looked gorgeous. But then suddenly the settings change and the surrounding space starts to look like sh... Crap. Yah. Nothing happened that would differentiate the state of my PC that day from the previous day. Nothing at all, for sure. I just started the game as always after eight hours and the settings changed.
