Last night in the downtime, I took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest Windlight viewer.
On logging in, I have some horrible black bars all around the sky at regular interviews, which weren't there before I upgraded.
Can I fix it?

its a known bug which they've left in for us to amend, just slide the clouds slider up or down and it goes.

it desapears itself after a while... I guess it's due to textures loading and rendering... Sacha |

In your Preferences, open up the graphic preferences, expand the custom options, and move the "Sky Detail" slider that is in the lower left corner one notch or so to either side of where it is now. That fixes it in this version.

Or change the master detail setting from Ultra down one notch to High.

If you are running an ATI card, you can update the drivers to 7.12 and that fixes it or lower the sky detail. I chose the latter, as 7.12 drivers seem to cause poor running for my other graphic intensive games.

At least for me, moving the sky detail (in Preferences) either up or down fixed it. Continuing either up or down causes it to appear and disappear.
Apparently the automatic setting is carefully tuned to produce this effect which presumably is how the sky appears to the developers.  |

Not trying to play forum mod but this was talked about in the First Look Viewer forum:
/333/1.html As you read through that, you'll find there are people having other problems like not being able to hear the wind. --Hugsy _____________________
