Known Issues

• VR users may see some vertical ‘jittering’ when looking at distant clouds – This is a priority issue, and we are currently working to resolve it.
• There are Anti-aliasing artefacts visible under some conditions when clouds are low on the horizon
• The lighting effects on the clouds, especially when the sun is low on the horizon is still very much a WIP, and will be improved.
• Currently as part of the initial release, clouds do not affect LOS for the AI.
• The legacy fog effects are not suitable for use with the new clouds – a new fog layer using the new technology will follow.
• Thunderstorms and lightning effects will follow in future updates.
• Using SLAM/AGM-65E alongside targeting pod can in some circumstances result in some ground units becoming semi-transparent to the targeting pod. This is currently a priority item to resolve.
• We have greatly improved many of the visual effects, and some tuning of brightness still remains to be completed.
• Night vision goggles do not provide sufficient illumination with no moonlight.
• Dedicated server window can hang when minimised.
• MP. Ping info missing (always zero) in player’s list.
