Boxelware Team koonschi Posted March 31, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hey everybody, As we already said in our previous announcement, we always strive to improve the graphics of Avorion. For this small update, we've updated the planet visuals so they match the rest of the game better. The changes are subtle and might even be overlooked when you don't pay attention. We want Avorion to look great and unique and this is one of many steps that we will take to improve the atmosphere and achieve a more cohesive, exciting graphics style. It may not be completely realistic, but we think that the overall feel of the game will have improved by a lot. You can check them out ingame after you got the update. We'll be rolling out the changes over the next 24 hours, and you may have to restart Steam to get the update. Depending on your region, the update might take a little longer to be active, but everybody should get it within the next 24 hours. Have fun!

Boxelware Team koonschi Posted March 31, 2017 Author Boxelware Team Share Posted March 31, 2017 Oh it's not a bug. As we said, we're constantly working on improving the atmosphere of the game and getting a cohesive look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Who said Koon's have no sense of humor? Happy April, 1st and such... :P :) :D ;D ... because Avorion's planets were really awesome!!! Me loves the little fact that you actually see which planet you are approaching through a jumpgate! makes it feel a bit more consistent IMO... and aye, they make (made?) beautiful scenery: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NITROtbomb Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 been jumping around a little bit.... Its an interesting change. but is that all there is at the moment? will there be an expansion on this idea? also some of the planet graphics look a little warped and weird now that they are cubes.

I got same issue. All planets i saw today became cubes. Got a lil frightened when i saw it the first time ;D Just downloading current graphic drivers, maybe this will help (Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb). Edit: Nothing changed with current drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Nothing changed with current drivers. You have to reboot your PC every hour till 2. April , so the driver can reach full functionality. It's a known bug.
