Gas giants will changed to the ray-marching rendering in the future. They will be fully volumetric, together with stars and clouds on terrestrial planets.

| It seems you're doing great things SpaceEngineer, those gas giants are gorgeous. I admit I'm a bit envious of steam testers me too

Very good!
But then I can only hope that I have a new computer by then! 
Don't forget to look here.

I think that cleared it up. I'll let you know if I see any more.

| With the latest update I feel like sometimes the RAM and VRAM aren't being cleaned properly for some reason. Whenever I'm loading in a lot of nodes and I zoom back out my framerate remains low. 
More details available upon request.
Edit:
Also, I know this has been something for quite a while now, but occasionally the procedural generation outputs some rather unnatural looking lines in planetary terrain. 
In any case great progress on the latest update. Especially digging the MSAA.

This is called LRU cache - Last Recently Used. Nodes and other stuff are not being deleted from memory until free memory is needed for new object. It is not a bug or memory leak, it is how SE works.

| Will screenshots on steam show the GUI? Is there a way to make them not show the GUI?

No way, Steam screenshot capture just takes the game output image and save it into file. Game couldn't know what it's output was captured.

You could do that when you press the Steam's capture button the GUI hides for a few frames 
The problem is: How to know which one is it? (I know that you can change it)

Steam update shouldn't overwrite user locations file. Isn't it?

| Excellent update. Loving the persistent user settings. Nice to have Galaxy model brightness persisting without having to edit Main.cfg, thanks!!!
I'm getting an occasional issue where diffraction spikes being in-frame causes about a 75% slowdown. I've confirmed that it's the "halo" effect, not the ghosts. The slowdown is unaffected by disabling ghosts, but goes away when I disable Diffraction spikes. It doesn't always occur, and doesn't occur immediately. I neglected to grab the SE.log file the last time it happened, but I will next time.
