| so far nothing troubling. And the autopilot is, wow. And say goodbye to my work day.
Some translation to fix, a nice thing to do in international forum sections.

| Found a bug or two in RC2:
There's a ridiculous amount of crater basins on Titans. Also, I can't find a single Titan with terrestrial life- unicellular or multicellular. I used the search function to do seven 100 ly searches across the milky way and it didn't find a single one.
Also I think the bug where storms would get cut in half is back. I found a gas giant with seven Great Red Spots, three of which were cut in half. Restarting game doesn't fix it. The planet is RS 8476-3604-7-1073543-551 9

| Just downloaded and played RC2 a bit, here are my first impressions:
As a tweak-all-the-settings junkie the first thing I noticed is that the terrain detail slider now only goes up to 1.0, instead of the old 2.0. Does this mean that maximum terrain quality has been permanently lowered, or that 1.0 in rc2 is equivalent to the "old" 2.0?
Two other things: firstly, there seems to be a bug where the terrain/planet appears to be shaking if you are extremely close to the ground (1-5 meters). I know that currently SE really isn't meant to be played at this scale, but since this bug didn't exist in rc1 I think it is worth reporting. EDIT: Here is a gif of the shaking bug in action, which is especially evident with water reflections. When the time is paused it looks normal, then when time is unpaused and run at x1 speed, the glow on the water appears to be shaking and changing position, as if the planet was shaking relative to its star. It is especially obvious near the horizon.
Secondly, can the new "smooth" free camera be disabled with some setting or config tweak? As much as I love smooth everything, freecam smoothing seems to be too inconsistent and floaty IMO, playing with it is annoying, frankly. It feels sort of like mouse acceleration in bad console ports.
By the way, the new bump-mapped planet textures are amazing. They add so much depth to the surface, it's wonderful. Also, thanks for fixing the music player crash bug, I can now skip through 20 tracks safely!
Born too early to explore space... But just in time for Space Engine.

| Quote ZackG (  ) Bad idea. that community is toxic as hell.
Name a place SE could go that has a great community. Seriously, name one. This is the internet, ALL gaming communities over a certain population are toxic.
Quote PlutonianEmpire ( ) Since I have a low end machine (see my sig for specs), do I need to limit or minimize the number of times I install a new patch or version of SE?
No, why would that matter?

Read the changelog. The max LOD you can set via the GUI is 1, but any LOD can be set by the console.

Jet sound effects? Was this added in RC2, or was it in the game before?

Hasn't this bug always been around?
Love SpaceEngine!

| Quote JackDole ( ) Let's hope that Microsoft does not come any ideas.
For example: Every book that has been created with Word may be marketed by Microsoft. Without permission.
That is impossible. Due to monopolistic practices, Microsoft has been under U.S. Department of Justice & an EU technical committe until recently. They would never stand for such a thing. Besides, Microsoft right now under Satay has been moving in a new direction, supporting open source & multi-platform support.

| The specular bump map detail looks fantastic but I found a bug: if you try and get close to the surface they glow or the camera overexposes or something.

| Reporting what I can so far as far as bugs (apologies if any of them were already known and I'm just being redundant)
(AMD Radeon 6600, 512mb VRAM, 6gb RAM, Windows 10)
- Most planets in the system browser still do not show up (did I understand this to be a bug with the atmosphere models doing this?)
- New ship warp system development is nice, though while the "go to" or the "jump to" features do attempt to work, neither of them let the ship actually arrive at any destination. The jump to seems to hit a wall some light years away from any planet, while the Go To fails to slow the ship down in time to make a stop, resulting in catapulting past it, back out into interstellar space and spins out of control.
- Cloud rendering on some planets are bugged with vertical stretching, jutting out of the atmosphere
- When using the landing feature, some atmospheres take minutes before they appear.
- Sun sprites flicker wildly when navigating in their systems

Thanks for the info!
EDIT: Concerning the sounds, there's three minor things that could be improved(SpaceEngineer is probably already aware of them):
1. The sound should be muted when in vacuum
2. The sound should be audible in free-movement mode too
3. Breaking the sound barrier should be a thing

| I absolutely LOVE RC2!! It is release ready and is such a major leap from RC1. While this might be nit picky I am not a fan of the new sound effects and prefer the older ones.
