Well, I kinda solved the memory problems with SE, my video card needed to be updated (AMD Radeon HD 6530D 8.982.0.0 with 2 GB of VRAM). Anyways, looking forward to 0.97 which hopefully will completely solve the "out of memory" troubles lol.

EDIT: Planning on upping my physical RAM from 4 GB to 12 GB sometime in the near future.

This card actually doesn't have any dedicated VRAM, it feeds off of the system RAM to use as VRAM, and SE apparently has troubles with that.





Desktop: FX-8350 4.0 GHz, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW 8 GB, 2 TB HDD, 24 inch 1920x1080 screen
Laptop: Core i5 480M 2.66 GHz (turbo 2.93), 8 GB DDR3 RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6550m 1 GB, 640 GB HDD, 17.3 inch 1600x900 screen

Oh. x.x I didn't know that. Then again, it's an AMD Radeon HD 6530D 512 MB. At least SE runs smoothly for me since I just recently updated my graphics card.

PS: Now that I think of it, since this card doesn't have any dedicated VRAM, this means that when I get more RAM, the performance of SE will increase (Hopefully).

Natester2013, you should post about issues like this in the troubleshooting thread.

I have a request. Could you add a small amount of noise or dithering to the rendered frames to mitigate color banding. It's only noticeable in atmospheres. If you can't that's fine, and I appreciate all the work you've done here.

^I think I remember someone in a thread a while back asking about colour banding in atmospheres too; but it turned out that's not actully's SE's fault, but monitor producers being fraudulent gits. If I remember correctly, many monitors sold as being able to display 24 bits colours can actually only do 16 bits.




I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

SpaceEngineer implied that that might be the case, but it is not. Set up a little experiment where you look at gradients on your monitor. You will find that it is quite capable to producing a much smoother gradient than is seen in SE atmospheres. So the banding artifact actually is a consequence of the way it is rendered. However, there are many games where this has been the case, so it's understandable. It would be great if that could be improved though.

Could it be a accuracy problem or a shortcut in the rendering hardware? Speed matters, so it would not be surprising if some corners are cut.

mustafa2812, now SE is under beta testing, so i don't think we will see more features, only something like "0,97 was relased!" but i don't know when it will happen biggrin

We have seen new feature announcements during that time so your opinion is contrary to precedent. (i.e. your reasoning is flawed and your view is not supported by the evidence)

I think he was just trying to say that the only feature he has released lately was something that was already implemented and that probably the next thing we will hear about .97 is that it is released...hopefully.
