Great enhancement apart from lava

Well done devs :waving_hand: … the game is completely change. The enhanced version is very good much smoother and really beautiful for most parts thanks. The only criticism I have is about the lava… it is too red imo and I preferred the old version with more contrast (more orange and yellow) Thanks again for the work.

Well, I like the deep reds, but I have to agree that the lava could use more oranges and occasional yellows to enhance the appearance of lava with the UE5 color pallette.

up close the red is pretty overbearing however at a distance looking at the volcano the lava gives it a very menacing atmosphere, before it was “oh its a volcano its dangerous, because its a volcano” now its a “that place looks evil and i probably shouldn’t go there unprepared”

Well when it comes to coloration, I’m all good with any of your favorite lava colors. When it comes to lava “true location,” I am ALL about the improvements or at least my perceived improvements. I feel like I am not hitting “invisible” lava nearly as often.

I dont know if its because my old hardware, but the yellow and reds are way more live. I was a little unconfortable at the begining, after more than 7k hours playing with more neutral colours and shine surfaces, the new colors and high constrat and darker textures pucnhed my senses, but im starting to adapt

did you see the bubbles in the lava? cool

Overall it’s been a great update. QOL, beautiful graphics, siptah part of the world, no more thralls falling through the floor or logging in and not being able to move (rubberbanding) so far.

Also on my server the hourly restarts are over - maybe because of night time. Still I’m overall quite happy.

Just make sure that the living settlement doesn’t make thralls wander through the world. I’ve seen that on one of mine - he walked out of the base no idea to where probably miles away to some bed or something. Just set a limit how far they look for stuff and if it’s too far stay at the station/guard place.

Good work!

I really hate the lava color, especially from far away. It reminds me of red neon lights on sci-fi armor. Needs more orangeish/yellow glow.

I’m not sure if I have a setting wrong for my local server, but it seems like all of the details that the enhanced version should add are gone. Everything is much crisper looking, but the detailed textures are not there. The walls and ceilings in my base and the armor I’m wearing are vibrant, but there is no detail to the stone, wood, or armor. They are simple colors with no details. It is not my PC, everything is set to high for graphics. No stutter or other rendering problems. CE feels like I’m playing Dauntless for the textures in the game and not what any images for CE show.

i7-6700K, Asus Maximus Hero VIII Mobo, 16GB Corsair Vengence RAM, Geforce RTX 2070 Nothing OC. I have no trouble with other games like Dune Awakening, Oblivion Remastered (even though Oblivion warns about a 4 core processor)

Any ideas why? Thanks for any help.
