Why are the clouds degrading between sim updates

Featured Replies

After the last update I thought the clouds looked incredible best I’ve seen them since launch. Over the past few weeks am seeing a clear degradation, pixelated and blocky, like I’m flying through code, it’s an eyesore and an immersion killer, especially knowing how good they can be… But why the change? Are Asobo doing this? I know others have mentioned similar issues.

Also tried changing the user.cfg sharpen an film grain to 0 with no improvement.

 

Clouds are utterly fantastic here.  What am I doing wrong?  I have no tweeks.  🤯

Mine looks great as ever, on Ultra. Probably need to provide some video or screenshots of what you are referring to.

Never posted a screenshot on here… menu settings mostly on Ultra (3070/5600x)… I’ve been thinking about the recent changes I’ve made.. since the last update and I’ve upgraded to Windows 11 and noticed some stuttering so change the refresh rate from on to fast on the nvidia panel.

What happens if you change the cloud setting?

Lower the setting the less detail in the cloud you can see.. So for instance low setting has a lot less pixelation because it’s not rendering as much detail, high and ultra are very similar with only minor improvements on ultra but between high an ultra there is less pixelation on ultra… I may aswel just wait to see what happens tomorrow now with the new update.

Believe the update is on the 18th based on the Developmental Updates posted.

The frustrating thing is after the last update, it was perfect. I don’t think there was any mention of cloud improvement in that one but could be wrong. Why it’s gradually got worse is what I’m struggling to understand.

I will have to tinker with mine as well.

Good luck, let me know if you see any improvements.

By chance, do you have a lot of things set in the community folder? Also, a new CFG file might clear things up. I looked mine before and it will prevent the sim from making changes.
