[24.2.x][Lighting] Far Terrain Rendering issue (not only fortuna) [Fixed in 24.2.10]

[Etzu]

 

Hey there.

I noticed a rendering issue since the reployment of Fortuna part 2. But it's possible it's only related to DirectX10, as I had to disable the DirectX11 since the last plague star event when we got the new sky rendering algorythme that increased radically my CPU and GPU load.

I first thought it was fortuna only, some kind of preparation for future addition to the landscape of Orb Vallis, but just few minutes ago I noticed it also in the Index on Neptune.

 

Infos:

• Orange: accessible to the player 3D area (mesh)
• Yellow: non accessible to the player 3D area (mesh)
• Pink: Background Sky Sphere non 3D area (texture)

 

Venus: Orb Vallis 1

Venus: Orb Vallis 2

Neptune: The Index 1

Neptune: The Index 2

 

The issue is that the Far terrain, which I never noticed before anywhere, is not affected by the "distance bluring". But it's not just that, during the final phase of the Orb Fight, when there is a big white sphere for the explosion, the Far Terrain (in yellow) is in a higher priority Z-Order, so the explosion is behind that Far Terrain on the screen but also the orange area is behind the explosion. (will try to screenshot that, hard to explain)

One of my friend, who also had to turn off DirectX 11 like I did, with a different computer hardware also got this rendering issue, so you might be able to reproduce the issue without needing the same hardware.

Okay so here I got the Profit Taker screenshots:

It seems that the problem mentionned is also present on Relays.

Plains of Eidolon version. That's fun because with that bug I ralized that some stuff were present at some place where I totaly ignored there was anything and then my eyes never watched there. (like that sentient shape there)

Seems there is also a Z-Order problem on the Navigation star chart. Here my Baruuk is rendered after the planets, but rendered before of the Uranus ring / Earth selection rings.

## Update 24.2.7 ##

Issue still present for all the mentionned points.

## Update 24.2.8 ##

Found another one.

Inside my orbiter, a meteor is un ZOrder higher to the news text but lower than orbiter mesh. Also when I move away from the news it get high ZOrder but when I go near the news the meteor return outside of the ship as if the meteor was at a distance based on the character position instead of beeing fixed origin point.
