Revert the new skybox or at least add actual clouds
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

This new skybox is a complete step backwards to what is on stable. No more dynamic clouds, nighttime looks completely muddy, no more godrays from the sun. What happened? The new clouds are just a 2D texture and don't even move with the wind?

I don't see an issue with the new skybox i like it actually, but is there an option to change it to the old style through the server files?

Livonia Clouds are moving. Chernarus ones are static. Is there a way to make them more high res though ? 8K ? 16K ? AI upscale ?
Also some thunder clouds are "cut off" when imposed over the ones beneath them .. like an obvious curved line .. looks bit off...

i agree. the clouds look weird being just a jpeg and not actually moving, i know they said this is early version of it so i hope that changes

I just tested. Both in Livonia and Chernarus, the clouds ARE moving.. bit slower in chernarus though..

Also, what do you mean by "no godrays" ? I can see godrays ingame..

Also had this issue today. Logged into a server and as the overcast reduces the sky became more pitch black. No idea why this happens.


In general, the new skybox looks good, but the texture of the sky in very bad weather looks just awful.

Here are a couple of references to inspire developers to create a normal sky for cloudy weather. :)

@akula692009 I have to be honest here. All of the examples you've shown, look worse than the Vanilla 1.23 version. They feel over dramatic and cartoon like ..
