I think I'm having a problem with the normal maps feature, in that they don't seem to apply at all.
They used to work, but as I usually take around 1 year breaks from the game (and update to latest game/mods version as I pick up again), so I'm not exactly sure when it broke. All I know it worked around a year ago, but currently doesn't.
I do have several other mods loaded, but I also tried with only lazylib, magiclib and graphicslib loaded but it didn't help. I've increased my vparams mem settings to around 6 gigabytes, my pc has 16 gigs installed. I also tried with 8 gigs vparams settings, no help. I have 8 gigs of VRAM in my gfx card (Radeon 5700), so should be enough (last year I had a vega 56 which had 6 gigs and that worked). Latest drivers and windows updates installed.
Checking the starsector.log I can see that the game finds and loads the textures, but all lighting effects look flat. Definitely not how I remember them being when normal maps worked.
Anyone have any idea what's causing this?
