Thanks for the reply. I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal. This will let me stick w/ the current driver and enjoy the performance benefits in any new games I decide to play while not flying among the stars.

Also, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for ALL the incredible work you've done with your various Starsector mods. I couldn't imagine playing without them. Thank you!

Hi. This is a nice mod but could you add something in the in the in game settings that would activate/deactivate/change the graphics properties.
It just fell weird to change graphics configuration on a text file.

[0.7.2a] GraphicsLib 1.0.3
« Reply #34 on: January 08, 2017, 01:40:46 AM »

Major bugfix.  Nvidia optimizations killed some perfectly reasonable shader logic with a short-circuit style problem.


Download GraphicsLib 1.0.3
Also known as ShaderLib.
Download Mirror
(Requires LazyLib 2.1)

Edit GRAPHICS_OPTIONS.ini to enable or disable GraphicsLib features!



We also recommend Version Checker to notify you when an update is ready.

Warning: Make sure Starsector is GPU-Accelerated!
Mobile or integrated chipsets are known to have serious graphical artifacts!

1.0.3

Sounds like either SS is using your integrated card or you don't have a good enough card for SS GLib

if the issue comes from your card just not being good enough, as Kitsune suggests, you can try disabling some of the more resource-demanding features individually in \Starsector\mods\GraphicsLib\GRAPHICS_OPTIONS.ini and see if you can get it to work that way. or you can even disable all of GraphicsLib's features entirely by setting "enableShaders": in that file to false, which allows you to keep the mod enabled in the launcher (for other mods that may require it enabled) without it affecting your game in any way.

Anyway we could get dynamic shadows based on light sources (beam weapons, explosions)? I've seen a few games like StarSector do that and they look amazing.

Starsector sprites are 2d and have no height information.  The normal maps are slapdash as they are, being largely auto-generated, but a height map that would hold up to inspection is simply not possible.

Hi! I started using this mod, then recently it (I'm pretty sure it's this one, did some experimenting) started doing this:

The game is using the not-integrated GPU, and the driver is up to date. I don't know what that's called, so couldn't really search for it, so sorry, if this has been solved already.
Anyway, thanks for the help in advance :)
(Ops, sorry, huge image)

You can disable GraphicsLib in the SETTINGS.INI file. Set "enableShaders" to false and that will stop those graphics bugs.
It seems to me like the game is still using the integrated card but I have no idea on how to force SS to use it... Sorry
