Beta 2 first impressions

[AndyB]

my feedback? WTF did they do to the HUD! if i spent more than a few hours looking at it i'd go blind, as it is i had a headache after an hour and my eyes were so strained they felt like they were popping out of my head.

What are talking about Andy? You mean the radar, or? There's a lot of HUD going on...

There is really a pretty strong bloom around new UI, I agree it should be more decent.
In any case, changes and updates in beta 2 looks promising, but as I am having lot of soft-locks and everything washed out (some bug with nvidia 5xx series), I need to wait for upcoming patch. By the way, do you have some screen how it looks in stations now? Just for my reference (I tried to lower gamma, but i darkens some other stuff as well).

the whole interface, its too bright and too blurred to use for any length of time.

the neon blue is especially painful.

it seems the futures so bright you HAVE to wear shades.

Excellent my friend.

I don't have the problem you are describing. I've got gtx780.

My main gripe is the galaxy map. It's not working at all...

I don't have any screen shots, but I do agree with the general observation that colours seem faded and washed on the whole game.

Let's see what the patch brings.

Did you do anything differently when you logged in (started as admin etc)?

Have you adjusted the new gamma setting under Graphics? I've read on the main forums that some people have needed to do this.

I take it back...blimey, the whole HUD is glowing like crap and I can barely see through my windscreen!

Turning the bloom and blur off and dropping the gamma helped a little but it still ain't easy to look at. Especially not with the fixed view of the galaxy map in the background (complete with my selected system).

[AndyB]

yup, turned everything down that i could, its an improvement but not much of one.

I'm running a 3x24 inch screen set up on a 7950 3GB card, all my graphics settings are on high and i'm getting 30 FPS in stations. my eyes feel like this today:
