Default Flat sun

No matter what I do, if I use mods or not, I always have this sun shining in the sky.. flat as a coin...








It's with GWX3.0 and I get this sun from start of every patrol to the en of it. I tried using env mods that include sun halo tga, but the result is the same...



Somewhere I read about a GWX flat sun fix, but can't find a thread about about it. Is that the cure for the problem?



Could someone please give me a hand with this?


Thanks a lot in advance.

EDIT: FUBAR, one question... I see the fix has the ENV files, and by enabling the mod via JSGME, won't it break any env mod I might use?

Flat sun fix for Nvidia:
antialiasing gamma = off
Antialiasing no more than X4 multisampling!

The environmental mod may be the problem causing the flat sun if not made for GWX. Do you have a flat sun after installing it? If not then, another mod installed previously may have caused the flat sun. You need to figure that out.

You can do as Fifi has suggested in a tweak if you have that card.

Tried without any mods at all, just GWX as base, and the flat sun is still there, so I guess the problem is what Fifi said.


Thanks a lot anyway!! You have been very helpful!

I also have the flat sun issue and it doesn't seem to make any difference what graphics settings I use or environment mods with my RTX 2070.

I'm more worried about the odd black artefacts keep flashing just above the horizon randomly.

Just replace the stock one in Data/Misc!
You can make a little mod, just to be sure.

My advice didn’t work?

On my computer if i set antialiasing more than X4 multisampling and gamma correction on on, i have the flat sun...but respecting what i said above, sun is perfect
Plus if you set antialiasing compatibility to Diablo III in inspector, it’s like my AA was X8!
(You can check my screen shots in screen shot thread, they are just perfect)
