Small sun

Hello, I have this problem - too small sun. The size of the sun is constantly the same.

Looks normal size to me. Do you mean you want atmospheric refraction low on the horizon modelled in the game?

Don't look at the sun, it will hurt your eyes.
Does look normal to me also.

It´s normal? In your game is the sun the same? OK gentlemen, thanks.

Hi Josef!

Did you use an nVidia Card?

If so, set in the driver options menu these settings (worked for me):

Anisotrope Filterung: 16x
Antialiasing-Einstellung: 4x
Antialiasing - Gamma-Korrektur: Aus
Antialaising-Tranzparenz: Multisampling

Best regards,
Magic

I asked my wife it it looked small to her. She glanced briefly towards the computer, went back to her embroidery, and murmured, "No dear, it looks very big to me."
I'm not sure she was even paying attention, come to think of it. It seemed like a conditioned response...... <sigh>

This is an old problem, and there is a sticky on it. The disc is the normal size. You're lacking the "bloom", which is much larger. This is characteristic of Nvidia cards and one possible fix is here:
