sail transparency in open world does not work

[Kaaru62]

when sailing in open world, i zoom in to the deck view. its mostly because i like that view, but partially because having my wake in view drops my FPS badly. right now i cant zoom in because the transparency does not work, and had to turn down most of my graphic settings so my FPS would not drop too badly when i see my wake.

 

please fix the open world sail transparency so i can turn my settings back up. no hurry on the boat wake / FPS drop, that is probably an optimization thing.

We can do it in future ASAP. Now it is low priority task.

Good to know it will be coming back, I used to enjoy deck sailing.

I also love deck sailing in OW.

This makes it impossible.

I would prefer no sails at all when zoomed in until the transparency is sorted out.

Positioning oneself on the deck would be wonderful. Both in OW and instances. Currently the view is nailed to a point part way up the mast. I too like transparent sails as it is complicated to move the view over and see under them or around them. But please don't remove them completely or we will be forced to use the UI to see how much sail is up. Or best add remove all sails as an optional toggle.

8 of 10 times sails are not transparent when entering OW.

 

Even with settings on "low".  FPS is OK = 20 and Ping 18  with "high" settings or even customed settings.

 

Transparent sails were OK for 4 months and only recently this problem occurs.

 

I have to switch from port to OW 10-15 times before sails are OK again.

 

Any solution for this problem?,

It will be checked, Captain

Can you guys add transparency amount slider to settings?
