Graphically what added value brings this new version of ORMG ?

You can propose your modifications to skyshader.fx here, and if they are considered valid, they could be included in OR.

good evening thank you for your answer carlo, bb22210, for me the interesting graphic improvements are the correction of the z fighting (good for the mountains on the maurienne :) )and the improvement of the dusk dawn effects. Have a good evening.

Good evening, I am not at the origin of this fix so I cannot propose it.

Info about content of the various PR to the Unstable release can be found here
https://github.com/o...openrails/pulls

The Monogame related code intentionally coincides only partly with the code of the OR official testing version.

Instructions and additional files to use the AWS TCS are available here http://www.elvastowe...post__p__255510 .

Users having not more than 4 GB RAM are suggested to run selecting general options checkbox for optional run at 32 bit on Win64.

When running on Win64, the player can select if he prefers running at 64 bit or 32 bit. In this second case RunActivity32.exe is run, and only a maximum of 4 GB of RAM can be accessed by OR. If the computer has only 4 GB RAM, selecting the option to run at 32 bit on Win64 is recommended.
Note for developers: Runactivity32.exe is not generated by building the pack, but manually doing a copy of Runactivity.exe, renaming it Runactivity32.exe, and using on the Developer Command Prompt command corflags with the modifier -32BITPREF+

NOTE: See here http://www.elvastowe...mg-and-reshade/ for an installation guide of ReShade.

When running on Win64, if you are running OR at 64 bit (option not checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails64.exe; if you are running OR at 32 bit (option checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails.exe.

It is suggested to unpack the .zip using 7zip, if other unpackers lead to problems.

Revision 139 can still be downloaded from here http://www.interazio...loads/index.php (click on OR_NewYear_MG_oldrecent.zip) .
