Last Update:

No matter if using the absolute best or worst mod settings (yes I clicked 'apply') the FPS stays the same average of 30-40.
Don't know what the culprit is anymore, but it certainly is something to do with the mod or game's code.
Something in this mod is artificially limiting my game's performance without *actually* being graphically intensive.

Wish I could use this mod because it looks amazing, but alas.

Update to my last comment:

Reloaded settings, Ocean has fine FPS with no ships.
Loaded 1 ship, 202m long, basic hull shape, drops fps down to 30 only with FFT Ocean. Disabling FFT fixes problem completely.

Enabling/Disabling wakes drops FPS by another 10. Going to keep on changing settings to find the culprit I guess?

With my Specs (5700X3D, 3070, 48GB 3600MHz) just enabling the FFT ocean drops my FPS from 80 constant down to ~30, Even with no vehicles loaded in. Putting all settings to minimum doesn't change this.

Nvm had to delete another mod sorry

Says "Missing Key in 'plugin.json'," won't load mod. Followed standard install procedure

Hey Thunderpanzer, whenever the time is set to between 18 and 6 hour ingame, my ships become completely white. Do you know why this is? its bugging me that i can't really look at my ships during night time

you have to "enable" the mod via the mod menu, see the comment below here (3rd june)

Is there anyway to properly install this mod manually?

Cause I have tried a lot of times to install this over the past week & all have them have failed. I've tried unsubbing & resubbing, deleting the old folder & verifying the game files & still none have worked to get this mod to load/install.

so uh... would anyone happen to know why my water looks... muddy and dark? like even with max water clarity the water looks ink black for me.

the easiest way to disable it imo is by just dragging the mod's folder off of the "documents/from the depths/mods" folder; drag it back in to enable again. You can tweak wave sizes with the vanilla wave scale slider somewhere in the options.

ok it works. but how do i turn it off if i wanted too. and make these waves smaller

thanks. ill give feed back if it dos not work

To install you subscribe to the mod, wait for it to download on steam, and open FtD. Then, on the main menu, go to the "content" tab, scroll down to Mods, press "download" and select the mod. Scroll all the way down and click the "save mod in (new) folder ...". Then restart. Assuming everything's fine, it should work. Then the options are in the regular options menu.

how do i install this mod

I have the menu options for this mod, but the terrain disappears, at least when trying to play Tiny Tank Adventures. I do get an error "computer shaders not set" too.

@exosais try to remove the mod from the documents/ftd/mods folder and try to download it again from the main menu and then launch the game again,if it doesnt work try to also verify game files and try redowloading the mod in the documents folder.

If you are getting an error message, read it :)
If you aren't, go to the discord. Check the logs at documents/from the depths/logs, make sure the mod is actually loading.

Same issue here. Can't get it to be in my settings/function at all

The mod settings on the options menu dont show on me no matter how many times i remove it from documents and reinstall the mod on it,maybe he refers to that?

wait what's wrong? I didn't get any bug reports of anything being broken

thunder you gotta fix this and keep it updated, its the only 5 star workshop item in the past year. ask sean to see if you can help each other out

I didn't keep an archive of older versions, so I'm afraid not...
Once again, go to the discord for help with the mod not working, it's easier to talk about it there

Is there any way to use older versions? The last update made my FPS worse. Amazing mod!

can I get some help with why its not working?

I dont know why but it dose not give me the option to use the mod

By the way, the trees kind of stop generating after a while.

can you let us shoot down the seagulls?

hey can we get a version where it's just the new terrain?

coco

No, but the trees and such are disabled by default. Try going to the bug report discord and make a thread there, it'll be easier to see what's going on

I have done everything but the last one and still no dice sadly. Is the last one something that would break the mod?

a few things to try: Did you delete the mod folder at documents/from the depths/mods or some other mods folder? Did you try enabling the mod from the mod create menu? Are there any errors that appear in the logs (in documents/ftd/logs)? Did you enable the new features in the options menu?

Hi, I just updated the mod and for some reason it will not activate. I've tried deleting the mod folder, restarting the game, my computer, etc. Is there a known fix?

Absolutely loving this mod!

@It's Only Game could they not just use the new heightmaps with old textures?

technically they would work, but I purposely disabled them since the new terrain is quite RAM/VRAM intensive in it's current iteration. It will be dealt with.

@Caitlyn I think given it's written they're co dependent because of new terrain heightmap stuff that means there isn't really a way to.

Great mod but i would like an option to use original terrain textures with trees, rather than having to use different terrain textures

Feedback
(Not really- mostly personal ideas, the mod is great right now- And I bet some of those are in the next vegetation iteration so don't let me sidetrack you)

-Increase shadow creation distance.- Default FTD's is far too low- For vehicles, which generally have a surface on the ground, this is no problem. For a tree? That's a major graphical quality difference.

-More tree varieties- Possibly just from color shade changes. Since the human eye clearly notices from a decent distance it's often just two colors, for now.

-Have tree density vary more.- While you nicely avoided clipping and too equal spacing, I think things such as gradients would help.

-Wind effects- (I bet that one you already considered if it's possible or not)

-Tree hitbox- when vehicles are near(?) not necessarily to collide, but so they are felled. Could be a good middleground instead of actual collisions.

To install

Remember to properly go to Content->create tab to erase the mod, then go to documents/from the depths/mods to erase it there too. After that you can download it in content->-download and go to create tab again, reload all mods, and save it to disk. The new terrain has to be toggled on.

By reading the first line in this workshop page ;)

@maxharrysson How did you fix this issue?

fixed it nvm

problem, everything is pink ingame

@harnas1977 try on proton version, it didn't worked for me on native but works flawlessly on proton

Thank you so much for your hard work <3

Thanks! Linux compatibility has been an issue for a while and at the moment I can't promise anything. I heard the mod runs fine on Wine though.

Looks fantastic - great work. Can this be made working on Linux?

Wonderful Work as always Rina!

If you have issues please go to the discord and make a bug report, it's impossible for me to help you from here
