vonBiomes Special Edition is DLC6 Ready! New Early Access Biome, more polishing and quality updates all included
🕑 Added 2024-03-15 20:09:58 +0000 UTCDear Friends & Patreons!
Yesterday, the DLC6 for Mechwarrior 5 was released — and here is already your Special Update for vonBiomes! This new version saw weeks of polishing, getting the new volumetric clouds and lighting effects under control was quite an undertaking. So far, all tests look promising, and since the new DLC is a perfect opportunity to drop a new release, here is vonBiomes 17 final in its Patreon Special Edition variant!
For your help and support, you also have a new Early Access Biome included in the update: the Coral Low Tides, in which you can battle around colorful corals with wide open spaces perfect for your sniper skills;)

Be also sure to check out the new vonBiomes Mod Options — - there are now many configuration opportunities to increase the visual quality, set your preferred night-mission brightness adjustment, activate Global Illumination (GI) and more. If you do not yet have the Mod Option Mod installed, it is available here on the Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/537
Tip: Recommended settings for Volumetric Clouds Samples: if you have a powerful GPU, try 2 in samples. It reduces the noise of the shadow occlusion.
If you have any questions or need support with your mod setup, please be invited to hop over to the vonMods Discord here: https://discord.gg/bHstpyB3Me and I am happy to help! :) And if you let me know that you come from Patreon, I can also enable your special access user role. See you there!
