December 2025 Updates

Silent Horizons 2 - Update 1.12

Large rework of sky(scattering) and fog across all presets (NAT, Obsidian and Universal)
- All NAT and Obsidian weathers have received a ton of changes to support an “infinite horizon” (i.e. no or barely noticeable horizons seam)
  NOTE: This is not a perfect solution and depends on a lot of factors like the installed atmosphere and cloud meshes but it should provide a substantial improvement in most cases
- Fog has been overhauled across the board, eliminating any remaining “fog lines”
- Improved NAT gradient colors
- All of Obsidians clear weathers have undergone a sizeable rework
- Improved Obsidians ambient lighting across the board
Replaced and unified water colors for every NAT and Obsidian weather to help with water mod compatibility
Improved handling of LOD water
Improved AO/IL balancing
Depth of Field focusing time is now part of the Focus group and can be adjusted per-camera
A bunch of sunsprite additions and changes:
- Added sun threshold and weather separation to sun parameters
- Added ratio and vignette inversion to ghost flares
- Ghost flares have individual offset movement controls now, making it possible to animate movement manually instead of relying on generated patterns
- The starburst is now animated and has improved pseudo-AA

Fine-tuned sky and reflective IBL brightness for all weathers to improve compatibility and balance with the new settings

Added and overhauled LUX “interior weathers” (Apocrypha, Glacial Crevice, etc.) via KreatE
Fixed the sun being too bright and large for interiors with full sky rendering (e.g. Midnight Sun mod)

Added time scale slider to the time control menu
Added drag and drop support to color matrix rows and columns, allowing for quick and easy editing of entire times of day or color types
Active records are now displayed at the top of the list and at their usual spot instead of moving to the top only
Cloud layers can now have names instead of just being numbered. Rename them from their context menu (right click)

Fixed older presets sometimes not upgrading automatically
Made termination logging optional to not clog up the log file with unrelated errors. Can be re-enabled under advanced settings
