Skybox problem?

[Ceres]

Is it only me who sees this "skybox"? See top edge (official Windows build). When I used a map with water, there was a real sky reflection, though.

Well from the height of the map depends on how much of the bottom of the sky you'll see. So yes, it's definitely suboptimal, and the in the worst case terrible.

Ok, but how does the water reflect a sky that is not visible? In Atlas, it looks different, i.e. I can see different skies there.

I think that sky reflection in water does not depend on rendering skybox based on your settings.

Do you have enabled to render skybox?

If he did not, he wouldn't see the sky (The option was also removed by vladislav (only available in config now))

If you remove camera restrictions by pressing alt + d and tick restrict camera, then tilt the camera you'll probably see the sky.

Yep, I see it now. I had wrongly thought that there was no sky but just some grey stuff. It should have been obvious to me from your first reply that it's just the lower (horizon) part of the sky. Is it maybe possible to rework the horizon sky part a bit in this regard? I cannot do it, as I lack the art skills, so my question is very humble.

Not really. What one can do is elevate the whole map to match the skybox

I doubt it will help. The skybox is attached to the camera.

From my point of view, it's not so important, but do you see a way to make this appear "nicer"?

The simplest approach is to render the skybox only for cinematics (sky reflection in water will present in both cases).

that would make it harder to take nice screenshots without camera restriction.

It's solvable, just enable the skybox for screenshots

Would it help to increased the default max. of tilting the map, so one can see that the sky is really there by tilting more up? My initial post here was because I (mistakenly) thought that there was no sky at all. Again, if this is only something I stumbled over, then please don't waste your precious time over it.
