Have the Sunset/rise colours changed?

[Aishagain]

This may not be a topic that many care about but I have always liked the way the reflections in the SL sea shade from white through gold to red at sunset and the reverse at Sunrise.  When EEP was introduced some two years ago the Moon became all but invisible until well risen and well before setting and the fiery colours in the see at moonset seems most incongruous.

I only noticed a few days ago that those colours of reflections had changed again and now both sun and moon rise and set with silvery/white reflections on the SLsea.  I have had several others say the same and one said the changes tied in with the change in the rendering code that returned viewer FPS to something like Windlight days. 

(It also introduced several other bugs which have been much talked about elsewhere.)

So is this something peculiar to me or Firestorm, I'd like to know other folks' experience, suggestions (sensible ones only please!) and advice.  Thankyou.

Sounds like known EEP bugs.

 

BUG-229033 - [EEP] Sun light vanishes instantly the second it disappears below the horizon line

BUG-230817 - EEP Sun Pops Out of Existance At Horizon

Sun assumes that since it can no longer see you that you can no longer see it, so it stops trying.

Yes, Whirly, I have little doubt that it is an EEP bug, but it's a new-ish one and neither of the ones you quote seem applicable to this phenomenon...hmm can I use the word "phenomenon" when it is patently NOT a natural but a virtual occurrence?

This issue has been discussed with LL and they are aware that some unwanted changes have recently introduced to water reflections which manifest at SL sunrise and sunset.

The solution is being sought at LL.
