What just happened?

EEP stars are parallaxing like they are in the foreground related to the moon and clouds. On the plus side the moon is now obscuring stars, despite the fact that it looks further away. The stars look like they are rendered on a somewhat near dome almost.

What were you doing when it happened?

I was in the Lower Planes looking up at the moon with someone else who was using EEP and he said "the stars look funny like they are in front of the clouds and moon"

What were you expecting to happen instead?

Stars to rotate the same way the really distant objects like the sun/moon.

Addendum:  The star dome is stuck to the ground.  It does not go up with you.

 

If you fly up to 780 meters you will fly out of the top of the star-dome.

 

This means you get no stars for any night-time scenes that are above 800 meters.

Addendum addendum:  Get on a platform about 2000 meters up.  Set windlight to midnight.  Find a place that looks groovy from above.  Jump down.

 

This won't help you fix the bug, but it looks groovy when the lights come into sight and spread out beneath you like you're god or something.
