Summary0012332: Flicker at tile borders at maximum zoom out
DescriptionIf zooming the viewport as far out as possible there are funky things going on at the edges between tiles.

It does not come across nearly as bad as ingame on the screenshots, but you should be able to see what I mean. I encourage you to give it a shot yourself, though. Just toggle from frame to frame and look at the edges a couple of "columns" to the left of the Exo.

When zooming in the issue goes away.

Yeah, I've minimized that as much as possible using various approaches, and trust me it's way better than it was earlier in the pre-alpha, when it was terrible. But basically it's a rounding error on your GPU when it anti-aliases tiles that are at certain ratios. I could probably fix it by making it so the zoom levels clamped to specific round numbers, thus avoiding the rounding issues. But I'm not sure that people would want to give up the smooth zoom; I think the slight flicker is preferable.
