Hexen sky issue [1.14 unstable build 1176]
Running Hexen with this version of dday and no addons. It seems that all maps using a double sky (involving transparency) produces a hall of mirrors effect in the sky, this happens with bloom on or off although in a different way. I have tried different bloom settings including making all setting 0 and shutting off bloom (bloom doesn't seem to really shut off though.)
I am running on windows 8.1 pro 64 bit with an ATI 5770 video card.
Using the jxccp addon has it's own problems. It seems that doublesky maps also produce a hall of mirrors except the ones where the textures aren't right in the first place (Darkmere, skyfog and skyfog2 appear to not have transparency as they should)
on another note, the bloom looks fantanstic in some places that are improved by the effect (certain shine maps for instance ) but totally hides detail in other places (the red sky in 7 portals and the opening flame with korax become a shade of pink with little detail.) Adjusting settings to lower bloom so that sky and flame look right is too low to help the other things.

Yeah this a known issue which is unrelated to bloom. No doubt we'll fix that in time for the full 1.14 release.
1.13.1 did not have any hall of mirrors either with or without addons. Whereas 1.14 (1171 and up) displays mirrors with and without addons. I have not tried any 1.14 previous to 1171.
