Sniff sniff

I currently run the game at 7920x2160 and if I turn HDR on any setting (Normal, Warm, Cool) the game simply will not load, just freezes on the loading screen. HDR works fine at 5760x1080 or any other setting. Just not at 7920x2160. My specs are below, you can see I run 3 monitors at 5760x1080 and 3 monitors with helios, hence the large resolution. Hoping this is just a bug that can be fixed.

I have run HDR on 1 screen and even 5760x1080 in eyefinity with no problem. Just when its cranked up to 7290x2160, 3 screens for eyefinity and 3 for Helios. I made a seperate post about it a month ago in game performance in the DCS A-10c forum because it was happening in 1.1.1.1 but no one responded to it.

I have a question for the 2 masters of Multi-monitors, I currently run my resolution at 7920x2160, full specs are below, and I can't even get the game to load with HDR on any setting, the game will only load if its off. If its on any setting it just sits at the "loading" screen but never loads. Is this a known issue?

Just wanted to add that I am also having frame rate issues even with the 6148 update. From what I have read it looks like it has narrowed down to mostly multi-monitor setups still having the issue. I took a 50% FPS lost going from 40-50FPS to 15-20FPS with everything on HIGH and then some. I have been playing with the setting over the last 2 days and have narrowed it down to the tree and bushes for the most part. I can fly with almost everything on high except for those sliders turned all the way down and average between 25-30FPS. Though this is no where close to where it was before, I have at least stop the bleeding. My specs are below and as you can see im asking a lot of my system but at the same time I have put a lot into it. Hope this helps in some way. On a side note, DCS I have been a dedicated follower from day 1. My entire system has been build entirely for flying your simulators. You have brought combat simulation to a level I could never imagine. Please keep up the great work and know that even though there are set backs I whole heartily appreciate what you have created. Thank You P.S. Wags, Thank you for keeping us as update as you can. I am sure you are earning your paycheck this week :smilewink: <----My Rig

NOOOOOOO!!!! So never ever ever will you ever have covers again?

I can't say for sure yet, but it looks like ati drives 12.8 might have fixed my problem. Still testing but after a little over an hour of flight no crash yet. :unsure:

I've installed the new drivers but I haven't tested it yet.

@PeterP....I'll just go ahead and file for divorce while i'm at it. I wish I had the time to take on such a project. The other thing is, the crash is completely random, running a test track would be useless. I have tried enabling just 2 monitors and just 1 monitor to run Helios. I think I almost got an hour out of 1 monitor running Loz's profile before it crashed. So if there is a bug, it would be in there...i guess.

@Flim....my system is stable, I can run any game with no issues for as long as I want at full settings. I have run Prime95, Memtest86+, and OCCT all with flying colors with no issues. This issue is only related to Helios. I only get "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered, Event 4101" when Helios is running. It doesn't matter what I fly, DCS World A-10C, Black Shark 2, or BMS 4.32. They all perform flawlessly without Helios running. But all crash if Helios is running. @JG14_Smil....Yes I have Aero Desktop enabled and I changed SoftTH config file to ensure it stays running.

I think I'm going to give up for now and just run it like this. 6 monitors actually gets better performance then 3 with Helios running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTZKCzRPdzQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

If I were to try an older GPU, I would want to go with a 5970 sense it out performs the 6970. Sadly I can't find a 5970 eyefinity 6 for less than $1000, but I can find a 6970 DCII for $240. In retrospect though, I'd rather not try an older GPU, but rather find a solution to my problem with my current setup. If buying an older GPU fixes the issue, then really nothing has been fixed. I finally made contact with someone on gadroc's website that is using the same card and says he has had no issues with it and using Helios, but thats all I know. Havent heard back from him and Gadroc is still AWOL.

@sobek....sorry about that, just let my frustrations get the best of me.

Anyone else have some ideas?....PeterP has been quiet. :unsure:

New PSU didn't fix it. I think im going to cry myself to sleep tonight.
