Blacked areas while firing guns.

[streakeagle]

While firing guns, the cockpit view is intermittently blocked (outside the canopy frame) by solid black shapes. It looks like some kind of smoke but with black instead of the transparent tga.

 

My gpu is an AMD HD 7970 with the current WQHL 14.4 drivers.

Core I5 3570K with 16 GB of PC1600 DDR3.

OS Win 7 64-bit.

Same bug here, with the same ATI HD7970.

[txmtb]

FWIW, HD 7870 and do not see this issue. Catalyst 14.6 RC driver version.

[sc275]

I see the issue and I have an AMD 7850. I experienced it on the "intercept" mission where you intercept a slow Russian prop bomber

[Boomer]

I have the same problem. Sapphire 290x tri-x here with 14.4 catalyst drivers. :helpsmilie:

[tob.s]

same pronlem here - made a vidoe of it in this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=127436 - seems were all using AMD/ATI may be worth trying the latest beta drivers

[txmtb]

This is a weird one, I've flown consistently since yesterday and have yet to see this once, and have fired the guns a lot, return empty every sortie.

Curious to know if someone else on the 14.6RC versions are seeing it.

[Kuky]

I don't have this issue on my end, the smoke looks fine.

 

I have 7970 also, same Cat 14.4 drivers and I'm on Win 7 64bit.

 

What are your in-game settings? I'll try replicate your in-game settings (if not already) and mission you have it in (attach it please, maybe it's some weather settings)

[gavagai]

I have this with the P-51.

 

R9 280 with catalyst 14.4

 

My settings:

 

and attached is a test mission where I've been seeing it:

multiplayer.miz

[Kuky]

gavagai, I just tried your settings (only I was running 3 monitors - but still only 1 camera setting) and your mission... I still can't see this glitch on my end.

[WinterH]

I had it once, and that was in intercept quick mission. Never had the issue in other missions or the ones I made in mission editor.

 

ATI 7670M

[Scrim]

I too had it on the intercept mission. It only happened when I was pointed at/around the clouds. Will try again in ME to see if it happens there too.

[jeffmaysefaith79]

I have had it happen in the intercept mission as well but only when firing in a right bank turn.

[gavagai]

Kuky, did you take off and shoot at the 190s? When I tried firing from the ground nothing happened. I only see the black smoke during combat.

 

Here are my catalyst settings:

[Wissam24]

AMD 7760 here, I have this too, but only at certain altitudes it seems, doesn't happen on the ground.

 

It's external too

I removed fog from my map and changed the season from Fall to Spring. I did not see the black at all last night during online play.

[MegOhm_SD]

I have a 7970 in one of my rigs with 14.4, Do not see this...only difference in my ccc setting is I use supersampling instead of multi or adaptive.

 

Have not seen this in my primary rig (sig).

[ericoh]

I have the black smoke aswell, so far ONLY in the quick Intercep mission.

 

HD 6870.

[theGozr]

Same problem here and that one

 

I do have the same problem with an R9 and some weird smoke missing texture squares

 

[Batou]

Same problem of black area when firing (only on the left side)

 

ATI GTX260

[Furia]

Reported. It is being investigated. Thanks

[MA_Goblin]

I got rid of my black screen by turning off triple buffer ini GPU settings for my AMD 7970

[Suchacz]

I encountered this problem already more than a year ago. See this thread 1.2.3 Hog gun smoke, but without any solution :cry:

 

Imho it has something to do with the fog, HDR, high AF and AMD(Ati) GPU, maybe some black voodoo is involved too :smilewink:

[theGozr]

Triple buffering off and the black effect goes away on my end.. but still have the texture problem of the smoke

[Kuky]

I have that OpenGL Triple buffering ON and I don't see this glitch... weird.
