[Updated] Characters being drawn as a box

I noticed in the log it says;

 

00008.118 INFO DXGUI: Cannot load font [E:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\dxgui\skins\fonts\]!

I don't do mods apart from an edit to the lables.lua to make them less descriptive and an lua mod that disables the Ka-50 rudder from being trimmed!

 

Sorry for the off topic but no need for the rudder mod, option is now available in game.

Thanks!

 

 

Could this be that DCS is creating some sort of shared database with Font files? How about reinstalling windows fonts?

 

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, seeing as the FUI\fonts folder only contains tga images, the actual fonts are in dxgui\skins\fonts.

 

 

 

I did notice if i comment out the /FUI/Fonts/ line, this error shows in the log "00008.117 INFO DXGUI: Cannot load font [C:\Windows\Fonts\]!"

 

And this then changes how the box gets displayed in the Su-27 (but not A-10C), see attached. The solid boxes are from a normal install, the artefact boxes are from with this line commented out.

I've tried all the suggestions in this thread and those recommended by my squad buddies but none have worked.

 

Reinstalled all windows fonts, checked and repaired DX11, reinstalled and patched DCS and DCS open beta (1.2 works flawlessly, the font problem is only present in 1.5). Tweaked and tested all thinkable combinations in my nvidia graphics drivers (newest version btw)...

 

It feels like the only option left is a reformat of the computer, which I'm reluctant to do as it's no guarantee to success, just a bunch of work.

The artedact boxes look like the "missing texture" image. Did you try delet the "Fui/Fonts" then repair Dcs, and install those fonts in "dxgui/skin/fonts"?

 

I did delete the fui/fonts folder, repaired and installed the actual fonts.

 

Even tried copying over the files from 1.2.16 into fui/fonts and dxgui/skin/fonts to run on 1.5 but this made no difference so I think that it's not file corruption within 1.5, I deleted these files and ran a repair to return 1.5 to default after doing this.

 

Like X-man said this issue isn't present in 1.2.16 it's only since 1.5 I've started to experience it.

 

Got another few things I'll try tonight to see if they make any difference.

I also have the issue and have tried everything. No way to get rid of those boxes...

Please Devs some help on this

 

Any word from the Devs on what might be causing this crazy issue?

I noticed in the Huey the radar altitude display is being drawn normally. What's the difference in the way it's displayed compared to everything else?

Can I ask if any of you are using custom fonts or font sizes in windows? or enlarge options for text in windows, or running any UI modifications for windows? or different languages

 

there has to be some commonality between each of the users, I am just not seeing it at the moment

Only thing I use is DisplayFusion on a triple monitor setup, but disabling the software or the other 2 monitors makes no difference.

 

Here's a video I rendered of a track I borrowed from another thread here.

Unfortunately not, I wish it was something that simple... :( The fact that 1.2.6 works with the same fonts (and obviously the same windows) seems strange.

I'm also getting some other glitches along with this. A similar one is the A-10 gun smoke effects being bounded in white transparent boxes and I feel some textures on some planes might be broken somehow. I wonder if anyone else has similar texture issues? If that's the case I wonder if it would mean a more fundamental issue with the game rather than a text/font rendering issue. Of course it could just be that I have multiple separate issues.

Interestingly the Mi-8 has lost it's mirror texture.

 

Edit: No it hasn't. Changed cockpit language from Chinese -> Default, the mirror was there. Then changed back from Default -> Chinese and the mirror was there.

Similar to these?

 

Also is anyone else having an issue with the front windows of the Huey being opaque? Like this

Can I ask if it is ATI users just having this issue or NVDIA as well?

 

I am wondering if this is a Graphics setting issue? anti-aliasing in particular if I remember correctly ( it has been a while since I had ATI ) you can set the filter to box, is that setting still available?
