Thanks for your help pal!!

 

I just cant find out whats causing this...so far, the only thing I have clear, is that it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I start DCS and go directly to a flight with a different season from summer...

 

so I have to FIRST, load a summer mission (what ever) and then I can change season no problems as many times as I want, although trees remain always green, but not sure if this is a different issue affecting everyone because they are not implemented yet or if its related to this also (because I get brown trees ONLY when textures are messed).

Take a look at my MODS here

This is what i see in Autumm, first mission edited without opening anything.

I'm mad with this issue and looking for more things to check, I have noticed a little thing that "could" be a potential problem...

 

Some time ago, I had 3 installs of DCS 2 (2.0.3, 2.0.4 and 2.0.5)...2 of them in the same unit and the 2.0.5 in a different one...I updated to 2.1 from the 2.0.5 install and had some time the other 2 installs (which I moved a few times to different unists).

 

The thing I have noticed now, is that in the "start/programs/ED" menu, the shortcuts to "repair", "update" and "launch" for the DCS 2 version are blank, which is normal, as they are pointing to an installation that no longer exist (I erased the other 2 installs some time ago). I noticed it now, because I dont use them (I update always directly through the cmd "updater.exe" thing).

 

The thing is...is it possible that this texture problem could be related to that?¿?¿?...windows doesn't seem to have any idea of DCS being installed in my system (no DCS listed in installed programs) , version 1.5 neither so I wonder if OS is confused and thus DCS of "where" is DCS installed in some way??.

 

So, what could be the easier/fastest way to refresh all the installation shorcuts and quick menu exe's to the new and correct folder location for 2.1.1??...without reinstalling everything if possible...

 

thanks all guys, sorry for the inconvenience with this problem :sad_2:

I know i could be a pain in the ass but if you have a good speed connection i recomend this:

 

Save your Users/saved Games/Dcs Open Alpha folder.

 

Uninstall ALL DCS 2 versions you already have installed. ALL.

 

Manually delete any DCS 2 folders already in your Hard Drive.

 

Reinstall a new clean DCS 2 and try again if the texture problem is there.

Many thanks man!, I already erased all other installations of 2.0.X versions some time ago...I have some questions anyway:

 

-I guess 1.5 ver wont be affected when uninstalling 2.1.1 right?

-Should I unistall ALL my modules and terrains before uninstalling 2.1.1?

-Do I need to deactivate modules/terrains previous to uninstallation?

-Can I save my 2.1.1 main folder in other disk so I dont have to download everything again and just swap the files I backed up (at least textures and such)...I have a 6mb connection, so I would need like a week to download everything again!! (80GB) :fear:

1.5 is not affected by the 2.1.

 

You dont need to uninstall any module or terrain. The 2.1 uninstall delete everything

 

You dont need to deactivate anything.

 

I dont recommend to swap anything until you test a fress install. You can backup your main 2.1.1 folder in other HDD. Then uninstal 2.1.1, try to be sure anything is left and download and install a CLEAN 2.1.1 without anything else.

 

When finished, just download Normandy an try with the stock Su-25T.

thanks mate!!...understood about uninstalling. I guess I will have to download 80Gb right?

Btw, as a last chance...any way to solve those texture problems without uninstalling??? I repaired a couple of times and didnt worked...how is that possible if those textures are "missing" according to the log??

 

thanks a ton!!

I let my PC all night to download everything (fresh install of course) except Nevada to have Normandy as fast as possible and see if it works...I have just tested with a fresh run, october, su-25t :

Here I go again...:(...several things to note.

 

I spended yesterday the whole day making some tests.

 

After redownloading everything except Nevada (which surprisingly is about 15Gb), I decided to make a bunch of tries changing gpu settings, drivers, executing as admin, disabling antiviruses, different behaviours when setting the missions, deleting users openalpha folder, etc.

 

I decided to try a "flood" method deleting, almost everytime I did something different, the openalpha folder because I suspeted the problem might be there as repairing the installation doesnt work.

 

I found something I think could be interesting...2 out of like 20 times, IT WORKED FINE!!! :huh:....yes, I managed to start DCS, then directly change time to october and it worked fine...autumn trees and correct textures at the same time!...TWICE :doh:

 

Both times, once I exited DCS, next time it failed again for no reason I could understand. I spended a few minutes when it worked fine, and didnt noticed nor had any kind of problem, it just worked perfectly. Even loaded several missions, different seasons, planes, etc...PERFECT!...once I leave the game (without changing anything in setting and such), next run...FAIL!

 

As I said, only 2 out of like 20 times deleting the openalpha folder and doing other things (different everytime) it worked.

 

I remembered what Justificus said here about having a "crash" and then the problem started...I also had a "weird" crash sometimes the next time after the game worked fine OR the first time starting DCS with a fresh openalpha folder , which I find suspicious (I have attached the logs and crash of one of that times) but I have no idea how to open the crash files to review them.

 

Another important thing is that, when updating to 2.1, the updater looks in your system for the 1.5 version and if you have it installed, it uses that 1.5 installation to copy a lot of files from it and so saving some download time...well, the first time I updated to 2.1, I forgot that I had a texture mod installed in 1.5 with JGSME that time, so "maybe" the updater took non original files for 2.1 :doh:

 

I thought this could explain why some textures were missing/corrupted, so I was really excited thinking, yeah!, I get it, I finally get it!!!...........................................................NO!!:(... after all, seems like this is not the problem, because this time, I disabled the texture mod for 1.5 (and even repaired it) before starting the new 2.1 install, and it still failing with the textures...

 

this could explain why repairing does nothing with this issue, BUT, it doesnt explains why it worked 2 times and not the rest of times.

 

So there must be something else...

 

As a curiosity, in one the wag's videos previous to the release, this one:

 

 

I would say that he is flying in spring, but the trees are also looking green, just like it looks to me with the issue.

 

Finally, I found also another person with the problem in this video:

 

 

At 0:26 and ahead, its very evident that he is suffering also this...

 

Once again, Im sorry for the inconvenience with this problem, hope someone could help to solve it.

 

Thanks a lot!!

Regardless the landscape texture settings, I'm getting these everywhere. Not at all related to cities and towns:

 

 

 

Greg,try a repair of your DCS World,that looks as if it's missing texture files,at least you'll know your install is ok if nothing else.

Well after having it "fixed" for awhile I just had the game crash on me again... and guess what, the problem is back! So I'm going to see if just deleting the Saved Games folder will fix it... this is very odd!

 

EDIT: Yup! That did it!!! Textures are back to normal. And to think of all the time I wasted reinstalling, redownloading everything... if I had only tried this first...

Thanks mate, but it didn't help :(

 

Seems like only deleting the saved games folder can do anything, and in my case not even doing that...did you took a look to the link I posted before? there you can find some info.

Able To Reproduce

 

I've come up with a simple way to reproduce this every time.

Start Game and start with Instant Action FC3 A-10A CAS mission in Nevada.

Quit out of it and open the mission below (or any in Normandy I'll bet) in Mission Editor and you'll see the map covered with same pattern.

 

If anyone has some time try this to see if it happens too.

 

Just tested with other Normandy missions. Happens always. Tried deleting metashaders folder and still can reproduce.

thanks for the example cthulhu68,

 

however I am still unable to reproduce. I will ask an ED team member to take a look at this on Monday to double check what I am seeing.

In my case, I can reproduce it EVERY SINGLE TIME when I start DCS and directly change FOR THE FIRST TIME the season to anything different from summer...then its mandatory to exit DCS and run it again in order to be able to "get rid of it".

 

And how do I get rid of it (except the trees, which are messed no matter what)???...simply run DCS and load any mission o whatever IN SUMMER!!, then leave the mission and I can change to other season and it will work "fine" (not fine in reality as the trees are not working with the correct color as I said before but at least the textures are ok).

).

I can reproduce this way too. Started my mission that was set in June and switched to October and it was there.

Been trying to come up with what Watermanpc, Justificus, and I might have in common. You would think something isolated would indicate a certain piece of hardware or bad install maybe ( we both have 6700K } but Justificus throws a wrench in this theory by having different processor and he tried a reinstall.

 

I've had a hunch that switching Deferred shading off then back on might lead to this so that would be only other thing I could think to try and then see if this appears.
