Major Graphic Issue

[FREEZAH]

In a mission I made involving the P51 and the autumn-heavy rain template,

I experienced heavy flickering of the sky.

It is unplayable and if you are sensitive to flickering images I recommend

not to reproduce the following:

 

Open ME, select P51 and place it somewhere at 10k feet altitude.

Also select Autumn,Heavy Rain in the Weather Options.

DATE and Time: 1 October 2011, 17:00

 

Edit: It looks like it has something to do with water options being set to low.

If you select High everything is fine.

 

My option settings: Everything on High, except: Water=low, Shadows=medium

Monitors 1

Res. Cockpit Display 1024

MSAA 4

lens none

HDR on

AF 16

Terrain Shadows Flat

Vsync on

 

Clutter 0

Trees 5060

Preload 150000

 

Nvidia driver: 387.92

Tried this and encountered no flickering. Maybe upload your mission so we know conditions are the same.

 

My first test was in Normandy (my bad) but I tried again and even changed all settings and still got no flickering. I then remembered this thread...

activated mirrors and, Yes, insane flickering.

Thanks for testing and the link.

I wasn't expecting the mirrors to be a part of this issue.

It seems they influence the frequency of the flickering,

but turning them off doesn't solve this problem entirely.

I still then get flickering every 3 to 10 sec.

Tested this with the autumn,heavy rain template in the P51

and the A-10C

I changed the option settings one by one to see what else

might contribute to this behaviour.

And the only cause was the water being set to low or medium.

With high water setting, it disappeared completely.
