Emmy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Change to dawn or dusk and see what you think... Nevada tends to go "flat" looking at mid-day as well.

Shadow KT Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Check if you have HDR On. HDR should be off and Deferred Shading On 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-J Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Still downloading my update, but looking at these trees, it seems to be the result of deferred shading being off. You'll have to choose between visuals and performance I'm afraid. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Boris Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Deferred shading off looks really terrible unfortunately. The trees are too light in colour for example.

It's hardly an option to tun it off, even if it greatly improves performance. Have to agree. DCS 1.5.8 didn't look nearly as bad as 2.5 with Deferred Shading OFF. :( So looks like Deferred Shading is a must in 2.5... And with it ON, it really does look stunning. EDIT: Also, new explosion effects are missing when Deferred Shading is off.

Buzzles Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Don't forget to delete your cached shaders directory as well in Saved Games/DCS/... Sometimes with an update, you have to do that to make everything hunky dory. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminator363 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hey ED, why not make deferred shading mandatory? The game is more or less broken with it off. Also what is cockpit global illumination? Happy Bug Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceSells Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I guess the thing is yesterday I had to do a reinstall (Fresh Start) of my Windows 10. It didn't erase my DCS folders (I had 1.5.8 Release and 2.2 Open Alpha) and today I used DCS repairer to get these 2 running again without having to redownload. Then I used the command prompt updater to update the Release version to 1.5.8 Open Beta, which seemed the fastest way into 2.5, in my particular situation. The result was an image very similar to the image in the first post, even though I checked my settings and did have deferred shading enabled. I guess, due to all the unconventional repairs/updates that I did, something went wrong and deferred shading was off even though it was marked as on. I'm doing a complete reinstall of DCS from scratch and I guess it will solve it. I hope it also helps with the performance. Your video card is below specs... 2gigs of VRAM isnt gonna cut it. It was said that performance should be on par with NTTR 2.2, which my system can handle - not stunningly, but still nothing compared with what I just experienced. FPS wasn't that low, but there was a high input lag. I guess the fresh reinstall might address that. Plus my system isn't below specs, according to the official requirements.

ED Team NineLine Posted January 31, 2018 ED Team Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) The Black Sea map is much bigger than the other maps, it has way more trees, more objects, etc. Even if you can get a 770 with only 2GB of VRAM to work, it will be with the lowest settings and all the fancy stuff turned off. You need a new video card I am afraid, the rest of your system doesnt look half bad. If you had a 770 with 4GB of VRAM you might have stoof a better chance, but even then it barely out performs a 960, and most people I have seen with a 960 dont fair well with any of the 2.X stuff. Realize as well that this map is an upgrade map, the other maps were built from the ground up with the new engine in mind, you might have issues like this when turning all the settings down, ie the map not looking as pretty. 2.5 requirements will have to be tweaked (I dont think 2.5 finalized specs are posted yet), I spoke with Wags about this tonight. Some may have luck with 4GB VRAM, if the card its on is beefy enough, but 6GB of VRAM will probably be the new minimum.

Drag80 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Mine looks like this: Awsome. Hence if one member is getting good results it means there is nothing wrong with the map or 2.5 release. Check your settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
