tn_prvteye Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have noticed certain units cause a CTD with (what looks like) a shader error with glass_effects or something like that. I can get a screenshot when I get home from work. So far I noticed the Mirage 2000 and the SA-13 cause this. HOWEVER, I am running so many mods that this could be on my end. Other than that, this mod has made VR smooth as silk for me....and I've got an old rig. This Mod is sheer genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachomaga Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Only one word: amazing. Work like a charm for me and there is a lot of FPS improvement, Rift here. I have the border-glass effect, but I'll edit MASKSIZE. I tried in Hornet and Viggen at the moment. Thx for sharing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunterbunt Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) No improvement in performance, but better visuals on my computer. Tested with hand Made mission with f-18 on the gulf map. Better visuals are dir to the MSAA. But, you have to turn it one. Before it was impossible to run MSAA. Now I use x4. I can clearly see that in the corner of my eye the city and the water is shimmering below, but in the middle of my vision, no shimmering. In other words. This mod is a must have for any DCS user using VR. Finally I can enjoy the gulf map is it was supposed to be.

Flighter Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 At last some hope... Kegetys, I cannot thank you enough for a variety of reasons. Probably the most important one is bringing back some hope to this slow new renderer. Your pipeline is just fantastic ! It just takes a man with brains and knowledge. And you clearly have both. Do you mind sharing how much time it took you to do the mod ?

BrainFart0 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Wow! look at that, amazing! there is hope for VR! Unfortunately it did not work for me with the Mirage in the Gulf map. I get an error with the option to retry or cancel the glass shader... no bueno. But still great work! Is it possible to have some of the optimizations without the glass shader thing?

You could try that for yourself, surely? I would say delete the Bazar\shaders\model\functions\glass.hlsl file - or leave the original in there instead.

Quadg Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 windows may report the program as having stopped working on first load because it takes a long time to rebuild the shaders. so it takes an age to get into the hangar with the mig 29 and menu. and it takes an age to load the first mission. but after that all is good. so start it and go make a coffee :) if you are having issues with it loading.
