VelvetDiamond Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Had no idea where to find the hotfix. Took me like an hour to find it, but yep, its all fixed now thanks.

MasaMan Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 I can't get it to work anymore. DCS gets stuck in "game load done" -spot when loading a MP server but it works in singleplayer. Any tips?
speed-of-heat Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 It’s likely not “stuck” but it might take several goes to compile all the shaders, best option download the server mission offline, load it offline, and let the shaders compile, then go into the mission online SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
chlywly Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Okay guys, I've installed VR Sharpen AA so far, and can tell the difference in game, albeit very subtle when I press "END". How about these other ones, should I be using any of the other ones with 2.7.6?
speed-of-heat Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 you can use one of the 1st 2 to improve performance SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
Col. Kernel Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Seems like something changed in the shaders in the latest Open Beta. After the update to 2.7.7.14727 Open Beta I'm getting this error message when using the (otherwise excellent) VR Shaders mod: I get the same error message with the original Kegetys mod and speed-of-heat's clear water variant as well as the hotfix for 2.7.6.
speed-of-heat Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 I will have a look later on when I get a chance 2 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat

This wasn't mentioned in the patch notes. Now the water has a lot more cloud reflections, etc.. This is probably the reason behind the errors. 1
speed-of-heat Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 @Kegetysmight have to fix this , I will try to hack it out , but my usual brutal approach applies 6 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat

speed-of-heat Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) so i can't seem to find a fix for the full shader set, nor the clear water but the IC pass shaders seems to work as does the simplex shaders Edited October 20, 2021 by speed-of-heat updated with links 5 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat

speed-of-heat Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 well that will make things considerably more complex ...

laertesson Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 That will break things until we make enough of a stink. Even a large stink may not convince them to decrypt any of this, and our frametime gains are gone. 1
speed-of-heat Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 not all of them , and to be honest... just the ones associated with metashaders SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
Nealius Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) So.....were these files used for "cheating" online too? I'm really lost for words as to why ED locks files that improve the user experience after tweaking because the base game lacks the functionality (or in extreme cases is completely bugged). In this case, that functionality being VR performance. Edited October 21, 2021 by Nealius
Ready Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Yes this is really bad. Crazy drop in frames and lost for words. Why would ED do this?

speed-of-heat Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I can think of a couple of reasons: - to see what happens, this is beta… - integrity/stability, it will likely lead to more stability of their code base, modding is always done at risk, and Ed has a very clear position that mods should go in saved games..not core games. 1 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
laertesson Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Yes, it’s just adhering to ED’s new policy of encrypting their game. I guess we should be glad we at least got some years being able to mod to our hearts content. Edited October 21, 2021 by laertesson
MVS-Viper Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Yeah, I'm noticing a decrease in frame rates as well. Especially on on-line servers. Down to 8 FPS, from an average of 30 FPS in the past.
Spetz Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I'm getting errors now too with the hotfix on the new build. Install was de-modded, cleaned, slow repaired and now I'm getting this. Loads just fine without VR Shaders installed via OvGME. Really too bad as this mod was what brought me back into flying after a couple year absence..
MVS-Viper Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I just noticed that starting the game with SkateZilla's GUI app: I get much better frame rates in VR. Just flew an online mission with frame rates back up to 30 FPS. 1
Nealius Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) 13 hours ago, MVS-Viper said: I just noticed that starting the game with SkateZilla's GUI app: That's interesting. The only difference between running from the desktop icon and Skatezilla's tool is that the latter bypasses the updater.exe, right? I wonder if starting DCS.exe straight from the /bin folder will give the same results? UPDATE: That might have actually worked. 40+ FPS down low in Caucausus. I was in a low-demand aircraft though. I'll have to test something more demanding like the Channel map to be sure. Edited October 22, 2021 by Nealius 1
Ready Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I am experiencing the same thing. The Clearwater + hotfix is triggering that DX11 error. So I switched to the IC-pass version. But now it seems to be actually slower than running DCS without this shader mod. Tried the Simplex version, which is also not good. Am going to make a couple of FpsVR screenshots to put them next to eachother.
