yeah GBuffer inthe CW and IC pass version is disabled so you can have clear water without it being super transparent, and in IC Pass because it fails IC.  In the core version of Kegetys mod it is enabled

But Kegety's original is incompatible now?

In the patched version by lefuneste01, it looks like the codes for Kegety's GBuffer tweaks are disabled even tho the file is there and _HMD.hlsl.

ahhh OK , i havent looked at it closely, i only know it works .

I suspect some of the GBuffer changes are there because of the way it reacts to using the original water.fx file by going super transparent .

Has anyone tested lefuneste01's version on the F16 and night missions? I just got surprised by black sky, white ground, bright grey/green cockpit except the MFDs and DED which were thankfully as normal.

Wondering if it's my install being corrupt (I've cleared out fxo and metashaders and repeated the problem), or a general problem with the mod. Reverting the mod, all goes back to normal. (Thankfully)

I have tested it on my CW version and it was OK ... sometimes with new shaders you get a glitch and have to recompile them

Interesting. I put all my shaders back (manually), flushed fxo/metashaders. all good.

Applied Simplex. Did the F16 Night Fighter Intercept instant action mission. Same problem.

Did a DCS repair instead of manually putting shaders back. All good again.

Applied @lefuneste01's version. Waited a long time, as expected. Same problem.

Repeated the same on my HDD (old DCS install), by updating it, then doing the same as above. Same problem.

So not install specific as far as I can tell. (Just to clarify, my SSD install was a fresh one, not a copy/clone of the old one).

Other weirdness - the main menu, with the mig29 in the background; that's now got cataracts; milky/faded.

I just fixed the compilation errors due to some shaders being encrypted and so needing coherent parameters when called, because I need to update my mod too.

As the shader mod is now mixing modified and no modified shaders, it may introduce glitches, but I'm not competent to fix them.

wait a minute are just applying @lefuneste01 files or are you applying those files to Kegtys original mod and then applying the updated mod in total to dcs ?  It should be the latter

1. Unzip Kegetys original, stick the files in bazar as instructed.

2. Unzip @lefuneste01's mod, stick those in bazar

3. Start DCS?

If so, yes, I've done that. Sample output attached (apologies, phone snap of the 2d screen).

I can only tell you i don't get that... problem... 

 

try uninstalling the mods (you should always use a mod manager).

running dcs repair

delete fxo and metashaders2 from your saved games directory 

the apply the content of this file,

DCS VR Shaders mod for 2.7.7.14727.zip

which is a precombined file, i have also taken out the metashaders directory as they are now encrypted  i hope that helps

Thanks for all your efforts. Done all that (many many times) before and just done it again now. Same problem.

Back to stock shaders!

It doesn’t care about steam/standalone it cares about version numbers

I had the same issue. The file Decoder.hlsl must be removed from the patch I provided.

  • Do a full DCS repair
  • Install Kegetys Mod
  • Remove the file decoder.hlsl from my patch
  • Install the patch
  • Install my 3dmigoto mod because it's a damn good mod but nobody seems want to try its wonderfull features (I need to provide an updated version for this update of Kegetys mod) 😀

It should be good.

I am about to apply this shaders set, what should I do with the "-- metashaders" directory?
