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.

Dear Lefuneste and SpeedOfHeat, thank you very much for your efforts and sharing.

I tried both of your ways but I still have the "night issue".  I must be doing something wrong...

More specifically, I tried:  resume the backupped bazar/shaders dir -> cancel content of SavedGames/metashaders2 and /fxo -> DCS OB full (slow) repair -> overwrite bazar/shaders with Kegetys Mod 2.7.0 ClearWater -> overwrite with Lefuneste patch 2.7.7 without the "Decoder.hlsl" file,  and/or same as above but with SoH's version 2.7.7.  Am I missing something?

Apart of that, daylight works good, I'm back to 10~11ms ...

Thanks

What you have is what I saw when had the wrong décoder file.

Did you try with the settings described in my howto here :

I love your mod, man! Reflections control, haze control, NVG size control... All these things should have been built into the game! 

Please keep up the great work @lefuneste01!

AMazing! I can confirm that applying Kegetys, then @lefuneste01's patch WITHOUT replacing decoder.hlsl works and gains significant fps.

Thanks!

Applied this with reshade and fsr 1.2 and I get wrong night view. I read in this thread that @lefuneste01 patch works, but do I need both kegetys and his? Will this also break IC?

YES you need both. 

YES it will break IC

On this page… you can see there is a combined zip file…

In short, we only need to activate this combined file. We would NOT have to install kegetys or replace with Lefuneste01 mod, right? Only enable this zip right?

Did you try my mod instead of reshade ? It has less filter but in game menu to setup color and sharpen, plus different sharpen settings for cockpit, outside, hud and MFD.

I am now using the updated 2.7.7 from here, I guess this include your patch correct?

 

[speed-of-heat]

it does include @lefuneste01's patch

[tomeye]

thought so, how do I access " in game menu to setup color and sharpen"?

[speed-of-heat]

sorry i should have been more explicit...  it contains @lefuneste01's correction (the 4 files)  to this MOD it does NOT include his sharpening MOD

[tomeye]

I get it, @lefuneste01referring to this one https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/3305420/

 

I am going to try now, have you tested for fps impact?

Hello Lefuneste, thanks for your reply.

I tried with or without "Cockpit global illumination" and with or without MSAA... same "night issue".

I have not

[5ephir0th]

I suffer the same night issue, i only installed last zip from @speed-of-heat from a clean install, tried with and without global illumination enabled, same results.

Do a DCS repair.

Apply Kegetys mod - the most recent version from page 1 of this thread.

Then get @lefuneste01patch. Extract it to your desktop or somewhere temporary. Then go in to the bazar/shaders/deferred folder and remove decoder.hlsl . Then copy the remaining (3 I think) files into the DCS equivalent folder, e.g. bazar\shaders\deferred and overwrite accordingly.

You mean this patch?

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305420/

I don't see any decoder.hlsl in the folder you refer (on update Kegetys VR Shaders mod for 3Dmigoto v1.1 folder)

 

[cerealex]

I tested the last Kegetys + lefuneste shaders (new combined zip without "Decoder.hlsl") + Mustang 256 Shaders v0.96 and the image it's a little foggy, no compatible I think....I will tested without Mustang 256 Shaders....

[speed-of-heat]

Mustangs shaders has a bunch of files you need to take out as well.

[lefuneste01]

Hello, I updated my mod thread here, the package 11.3.zip includes the patch for Kegetys mod. It tested the whole install (Kegetys+patch+3dmigoto mod) on a repaired DCS, it worked for night without issue.

You should have a try on my mod if you are using reshade, it may do the same job plus it have a bunch of cool features.

Just to be clear - the correct procedure is to install Kegetys "original" for 2.7.0xxx, then install 3Dmigoto ?

This order doesnt matter, because 3Dmigoto and Kegetys doen't share files. You can also use 3dmigoto without Kegetys or Kegetys without 3dmigoto. The version of speed-of heat should also work, but I did not test it (too many versions..).

What you should take care is to applythe OB patch for the Kegetys mod (as described in my mod thread) and at last the update Kegetys VR Shaders mod for 3Dmigoto v1.1 if you are using 3Dmigoto with Kegetys shader mod, whatever you use original Kegetys or Speed-of-heat version.

DO NOT install Kegetys original mod as that contains files that do not work
