fixed Screen flickering since 2.5.4

[canned_fire]

Just in case it helps: to me the flickering seems to be linked to when the sun is reflected on the instruments panel (F-5E). It happens much more during sunrise or sunset.

Just after takeoff from Minvodi and turn to sun. Around 13h02m.

*sigh* still no fix reported in the latest change log https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3780411&postcount=43

 

 

I hope it's resolved in the near future because as it stands I just can't update to 2.5.4 :(

[Survival]

Last OB update nothing changed!! The same issue still happens.

 

[rogorogo504]

Experience from the Mig21 module on the Caucasus map (various scenarios):

 

Bug appears as soon as any PostFX or AA settings are used (in the native settings of the latest DCSWorld Client).

Bug especially prevalent in twilight reflection scenarios (sunrise, sunset) - the flickering turns into solid black square artifacts of differing sizes (no transparency, black) that flicker with a high intensity, seemingly related to the left and right side (from the pilot cam) of the canopy (and its reflections)

max zoom forward into the gunsight stops the flickering, same goes for looking down.

We havent heared a lot from ED about this recently,

i am a bit worried that this has lost their attention after a different

issue was fixed for VR users

[Kamov52]

It makes me sad. Why do we have to wait a long time for the problem to be solved? It is very frustrating!:helpsmilie:

No it wasn't :-)

No it wasn't :-)

 

I was referring to one specific one, not all ;)

All with the effects of lightning, please complete your hw signature could help creators.

Glad its not just me. I just purchased A helicopter and I am regretting spending the money on it since its basically unplayable!

For me the Gazelle is very extreme! But other modules too.

It is interesting that the flickering remains to all who have Radeon graphics, it could be a clue to finding the problem.

[TLTeo]

Plenty of Nvidia users have reported the same....

[petsild]

Before the patch so it was.

Is there anyone here who has a bug with the Nvidia card?

Which module is the effect of the flicker manifests itself?

[WilliamLink]

I've also experienced this annoying flickering in the 2.5.4 Release version. It happens with pretty much every aircraft I can fly (I only own the Flaming Cliffs 3 and A-10C modules). In some aircrafts, like the A-10C, it seems to happen more often than in other aircrafts like the F-15C.

 

I also noticed what other people have reported as well: It is related to the reflecion of the sun on the canopy or the instruments. It can be noticed in external view - although for me that's more unusual - and mainly in the cockpit view.

 

I've tried many different graphics settings but it's pretty much a consistent issue, so it doesn't seem to be linked to any sort of configuration.

 

By the way, my hardware is a full AMD one. Ryzen 7 1700, with Radeon RX 480, 16 GB of ram 2666 MHz. So I guess it makes this issue not linked to Nvidia hardware/driver.

 

[edit] I got so annoyed by the issue - and other weird stuff that happened last week - that I had to Revert my version to the previous built 2.5.3, via the DCS_Updater.exe. And I'm not going back to 2.5.4 until ED fixes this bug.

Black flickering with one of the parked uncontrolled Yak-52.

You could make the same test for the Hornet or Mustang thanks.

Hornet

 

Watch at 13:04:00 and for several flickerings at 13:04:30 (driver 417.71)

edit: with driver 418.81 only one time flickering around 13h04m for replay1, 3 times flickering with replay2

edit: on high preset I just replayed the worst flickerings of this track

driver update

[rogorogo504]

latest updates made bug worse

 

before latest updates:

Experience from the Mig21 module on the Caucasus map (various scenarios):

 

Bug appears as soon as any PostFX or AA settings are used (in the native settings of the latest DCSWorld Client).

Bug especially prevalent in twilight reflection scenarios (sunrise, sunset) - the flickering turns into solid black square artifacts of differing sizes (no transparency, black) that flicker with a high intensity, seemingly related to the left and right side (from the pilot cam) of the canopy (and its reflections)

max zoom forward into the gunsight stops the flickering, same goes for looking down.

 

After the latest updates:

what once were screenwide transparent flickers and only square artifacts in specific lightings are now ALWAYS BLACK square artifacts blinking in ALL lighting conditions, even complete darkness.

the original artifact pulsate blinks around over the sunbox (sun lighting source) when looking directly at it.. with the mirroring artifacts (reflections) blinking at the same rate (but not in sync) starting as soon a reflection would be visible from the pilot cam on any surface and the shape size being the outline of that lightsource reflection.

 

Idk if this only applies to Radeon GPUs.. but with all the non-transparent, full black non-synced artifact blinking all over the display at all times and in all conditions it is now not possible to play, unless by artificially reducing settings until there are effectively no reflections (or any other light effects).

[SVgamer72]

I can confirm that the issue is present on the Radeon RX Vega 64.

 

Whatever it is, it is not GPU or driver specific.

[Svend_Dellepude]

It doesn't seem to happen when there are no clouds present, until you get up above 40k. Then it happens a lot.

Might be related to clouds?

[ams999]

Not related to clouds in my experience. Rather reflections of the sun.

 

Will there be any fix in the near future? It is pretty annoying...

[discwalker]

:-(

 

I replayed my tracks of flickerings and flickerings remained in 2.5.4.27314.

 

Please fix it as soon as possible
