Triple-Monitor is broken again, and with 1Camera I get Shader Error!

[Snacko]

So, with todays update, the Triple-Monitor is totally broken and unplayable. I tried to fix it using different luas, but that didn't work. It looks like the left and right monitor are swapped, but in the MonitorSetup lua I swapped the left/right sides and for some reason that didn't fix it. And it looks more like the views are way off because I see most of my cockpit on 2 monitors!

 

So, I tried to go back and use the 1 Monitor(1camera.lua) in the stock game folder and I get this error. I cannot even load the game now. But if I edit my Options.lua and tell it to use a different monitorsetup lua file (triple screen) I do NOT get that error. So, Single-Camera is fubar, and Multi-Monitor is fubar. It's all fubar! :joystick::mad:

Exact same problem here, although I don't get the error with the 1 monitor setting. Just a headache lol.

Post your options , please

I put in a Support Ticket 5 days ago and have received no response. Thanks for replying..

So, with todays update, the Triple-Monitor is totally broken and unplayable. I tried to fix it using different luas, but that didn't work. It looks like the left and right monitor are swapped, but in the MonitorSetup lua I swapped the left/right sides and for some reason that didn't fix it. And it looks more like the views are way off because I see most of my cockpit on 2 monitors! So, I posted this in the Bugs forum and tried to just run DCS with 1Camera.lua monitorsetup file. And it crashed on loading with this Shader Error. So, the Beta is unplayable with the 3 monitor or 1 monitor lua. If I set my 3 monitor lua back in the options.lua file, it loads and runs ok, except for the 3 monitor bug swapped screens. But I get no Shader error.

 

I just deleted my fxo and metashaders2 files and rebuilt them. And tried to start the game again with the 1Camera lua, but get the Shader error and crash. I delete that shader .fx file and did a Repair, and it was reinstalled. But still gives the error and crashes.

 

Here is the error that I get:

Ok, since the 3 Screen views for Triple-Monitor are now broken, and I had to try to go back and use the 1 Screen, which crashed,.. today I Reverted back to the previous version of the OB. 3 Screen works fine again. But I tried the 1 Screen and also get that Error Msg and game crash on load. So, it's not just with this new version.

 

Does this have something to do with the fact that I have too much RAM? I have 64gig. I've had 64gig for about 2 years and used the 1 Screen monitor for a long time with 64gig before I started using the 3 Screen.

 

So, I tested my Stock game version 2.5.3.24984 and I changed from the 3 Screen to the 1 Screen and restarted DCS. The Stock game loaded fine. So it appears not to have this bug/problem.

 

Is there any info you can tell me about this problem?
