[REPORTED]Water Flickering (NOT screen flickering)

This is a desaster! Static weather causes performance problems, is not mp friendly and has clouds dissapearing, while dynamic weather is a pain to set up and comes with flickering.

So daytime, clear sky aviation until it finally gets patched in 2021?!

 

bump again.

this is one of the biggest shortcomings of dcs...

Now I joined the water flickering suffering club.

I recorded a short video in Batumi region, with very similar flickering to the opening post's video.

water in high, FPS average 15 because of the crowded Aerobatic Online server with high ping players

The other component we're forgetting here is the issue only persists INSIDE the cockpit.. so it has something to do with cockpit glass AND dynamic weather reflections :doh: :doh:

 

I have recently experienced it in the A-10C as well, so it seems to be an in-cockpit issue with all modules regardless of whether they have the "shaders" (or whatever they're called) for raindrops and such.

Proof in 2.5.5.32533

 

Quite often happening on Aerobatics Online Caucasus Release and OpenBeta servers around Batumi and around Sochi-Gudauta-Sukhumi.

I once flied with company, my wingman experienced the water flickerings too in the Hornet cockpit, my plane was Su-25A. (Senaki to Sochi then back to Sukhumi.)

 

Yes, weather is dynamic.

 

This time I attached a single player clone track. With all triggers removed.

My eyes are ready for the upcoming fix.

Hi all,

 

thanks for the PM's, I have only been able to reproduce this using discwalkers above track, when I try to reproduce with a simple mission and dynamic weather I don't see the problem which is strange.

I have reported this to the team to have a look at, hopefully they will find the cause.

Don't know if anyone posted about this yet. But this seems to be a problem with a specific nVidia driver version. Updated my driver to 430.86 (there an even newer one now) and the problem went away.

Good to hear it is solved for you.

I have just doubled checked, I was able to reproduce this bug with 430.86, and I have checked again this morning with 431.36 and I am still able to see the flicker on the sea.

 

Did you change anything else?

Oh, sorry! Was so sure I had it! No nothing else changed. It just went away after updating the driver and also deleted metashaders2 and fxo folders.

 

EDIT: Since it seems to have worked for me I would still recommend people trying it.

I tested discwalkers track and I notice no flickering at first when approaching the sea. But when the flight turns south/left/batumi direction I see flickering again sadly. Very subtle, but it's there. Also only in cockpit view, not in external. So apparently I was wrong.

I am getting this issue on the Aerobatics Online server in the Hornet specifically. All water near the coast seems to have this issue, but it goes away as you head out to sea.

 

Any movement on a possible fix or workaround? If I was playing on my monitor it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but the flicker messes with my Index’s reprojection causing the cockpit to jump around making the experience very uncomfortable.

Asus Maximus Hero IX Z270

OOOOhhh, I wish I had the Alpha of a Hornet!

same here. extreme water flickering in vr with htc vive. water set to high and dynamic weather (moderate winds). big patches of sea flicker very intense. makes it hard to fly over water below 30k feet, degrades anti ship capability and carrier landings significantly.

using nvidia driver 391.35 on gtx1080ti

I have an interesting scenario:

 

 

I run DCS on two machines. Both I7's. One has a 1070 with 16gb ram and the other a 1080ti with 32gb ram. DCS on SSD's for both machines. Same 430.53 Nvidia driver on both.

 

 

Only the machine with the 1080ti card has the flickering. I set the Nvidia setting as well as in game settings exactly the same on both machines, yet only one has the flickering from inside the cockpit with dynamic weather.

I get this in VR also but only with water set to high. If I set water to medium it seems to stop.
