MAJOR graphical issues since the last update

[Raz_Specter]

Hi All

 

Since the last update I was running perfectly fine. Since the last update I am experiencing the following:

 

F16 - looking forward in the cockpit is stutter city, to the point of being unplayable, works a treat if you don't look at the ground too much

 

Multiplayer Menu - when the multiplayer menu is refreshing its like stutter city, jerking all over the place. once the refresh has populated, smooth as butter, hitting the refresh again back to stutter city

 

General Flying and graphics issues: looking left and right in the cockpit either while flying or on the ground, buildings, tree and pretty much everything else just vanishes, moving your head back to the center causes them to return, moving head back to either left or right in certain circumstances causes the assets to be removed however you still see the shadow. I have removed the fxo and metashaders2 folder which makes no difference

 

Worst update I have experienced in a long time which has broken DCS for me atm.

Moving the camera up and down in combined arms causes scenery to vanish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moving head from front to back causes the trees to valish in blocks of squares

Hi

 

Multiplayer browser is reported,

 

I am not seeing the stutter you report.

 

Please remove all unofficial modifications and run a cleanup and repair.

If you still see the same in game please attach your dcs.log and we will take a look

 

thanks

I'm seeing exactly the same thing. MP menu is not that bad for me but overall performance of the Viper has taken a massive hit. I have no mods installed at all. Where would I get the log file to send in? Ive had to dial my settings down to where MSAA @ 2x doesn't do anything. It was the Oct. 31st update when my performance crashed.

Looking at the specs in your sig I'm not sure you could notice. Your running a Dell Visor, DDR3, a 1080Ti and 4.4Ghz. What are your settings in DCS? I say this because you've probably gotten used to your settings which are MUCH lower than what others with newer maxed out systems are using. If DCS is basing performance on your hardware it would have been nice to know that up front.

 

The difference in performance with the Viper is a fact. My other modules are not effected. They look and perform as they have for a while now. The Viper was better on release, much better actually as I was able to up my normal settings for the Hornet with virtually no frame hit. After 10/31 performance is below all other modules and almost un-flyable. I'm not being a dick but I am frustrated at the lack of give a shit shown to reported problems. At the end of the day, your customers haven't only invested $60-$70 on buying a module but in most cases thousands of dollars building systems to run your software.

 

 

 

What EXACTLY do you need from me to examine what's going on? Where should I send it?

 

 

 

Thanks,

I don't experience anything different in the Viper pit then before the last update. Played quite a bit yesterday evening. Performance was the same as before the update.

Can't tell the difference between before the 31/10 update because i didn't play in a VR setup then. Viper pit overall performance is lower then other pit's but that's also the case in 2D.

PS: i turned all shadow settings to off because they gave way to much shimmering in VR (but that was also done before the update).

 

Multiplayer browsing: No comment on that since it's been a while since i went there.

Remember you're running beta, not stable... If it where on the stable platform, i couldn't agree more.

At a given point back in time i ditched the beta because of various issues after an update and the waiting for it being corrected again. Decided to stick with the stable and that worked out a lot better, it was a lot "more stable". But then came the Viper so the beta is back on the table.

I only fly open beta so I get what you're saying and mostly agree. I guess I'll shelve it like I did the Hornet on release. My complaint is in comparing two vastly different rigs and determining there is no issue because the slower rig is running fine. Every game these days have minimum specs and recommended specs. The OP and myself are well above recommended specs and yet we are still having performance issues. My fault for buying it.

What frustrates me the most is that there is not a single mention of the massive issue of scenery vanishing which in in itself is the major issue here. Hell I can take a bit of performance hit but not to the point of feeling actually sick in the Reverb because my view is jumping all over the place for no reason at all.

 

Very frustrating indeed

 

UPDATE:

I have removed all mods and did a clean and repair - the stuttering has reduced although the major issue is the scenery vanishing

 

 

Thanks Specter

Hi Spectre

 

Good to hear the stutter has reduced, but I am unable to reproduce the scenery vanishing.

 

Do you happen to have the track replay from the mp session, if so please link it here for me to check.

 

thank you

Hi Spectre,

 

on how the issue appears, reminds me on some issues with Virtual Reality, like the disappearing clouds and contrails in VR, when they are in the center FOV and reappear when they are in the outer FOV.

Some comparable graphical unnormalies experienced when the "single parse stereo" option in the graphics.lua was activated, but differently from the coulds and contrails issue, with "single parse stereo" the graphics disappeared only on the left outer FOV.

 

Could you reproduce the problem on Monitor or with another VR headset? Maybe could help to enclose the issue.

I am seeing the stuttering in the MP screen while in the F-14 and have noticed some degradation in VR performance overall in the Cat.

 

 

I'' run the update and repair tomorrow, but I am not running many mods at all. The walkman music, VR background is all I have ever ran. But this issue just started with the last update or 2 updates.
