SWPixivyle Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) idk if i'm the only one who has this issue, but after a fresh update to 2.8.7.42583 and mod installation i can't play anymore. i get an error upon starting the game and i don't get past the splash screen. i think it happens with more files, not just the one in the attached image.

Taz1004 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 They changed the particle for water explosion. Still looks way too bright to me. I'll work on it later. For now, if you're getting the error, delete both waterExplosion files in /Bazar/shaders/ParticleSystem2/ Below are new default. 2 4 Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz1004 Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) UPDATED TO V21 for DCS 2.8 7/24/2023 Adjusted new water explosion Also, it looks like ED implemented ship trails from this mod. I tried to bring back some shape of the water splash. Default almost glows at some angles.

ww3231 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Had crashes with the newest OB patch when something impacted the water. Fixed now due to updating this mod from v20 to v21. Thanks Taz! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Juliet Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) I was crashing constantly with the latest OB update. I'm updating to v21. I only use this mod and improved dot spotting mod. I even redid my graphics drivers and everything. I really hope this fixes it. EDIT: -Multithreading is not happy with my system as the latest OB update. I've done a bunch of troubleshooting. I played non MT and had no issues. I turned on this mod and it crashes randomly and inconsistently when weapons impact targets. Can't pin it down. No other mods.

I am seeing extremely huge smoke plumes also. They look many times larger and darker than the original pics in this thread Was actually going to look in the files to see if it could be cut down a bit.
