Majesco Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I've some friends running LOMAC on XP/ Vista with GF 8800GT/Ultra and they got a shadow bug on plane when Full Shadow enabled. I've searched forum and found some others said it's the issue of Nv Forceware from version 9x.xx. But some people still run LOFC on 8600GT/ 8800GTX normally (such as Torwak...), so what's exactly the cause of shadow bug on GF 8xxx series and how to fix it out ? Thanks in advance! Here's a ss shows shadow bug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorwaK Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 LO have compatibility issues with Ge-Force 8 series cards and its drivers. The reason why there is no solution unless ED will update the software codes of LO.

Majesco Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Torwak, do you get shadow bug with your current eVGA 8800GTX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorwaK Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 sure, so I set it to "All planers" instead of full.

FVMAD Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 LO has selfshadowing based on DX8, which is no longer fully supported by GF8xxx - that's why we have shadowing bug. in DSC:BS ED moved to DX9 so should be no prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eihort Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Oddly enough, I have this bug at distance (lower LOD) from planes. I have a 2 SLI 7600GTs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Putting the game in a correct aspect ratio fixed it for me. Crank them video card settings up to quality too. I had them issues with me 7300 on my laptop and on my 9600gt's. If your viewing on a wide screen, 1680x1024 or something like that...use an aspect ratio of 1.6 in your graphics.cfg folder.

The_GOZR Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 BS ED moved to DX9 so should be no prob. Well IMO many guys will stick to Lockon for quite some time since they want to fly jets .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 use all planar shadows... I have ATI HD3870X2 and have same shadow bug. No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaelu Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 here is a nice issue.... I have mostly moved over to Vista since some of my programs run more efficient there... Sorry for OT but, I can't help my self... Seeing your configuration and knowing how much Vista costs and how 'well' games work on it, I am intrigued in what sense you take the word... "efficient"? :lol: Please don't tell me you have one program that needs more than 3-3.5 GB of RAM and you moved all your stuff to Vista for it. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I run on vista...been on vista for over a year now. Its efficient enough, and yes I need more than 6gbs of ram to dominate the world. Don't hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGozr Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I run Vista Ultimate on SLI with an E8500 OC, 4 GB and i like it. I tuned Vista perfectly and very light for me. It need some TLC but i like it. Wont need XP anymore. and who need XP when you can run Server 2003 ( other machine ) ? anyway ;) Want to run lockon fast ? junk XP and run "WServer 2003" i can tell you that that i will not reload XP. Fly it like you stole it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I gave Vista 64-bit Ultimate a chance... and it failed for me big time... big disapointment for me... more RAM is useless when programs you want to run are buggy and things that need to work, don't.
