You are welcome. Just for the record, after a clean update to 2.7, I ran the repair and found several issues. It was just a suggestion.

yeah i run repair after every bigger update, for that reason, and delete the shader folders.

my apologies if my previous post sounded rude, that wasnt my intention.

using a AMD Vega 64

thats another valuable piece of the puzzle.

so far everyone affected was using a GPU with GCN 4 architecture, but Vega 64 is GCN 5.

Same black boxes for me I have an RX5700 driver version 21.3.1

 

Will update to 21.3.2 see if any changes

[Ravenus]

I too have some black boxes. AMD card.

RX580 getting similar artifacts. Though, it seems less frequent/more random for me than what I see on the videos.

I confirm also had this problem with my RX580 but I have not seen them since upgrading to a 1070.

Confirmed. Even with the newest Graphics card drivers. RX580 Nitro user here.

[HunterICX]

2 patches further, drivers updated, ran repair again, cleared my Fxo & Metashaders and I'm still getting them.

 

 

 

 

Just doing any of the free flights / Instant actions for any module and I can reproduce it.

 

Just in case I'm running a AMD Vega64 drivers: 21.3.1

Yup, Vega 64 here, I also still see them from time to time

[parasxos]

rx 5700 latest drivers have same artifacts on sky

[Flappie]

Clearly, only AMD users are getting this bug.

Can you guys attach your dcs.log file please? dorian666 already attached his, but I need to check yours as well. Thanks.

 

(C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log - may appear as "dcs" )

Thanks.

 

You both have old fxo shader files, as if DCS wouldn't delete those with latest update.

Try emptying your C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\fxo\ folder to get rid of these errors:

 ...

 

However, I don't think those are linked to the spinning artifacts you're seeing, because dorian666 don't have them in his log.

 

 

[HunterICX]

That is strange because as I stated in the post above, I did clear my FXO and METASHADER folder beforehand. I don't know how they end up in the logs.

 

Just for future attempts or having to clear, can't I just delete the 2 folders as a whole?

I am deleting FXO to keep me going from second mission crash problem almost regularly (when the crash happens)  I didn't delete them when I updated to newest beta yesterday but since their deletion can trigger crashes back, I won't touch it for now... Had black boxes with every 2.7 version so I don't believe that is the case

Not just AMD.
Nvidia user here, and I get them (very sporadically!). Sometimes I may see them every few minutes, other times maybe once an hour. When I first saw it I immediately thought “shit! Bird strike!” and tried to avoid.

Thanks for your feedback. I was seeing only AMD users since the beginning of this thread.

Yes, you can. It will only make DCS slower to start and to load missions, because it will need to compile shaders everytime you delete them.

Just a matter of time before your screenshots pop up in one of those UFO forums with a thread title like "PROOF, fighter pilot saw multiple diamond shaped UFOs over Siberia. They were mimicking his maneuvers".

[AnY]

I have the same error , but on all maps and modules. The error does not appear on the ground on the cockpit instruments and in external view. The error appears when looking at the sky from the cockpit, most often when looking perpendicularly upwards. I don't get the error when I edit the mission in the editor, see picture .

5700xt and vr, same thing.

 

[dorianR666]

just informing that this is still present in todays update

[Gripen 4-1]

Boah the jittering clouds are a game killer. 2.7 Is unplayable in VR for me!

[HunterICX]

Still getting them as well as of the latest OB update:

Also I spotted this in one of the recordings when at a certain angle in a dogfight:
