New Cloud System Causing Black Screen

[Da Madcat]

Since the release of 2.7 I have been having problems with the screen suddenly turning black for no apparent reason (see attached video)
I have tested with a few different cloud settings and all have caused the same problem. When I turned off the clouds there were zero problems.

I had the same issue with the Su25-T while approaching Sochi, but not as severe as your video shows it. Within F1 (cockpit view) I could glance down at the instrument panel and everything rendered fine. Once I centered my view, or left or right, everything went black. Outside views and flyby view were not affected. That was an interesting experience, landing instruments only as a DCS novice.

Have you tried removing your anti-virus?   It caused me some similar issue when upgraded to 2.7

I don't run anti-virus. I run everything as a VM within proxmox with a custom made firewall in front of it. The Win 10 VM can only route to the ED servers for updates and stuff. Not even usual browsing is possible within this Windows VM.

 

Snapshots of the Windows VM every 10 minutes, rollback if need be.

 

BTW Flappie, I'm a new forum member and didn't realize that certain areas are forbidden for me within the first 24h. In your other thread, the crash due to the audio device in your VM, could you please post your /etc/pve/nodes/xyz/qemu-server/123.conf being 123 the ID of your Win 10 VM?

It's not my server, it's @davidp57's.

 

I read you're running a W10 VM: W10 has its own embeded antivirus and it's called Defender. You should try what Brainfreeze suggests. Add these folders as exceptions to Windows Defender (howto) :

• C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta
• C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS
• \DCS World OpenBeta\
• \DCS World\

Just updated and enjoying the new clouds at sunset - I too had a similar partial black screen on external views after firing the gun or popping flares in the F-16C

It happed to me quite a lot of times...but only at sunset/sunrise...so maybe it is part of the "WIP low sun above the horizon"...

I've also have this problem sometimes.
