Black Boxes appearing in the sky.


Recommended Posts

When I'm flying around with clouds, sometimes strange black boxes will appear in the sky. I can't get a screenshot of it because they only appear for like a quarter second, but damn it's distracting.

 

My specs: Ryzen 1700 @ 3.6ghz, Radeon RX 580 8gb, 32gbs RAM, Installed on SSD.

 

I've found that lowering my GPU clock speed seems to reduce the frequency of them appearing, but does not outright eliminate them.

All they need is a track file not a screenshot.

I highly doubt a track file is going to show the same graphical artifacts. It's graphical artifacting after all.

Sounds like a similar problem I and others have experienced, are you in VR

I have been seeing them since the first evening with 2.7 as well. Sometimes I even see black spheres rapidly spinning around my aircraft, in a spherical pattern.

Yeah trackfile doesn't show it as it's a graphical glitch and tracks are just re-runs. If I see it again I will try and film it, but if it's being seen by a few people I bet ED will be aware already.

Seen it for the first time (just once) after today's update to 2.7.1.64300 in 2D.

Very briefly across the screen on the bottom of a cloud layer.

Instant action mission F5-E Free Flight Caucasus.

Seen this also.  Oval shape big black dots that are extremely brief, and since 2.7.1 even more frequent.  Seen it in F-16C and AV-8B so far.  I use the Steam version in 2D with Track-ir.

This topic hasn't the "Reported" tag yet. Still, it's an open beta 2.7 bug ported over in stable release.

This bug is still happening, but seems like it's even worse now. I had an instance where the boxes where continuously flashing in the sky just a moment ago, and was able to get a bunch of screenshots. They were appearing in a ring in the sky above me.
