fixed Water render issue - 2.7.10

[nikoel]

After updating to 2.7.10 water stopped rendering properly beyond a distance of around ~5miles. This is reproduced across F/A-18, Viggen and F-14 leading me to believe it's not aircraft specific. The best way I can describe it, that it's a large square that follows the aircraft over water and there are two sets of textures. One is high fidelity which is close and low fidelity that is far away - however they are completely mismatched

Turned the water textures all the way up and down - no change

Did the usual, shader delete, DCS clean, DCS repair etc... to no avail

Specs - 3900x 6900xt 64GB Ram Win11 all latest everything with full WinWing setup and G2 Rendering everything on high except for shadows and clouds

This issue was reported a few weeks ago. There's a workaround, if you can afford it: don't use the "Low" Water setting.

Thank you

Same problem here.

Water quality setting has no effect on the bug, still there at low, medium or high.

please include a screenshot with water setting at high, is it exactly the same issue for you? Can you also include your dcs.log from that test. 

thanks

My bad, I mixed visibility range and water quality.  The bug goes away effectively at medium and high water quality setting.  Here are my screenshots at medium, low and high:

Same issue here, goes away with medium quality instead of low for water.

Is it planned to be fixed ? This is making carrier operations pretty hard and I clearly can't afford above medium setting due to FPS loss.

Yes, it is. The fix is the oven.

I recorded this video to show the bug. I'm having the same issues. Water is set to low.

This issue was fixed in the latest OB. You can now go back to Low Water setting withtout seeing glitches.
