Night time water bug


DimSim

Recommended Posts

Just noticed this with latest version v2.7.12.23362

Have not isolated, but these steps did reproduce:

Steps to reproduce

1.  AH-64 -> Instant Action -> Desert Challenge

2. Quit mission

3. F-18 -> Mission -> Mission Qualification: Supercarrier CASE III Recovery

4. Observe sea glowing. (Restart game and skip straight to 3. to see normal behavior)

Good (Normal)

Bad (After repro steps)

EDIT: Workaround is to restart game. (Repo step 4 hints at this, but it's important to know it can be temporarily avoided.)

Not a good solution but restarting DCS will fix the issue. At least for me, the very few times this happened.

It's even more specific. If I recall correctly, you have to play a day mission with a cloud preset, and then a night mission with no cloud preset to get this weird bug.

The issue was reported earlier.

Thanks for isolation info.

If this has been reported earlier, particularly with any official response, please add the link if you find it.

This is the closest thread I found when searching before posting:

Yes, that is one of many graphic bugs that were introduced by DCS 2.7. many of them have been squashed.

I'll bump the report since many users encounter it.
