ACME_WIdgets Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Playing MP on G Sidewinders, F16 and F14. Every now and then screen goes about 7/8 black with far right vertical strip OK. Not a black or red out. I go to F2 and can see my plane. I go F1 and now I'm in the cockpit and everything is OK. Happened twice per day for the last 2 days.

ACME_WIdgets Posted August 3, 2022 Author Posted August 3, 2022 Sorry, I don't have a short track. I have not had this issue with my brand new entire system, bult in March '22 until just lst 2 weeks. EVGA 3070FTW card. I did reproduce the "fix" twice as going to F2 and then F1 back into the cockpit and no more black squares blocking my screen. While in F2 I still had control of plane. 5600x, EVGA 3070 FTW, B550 Tomahawk, M.2 Samsung, 32GB CL16, AIO 240mm VKB Gladiator Pro, Freetracker IR 3d printed, TM MkII HOTAS circa 1985 w/USB Asus 27" 2560x1440 60fps (so constrain DCS to 60fps) F-16, F-18 2021 = First year on DCS:
ACME_WIdgets Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 I have a "black screen" event on a 23MB TRK file: @Flappie@BIGNEWY I have not tried to view or replay it, as I heard that may corrupt the file. I went to F2 and then F1 and the problem went away (maybe you can look for these key commands in the file?) Is there any way to send it to you or post somewhere? It was on a server restart of GS MP at about 7:28pm PST yesterday Aug 5, I was the first plane up, F16, less than 10 minutes total time (I think). FYI, it also shows the Blue "radar glitch" on the GS MP Urban Thunder server at the end. Enemy was semi hot, at angels 42, then dissapeard from DL and my radar, I wait about 10 seconds then turn away - and then he reappears and shoots me down. @Growling Sidewinder 5600x, EVGA 3070 FTW, B550 Tomahawk, M.2 Samsung, 32GB CL16, AIO 240mm VKB Gladiator Pro, Freetracker IR 3d printed, TM MkII HOTAS circa 1985 w/USB Asus 27" 2560x1440 60fps (so constrain DCS to 60fps) F-16, F-18 2021 = First year on DCS:

Hi, Just wanted to say that I have this issue as well and also point out that it seems to me that a track file would not contain the error. You guys are not recording anything out of the video card right? No images? The track files themselves are not very large so I'm assuming there is nothing image related. So if the problem is a video bug, and the track file is only recording game state data, if you play the track file back on a computer system that does not have this problem, you're never going to see it. Is there anything else that those of us who have this problem can do on our end to provide additional diagnostics? Can DCS generate a more comprehensive debug output? I can video capture an example but i don't think a movie file will help you except to confirm that there is indeed a problem. And there are examples on youtube already showing the issue. This happens to me very frequently and it really takes away from my enjoying my Sabre. 1
Cycolonic Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Thanks. Will continue the conversation over there.
