cannot reproduce Stripes on shallow waters

[draconus]

Most visible in VR, but it's also in 2D - check about 10 seconds into the track replay. Latest beta 2.8.

I get this in Syria and Marianas as well.

@draconus I have no such issue. It looks like conflicting sim/GPU driver settings.

Upgraded to NV 526.47 and deleted fxo and metashaders, still issue in VR. No nvcpl settings changed (all default).

Yeah I am unable to reproduce this either. No mods?

[draconus]

No mods.

[TimSell75]

I had originally posted this bug in the VR section.

I just built a new PC: New graphics card, new CPU, new Mainboard. Fresh install of Windows and completely fresh install of DCS without any mods.

The Bug is still present and most obvious with overcast wheather preset.

[Flappie]

Please attach your options.lua (from Saved Games/DCS.../Config). I'll use it and try to reproduce the issue.

[TimSell75]

Thanks! Lua attached

This ist the simple Test Mission I created with the F-16

Thanks. I still cannot reproduce it with your options.lua. It really looks like a GPU driver/setting issue.

I tried it with the latest 3 Nvidia drivers. My old PC had a 3090, the new one a 4090. The bug kept being the same. It is hardly visble in 2D. Best way to see it is in VR with an overcast preset, there it is really obvious. This is what I see:

what flappie is saying is that your nvidia cp settings and the in game settings are confusing the overall settings. changing driver will not usually change any other settings. they stay from driver to driver.

here are my settings and i do not have this issue. you have 4090 so even more capable as my 3090.

Thanks a lot! I mirrored all your settings but still have the effect of the lines running through the image. It is solely related to the shallow water texture on the PG map. I have not noticed it anywhere else and it came with the latest update of the map with 2.8

hmm. i suppose it could be a VR thing. i do not use VR yet. like flappie said though, it does look like a driver vs in game settings issue. i would suggest taking note of all your settings and perhaps try a reset to default in NCP and pick a settings level in DCS. starting from a known base is always good troubleshooting.

[draconus]

Still an issue. According to this thread:

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/312947-reporting-vr-performance-problems/#comment-5089794

I attached all the info and files needed.

Oculus is set all default (to max performance) and nvcpl is set all default (both global and dcs.exe) and to use app settings.

I noticed the issue also in Syria map shallow waters.

Yes I could replicate it, the shallow water texture has the same bug in Syria. Tested it with two different PCs and headsets, the lines are visible on both systems.

Still prominent after the latest OB Patch unfortunately

As long as neither testers nor devs can reproduce this issue, don't expect a fix anytime soon.

I'll share your track with all internal testers and tell you if one of them is able to reproduce the glitch.

Thanks, make sure to test in VR.

Edit: tested in OB 2.8.2. still the same, although the stripes are different/wider spaced now.

Sure, I specifically asked for VR testers.

I came across this bug flying in the Persian Gulf today. I took off from the carrier by the coast line, I looked to my left and noticed streaks in the shallow water. I'm not sure how to replicate it at the time being, but here's everything needed along with screenshots.

I've just tried again @draconus's tracks using your DCS and NVIDIA settings, but I'm still unable to reproduce  this issue.

We must find what you all have in common that triggers this.
