[Marcos Paes]

Shadows onlu render in 50% of the screens, it only occurs on MT !

[Marcos Paes]

Any updates about this?

nullI have posted 2 pictures, after and befor todays update. The bug persists, anyone know how to fix this?null

Every time you update make sure you clear out you metashader2 cache, as well as you FXO files in you saved games. Run a slow repair and try again.

+1, even after deleting fxo/metashaders and repairing. Same issue

i tried and still

same problem

I found 1 solution, moving my "ddi" monitor to the top of main monitor, before it was on left side.

Do not work, shadow just moved now!

[Marcos Paes]

Anyone else with same bug?

[Marcos Paes]

Bump

[thecrazedlog]

Yep, I have this same bug. I've not tried anything to fix it yet, if I find something I'll post it here.

 line that cuts my screen in half, they display the same image but one side is brighter or is a higher contrast.../dont have any reshaders etc installed in fact the game was freshly installed on new drive

I have a similar problem since the last Update. The Mission starts in the Dark (not a Night Mission, FW190A8, Persian Golf, Convoy Strafe) and after a while the Light goes on and it's bright again.

HP G2, Ryzen 3700x and RTX3080

I'll delete the metashaders next and try a repair this evening

[thecrazedlog]

I deleted shaders and did a repair, no difference.

I seem to be having almost the same issue, will post more details later.

[MT - SP and MP, ST version is fine]

First thing i noticed in Marcos' posts is that the area width where the shadows seem to missing is exactly the width of the unused part of the DX surface. Saw the same thing happening here but with different widths.

My screenshot:

It's like some layer isn't shifted to the proper position.

 

Recording of the issue:

 

My settings:

 

Monitor config is attached.

Hope this can be fixed, especially in the pit it's pretty annoying.

Thanks

Also experiencing the same problem, screenshot attached, only an issue with MT, thought it might have been fixed with the text change as it was wrong by the same offest.

[Coug4r]

For me this hasn't been fixed (yet).

[Saruman]

Bump. Any official statement about this? It happens after latest update too.

I'll test this today, using my wife's monitor. Bare with me: it's going to be the first time ever I play DCS with more than one screen.

Can you please quickly explain what I'll need to do to give DCS a second monitor?

[Saruman]

Yeah, attach the monitor and set it up in Windows on the left side of main monitor (or on top of it; if you set it on the right, no midline appears).

Here's my setup, for example:

 

In my case, monitor 1 is 10'' and 1024x768 resolution, monitor 2 is main 26'' monitor and 1920x1080 resolution. Windows decides the numbers in an awkward way and you can't change them, so don't bother if your second monitor is listed as number 1.

Then, you must create a .lua file (name it at your wish) in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\MonitorSetup folder (you have to create the latter folder, if not already existing) and you must setup the viewports.

For the purpose, do consider that x and y axes start from top-left of monitor 1 (based on my setup, ymmv). So, for example, in my setup, first pixel at top-left of monitor 1 has coordinates x=0 and y=0.

Taking this into consideration, you have to edit the aforementioned lua file by writing into it monitor resolutions, corresponding coordinates and viewports you want to export on second monitor. I'm attaching my lua file, to let you easily understand it and adapt to your needs and personal setup.

Saruman.lua

After all of this, you run DCS, go into settings, open "Monitors" drop-down menu and choose the lua file you edited(figure attached). Restart DCS and you're good to go.

I'm also using multi monitor in Windows, so I reckon you're on to something here.

Hi,

On multi screen display, as you can see below, there is a color display bug in the color zones, one zone being darker than the other, always at the same screen position. Any idea on how to correct this?

Thx for your help.

Cheers

i know this , but it is gone here a pict from 17-03-2023

It looks like the rederinglayer is moved around the exportmonitor, starts at 0/0, but does not subtract the left monitor!
You can set the monitor to the right, but this should not be the solution. Programming error.
You have the supercarrier? And do you see the LSO displays?

v-sync on   / off  = it flickers sometimes briefly sometimes above, sometimes below

I'm experiencing the same issue with multimonitor setup, currently I have 3 additional screens setup to right of my main screen. It seems that this artifact shows on that side too.
