Patch notes discussion October 2023 - DCS 2.9

Recommended Posts

Is nobody else getting crazy shimmering of shadows and in particular 3D grass with 2.9?
I was getting some grass shimmer with MSAA. None with DLSS or DLAA.

I play in VR though, so I can't speak for monitor graphics.

It's well known at this point, so I'm sure there will be patches soon. I don't find the ghosting to be too bad though.

My point its about why is so bad on ED modules but it works perfect on Mirage and Strike Eagle TGP (but rest of menús on SE have ghosting but much less than, as example, Viper), they have to make something different

No idea. I've only tried 2.9 in the Viper so far.
The older modules may need some updated graphics tweaks to match the core, but that's way outside of my expertise.

I suffer stuttering both MT and ST. After cleanup and repair I have got still the same issue. No luck...

The place where I noticed this the most, downright jarring, was A2AR from a C-130.  Of course I didn't try with an IL-78, so maybe the tanker version is inconsequential.

Anyway, the basket had about twelve gallons of coffee too much. 

It was visible flying formation with an AI F-14, it about took my teeth out when I tried to refuel.

Tracks, maybe even videos, on demand.  I'd be a bit stunned if ED hasn't been inundated with both.

The desktop icon still launches ST for me. Have to launch DCS from the Steam library to start in MT.

Hope ED will drop ST entirely from OB soon. I honestly see no reason to keep ST around in OB anymore.

Why don't you point the desktop icon to the MT version or create a new shortcut to the MT DCS.exe if you find the step going through the Steam libraby a step to much?

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!

I could. I just don't mind launching from the Steam library.

I read somewhere here that MT is now the default launch since 2.9, so I just figured that the desktop icon is now configured for that. Just something I was pointing out incase this was a minor bug.

The track reply system was still not working, at least for the marvellous and notorious F-14B. I shot down the J-11A during play and I suddenly went 1-circle and got shot down in the replay... 😞

Exactly the same for me. Its never worked correctly for a couple of years I've found. I had a flight on the gauntlet mission and replayed the track to find my wingman crashed into me mid air but I completed the mission in real time should I say and successfully made it back to base.

I am in quite a mess here. DCS Open Beta will not launch it crashes every time. I do not see anything in the log file that gives me a clue. DCS Updater utility will not allow me to select anything. I want to try a repair, can someone please tell me the command line to do a repair of my install? All I know to do now is try a slow repair. I am getting desperate, any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could try any of the old version of Dcs Updater utility. Version 7:31:2023 GUI interface would just quit on me before I could do anything. I reverted to on earlier version which worked until the latest version was released.

Good luck.

I will check it out, thanks. Clean install and it still will not let me do anything, can not set the path to DCS.

I have moved to the Updater Utility forum.

in a commandline, navigate to your dcs bin folder and type in the following: dcs_updater update @openbeta <enter>

It looks like NVGs have been updated in VR to replicate two tubes that you can look under.  I didn't see this in the patch notes.  Was this just something that was in a previous patch that I never noticed because I was using mods to do this?  Or were NVGs updated for 2.9?

When we had the opportunity to send some feedback to ED not long back I expressed my concerns with VR and how I feel it has been neglected. 
This update has improved the situation with VR, the upscale options have given me a notable visual improvement whilst continuing to maintain 45fps and smooth VR gameplay. I am still playing around to fine tune my settings but tried the Spitfire on the Normandy map last night and all I can say is it beautiful. Sinai was running smoothly as well. 
However despite an improvement with the North Atlantic map, and I noticed in the update the the built up areas have received some optimisation, there is still warping stuttering and strange effects when looking over buildings and it is in my view still unplayable. I will continue to see what settings can be changed but unfortunately that means having different settings applied depending on the map you are using. I have noticed that if you make changes to graphics in the settings despite it saying no game restart is needed you do need to restart dcs or performance is poor. I am still getting a lot of steam VR crashes with OB that I don’t tend to get with normal DCS. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing that? 

To think we could have further improvements with Vulkan being implemented, things are heading in the right direction. 
I shall stick with my 3080 for now and not invest in a costly upgrade.

Up until 2.9 I have found ST, OpenVR & reprojection the smoothest experience. 2.9 may change that (lots of fiddling to do) but having ST & OpenVR available in the OpenBeta provides a useful comparison of like for like feature wise.

My expectations are that MT & OpenXR will make ST largely obsolete but we aren't there yet IMHO.
