reported Huge brown crater texture issue

Im experiencing the same in all of the 4YA servers like Eggcake with identical symptoms. Its almost always at an airbase. Makes it impossible to land.  Starts happening a couple hours into a session. 

I had it today on 4ya Marianas at a farp, so it's not always at an airbase. If I recall correctly, I was destroying a Shilka, a kub & manpads.

This was just before installing todays patch. Will have to see if the patch solves the issue. Didn't see anything specific mentioned on this in the changelog though, so I fear that it has not officially been fixed yet.

Kind regards

As I suspected. 

Probably will take some time to sort out, because despite all the uploaded trk and log files they are unable to replicate the issue.

Don't know what further tests one can do to provide any clues to this problem.

Devs are looking into it. As stated above, this issue might be tough to fix as long as testers and devs are having a hard time reproducing it.

Fortunately, the problematic texture has been identified ("Voronka" crater) thanks to the various screenshots found here and in Discord. Hopefully, it will help devs focus on a specific section of the code.

So I flew Grayflag, Shadowreapers and 4YA recently and I only ever had this on 4YA.

Not sure whether that helps in any way but it might point towards a specific unit or script?

I head that it was also on other servers. I believe Contention server was one of those mentioned.

Still going on strong after last update.. glitches are really bad and often over bases so it completelly disrupts operations

[huggy98]

I get the same. Really bad and can make the game unplayable. New game download, no mods, new 4090 laptop with pimax CL.

thank you

Not sure if this is a bug or not (lol), but I have this sweet black and gray rainbow bridge that usually shoots all the way across the map into infinity on Caucasus and South Atlantic. I'm going to name it the Bifrost, it connects all of the other dimensions through space and time. Sometimes it doesn't connect anything and just enhances explosions by blowing them up (no pun intended) and making them massive so you can't miss them. They stick around and don't go anywhere but you can sometimes fly around them and then they hide themselves and go back to normal, sometimes. But then you fly back to your original location and they're right back again. I don't fly single player so this is always on the 4YA multiplayer maps. Doesn't seem to matter which A/C I'm in or not. Screen shots attached.

In all seriousness I just wanted to report this incase others were having this issue.

Please let me know if it is unclear or if you need anything from me to help clear up the issue.

Thanks again, have a wonderful day guys!

two more craters maybe it helps

[David A Sell]

I had this issue as well for the first time last night on PG. No mods at all, 4090. 

 

Did @BIGNEWY get trackfiles he needed from folks in the thread?

Recently with the latest versions of DCS, I sometimes have very strange views on some airports of all the maps, see the attachments in Syria or the Caucasus in multiplayer on 4YA. Do you have this kind of inconvenience or does my installation leave something to be desired?

 

[Leva80]

Believe most are experiencing this. Very frustrating. Makes it impossible to land. Also noticed, laser mavericks lose lock when this happens at an airfield you are trying to clear. 

[rob10]

Definitely an issue and ED are working on it, but also seems to be server specific.  I haven't ran into it on our private squadron server at all.  I think 4YA is one of the more common ones seeing it.

Hello, 
anyone have any tips on resolving this bug. I am seeing giant graphicnulls for tnullhingnulls like craters. Also these rpg guys had their rpgs detatched from their launchers. nullnull
