nullnullnullSyria causing these graphical errors...

These photos are from 3 separate people including myself.

Have saw multiple complaints of it, Initially thought it was a metashader/FX delete... Did so, Problem persists.

Doesn't seem to be an issue outside of Syria.

Myself and my fellow pilots get's the same as well since the last update(s). 

I am flying helicopter a lot and it sure makes it interesting. I also just had it on Persian gulf as well on Syria.

Are you guys running any mods?

Where approximately were these screenshots taken?

 

I'm asking because I flew quite a lot on Syria map last Sunday (after updating to latest DCS version) and I didn't see any issues.

When I look straight, I see this. When viewed from the side, textures are displayed correctly.

Syria, Hatay, MP.

Initially, that looks like damaged GPU/Video RAM. But if multiple people experience it, then i dno

[Esac_mirmidon]

Those last coordinates are the Hatay Runway, so this is not a bug obviuosly

No mods at all. 

I have seen this issue some years ago but was fixed in some patch later down the road.

I checked Hatay and it's ok for me. Send your dcs.log please and short track to show the issue.

It's only occasionally & I have only noticed it at airfields.

Most of the major ones, Hatay, Bassel, Rene, Tiyas etc

[HappeeMeal]

Saw the same tonight on Shadow reapers Syria, was away from an airfield though.

[charts100]

nullYes, been seeing these too since the update. Thought it might be a VR issue but other maps seem ok. 

I'm flying on the south of the map, past Eyn Shemer. turning of the head makes it flick in and out. Seems prominent when I'm flying due south. these were taken tonight on Shadow reaper Modern Syria. No mods installed.

If anyone has a short track replay please attach it. 

I dont think this is a Syria issue. 

Please let us know what unofficial mods you are using if any.

I also do not think its a Syria specific issue (now) I heard it happening on PG as well.

 

I will try to gather up a track when I get home, Zero mods.

Hi all

During last flights of my collegues on multiplayer few people reported graphical bugs.
They look like strange huge horizontal stripes... like you would fly on the satrun rings.
They fly on "normal screens". This was on Persian Gulf map.
I dont have no screenshots of that....

I fly in VR and didnt had any problems so far.
Today unfortunately is started to be weird....
This was on Caucasus south of Nalchik....

System, drivers, bios, game, whatever is up tp date.
NO mods.

PROBLEM IS PRESENT NOT ONLY IN VR.
ALSO NORMAL SCREEN VERSION IS AFFECTED.

Has been reported by other users on the DCS Discord server bug reporting channel for other maps and multi-player servers as well.

threads merged. 

Folks I really need a short as possible track replay example so we can track it down. 

If you are using shader edits or mods please let us know and attach your dcs log from the session when it happens. 

thank you

I cant help attm with a track but in my case i dont use any mods or graphical tweaks.
Flown yesterday 4-5h with a collegue in a Apache and then the bug appeared first time for me (see screenshot above).

My collegues became this problems 1-2 days ago.
So this is not a hardware related problem.

It looks like it doesnt matter which map it is.
Caucasus, Persian Gulf and Syria has this problem so far.
Also different jets/helis were used so its hard to keep the search radius small....

This also seems to be related to this topic:

Hello everyone!
I'm the owner of the DCS World server, and after previous updates, some of my players reported about a really strange glitch. The shader cache cleaning and other things didn't solve the issue, and the bug affects both server instances (CAU and PG).

Has anyone else encountered this? I'm pretty sure this is not a mission or MOOSE-related issue, because for me it seems to be some kind of graphics problem.

 

We're assuming that it has something related to the blast craters.

[AlexZander_D]

Same for our server players. 

Different players, PCs, and appears both on the Caucasus and Gulf maps.

 

[Johnny Johnny Johnny]

For me this happens in large multiplayer servers so far, haven't played enough single player to trigger it yet. My trackfile is huge and wont load due to the server scripts I guess.

[sleighzy]

Is being covered in this forum thread, you can track progress and provide info there.

These are the most common glitch, the giant bomb crater is less of an issue however the lines on the ground are destroying game play. They seem to vary in altitude but are always low.... usually form 50 to 400 ft so you can fly through and under them to see the true ground underneath. They seem to appear after ground damage occurs. There are other glitches such as giant towers climbing a couple of thousand feet.
