Lightning Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 I have strong flickering in the A-10 Quick mission ( didnt test any other mission/scene yet ) whenever i look towards the huge hills in the backround. I can see a lot of vertical lines on the hills which are flickering at high frequency. ( It is disturbing the awsome scenery ) :helpsmilie: Everything else is very smooth and no flickering or abnormal graphics. FC2.0 is running with 40-50 fps on deep strike and 70-80 fps in higher altitudes. I am using ATI Catalyst 10.3, Windows 7 - Ultimate 64 Bit 1280 X 960 Resolution (4:3), FC 2.0 Graphics Detail settings are on High ! Temperatures of my CPU and GPU are o.k. , no overheating ! My Catalyst Driver Settings are : Anti Aliasing 8x (maximum) AA Mode : Quality Anisotropic Filter : 16x (maximum) AI : Advanced Mipmap : Quality Anyone else has the same problem ? Is this just an ATI Problem or also caused by Nvidia Graphics Cards ? Thanks for Replies ! best regards, GSG_9_LIGHTNING [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EvilBivol-1 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 This is an unfortunate old bug. Clouds cause the flickering on the mountains. Not fixable at this point. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
S77th-ReOrdain Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Same card, Vista 64. Try turning off Catalyst AI and Triple buffering if you have it on. I also have the Multi-Sample AA turned all the way down. Getting similar framerates or slightly higher than your observations. No graphic anomalies or artifacts to report. Looking sweet.
Quirkitized Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 This mod fixed it for me in DCS, no idea if it works in Lockon but would assume so. It is a great mod imo, helps alot. Please note it will remove cloud shadows, but it's a good sacrifice because the flickering is awful. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=43264&highlight=shadows
71st_Mastiff Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 its the shadows from the clouds to ground effect, don't worry about it, its been there since the begining of Lock on.. you can turn shadows off and that will get rid of it.

theGozr Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 you can turn shadows off.. Then your sim look like a bad version of FS9 .. find a way to keep the shades.. Fly it like you stole it..

I've got the same issue with an ATI 5850, really taking my initial enjoyment out of the game. What driver version you running?

Running the lastest driver from ATI (Catalyst 10.3). You can turn your shadows down from in game options/system/graphics/shadows menu (Full, All Planar, Active Planar), but you can't turn them off from there. Looks like you can remove shadows from within your graphics.cfg file (~line 145), or tweek the density (~line 400). I haven't had the need to adjust those myself though, so I can't comment on what your results may be.

Stangpilot Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Another question, is this an issue associated only with ATI cards? Or does it happen with NVIDIA cards too?
Mustang Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Another question, is this an issue associated only with ATI cards? Or does it happen with NVIDIA cards too? All cards are affected, regardless of brand, model, driver or settings.
