FC2 Bug Thread

[Distiler]

Strange thing here. When I play the F-15 quick mission, the M818 truck that is in the airport appears with a low detail LOD (lack of texturing in wheels, the rear part, etc in brown color). If I make a new mission and I put there an M818 it appears correct. It just happens with that quick mission. Both M818 as an unit, not static.

 

I've made a backup of the quickmission and edited it, putting more M818, and still continues showing with a low LOD.

 

I have "use these options for all missions" active.

 

I've uninstalled the mods I have and still continues with this behaviour.

EDIT, FOUND: it's the E3A AWACS that's giving the problem. Delete it from the mission and M818 returns to full textured. Put both models in any mission and you got a glitch there. Confirmed by another pilot. WEIRD! I've been in a mission without E3A and seems there are other models conflicting with M818 but I have not identified yet.

SP GUI screens are flickering (doesn't do this with everybody), bands accross the screen about 1cm thick.

MP GUI screen does not flicker.

Sound Errors

Well- I can't find the specific answer anywhere- so I'll ask it here. If I were to map "all & team chat" to say "Y" & "T" or some other simple key whose defaults I consider unimportant- will that correct the total lockdown problem? I tried alt+tab the other night - did not appear to correct it.

i dont see the elevators moving on the A10 (at least)

They move in my pc (single and multiplayer), do you have mods? (if you have A-10 simmod, use Skypat's package)

Just tried A-10 AFAC ops.

Hydra WP seems to be bugged.

Smoking time is only around 25 seconds, which makes it pretty much useless.

Is it correct that the A-10 carries only 8 WP's out of two LAU-61?

 

Did a re-check with Su-25T and S-8TsM, it has the nice orange smoke and smokes for many minutes, like the A-10 WPs used to do in FC1.12.

Bug is known and will be fixed.

Only when I've used a Saitek profiler - and I hadnt cleared all the conflicting inputs in the Controls.

This is what I did to clear it in DCS, similar methods applies to FC2.

Perhaps a problem when Saitek and FC/DCS input tries to "win" hooking on to the input you just pressed.

 

After a period of fly time FC 2 locks up PC. Must reboot to clear. Anyone else having this issue?

 

I've done about 5 flights and 3 of them have ended up with a lock up. Screen freezes while I can still hear sound. Reboot on 2 of them, but on one of them I pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL and finally got back to debrief screen with no "timestamp" messages. Can't find any crash file if you wanna have a look? In the temp folder there is a file called Error and one called errors? Not sure if they are helpfull?

 

I don't use any profiler for controllers, and have only been using Track IR and Thrushmaster Afterburner, so I have only a few keys mapped on joystick. Still might have happened pressing a joystick button and keyboard key at the same time?

[Panzertard]

Yes, they will be very helpful, thanks. :)

I've attached 2 error.txt files, lastmission.trk and dxdiag if you are interested. Last freeze was during finals to land. Since I've only done a few flights, I've pretty much just flown along with a few of the Mig29 trainning missions, and then suddenly freeze. No advance stuff.

 

In graphics.cfg I set MaxFPS = 60, and I set head roll shaking = false in View.lua.

 

Had to zip the 2 error files togheter to get it to upload. Time out when I try uploading the lastmission.trk. It's about 6.7 Mb but no luck when zipped either.

 

Cheers

Lakes look like giant holes in the ground. They don't look like water. Serious graphics problem.

 

Fly close to a lake. You'll see what I'm talking about. You can see objects that poke under the terrain...

This glitch has existed since the original lockon, all water is drawn at sea level, so a lake that is above that height will have a water surface that looks further away than it should be.

[deadsmell]

This happened to me a couple nights ago.........

 

I flew all the way back to base like this, LMAO the whole the way.

 

I know someone else posted that they managed a wingless RTB in the F-15, but this is no F-15.

 

Anyway thought you guys might be interested.

 

Also please note in the last image, you can see the difference in the water textures. It seems to bug out the water in overcast weather conditions.

 

Thanks.

GAI task is still bugged. Intercept aircraft take off after some seconds if the awacs or radar has not yet detected anything.

 

It works well when the enemy is detected quickly tho (you don't even need to setup waypoints or target zones, so that part is resolved from DCS:Ka-50)

[deadsmell]

When ending a mission, and pressing "quit", the game crashes.

 

heres some crash files from my temp folder.

 

Ok heres the crash and error files:

Tried a new flight today and was cruising along and game freezes again. Was not pushing any buttons or anything. Tried Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Alt-Delete but nothing happens. After about a minute or so I hear my plane hit the ground and then it seems it wants to go back to menu, but then my computer resets I guess all the Ctrl-Alt-Delete kicks in. So it might seem that it's the graphics/screen that locks up?

Hmmm...I've always thought that this was an effect that simulates a lakes mirror-like reflection since lakes tend to be much less choppy than sea and that those objects were a cheap attempt at reflecting buildings and surrounding land on the water like you see on a clear lake. If it is a bug...I kind of like it. :-)

I joined the 104th server the other night; first attempt at MP with FC2. I took off and flew a bit and after a short while realized none of my key commands worked anymore. I couldn't change master modes, couldn't turn auto-pilot off, etc. I could fly the plane with the stick and throttle, but all key inputs were ineffective. I couldn't even ESC quit. IIRC, I crashed to see if it would let me exit, and ended up killing it with Task Manager.

 

Any ideas?

 

EDIT: Panzertard provided a workaround for this issue here. You just have to tap RCtrl each time after sending a chat message to the team channel. Also, Crunch suggested mapping team chat to something else to avoid having to tap RCtrl. I think this is a bug, i.e. it not exiting that mode after you hit ENTER to send the message, but at least there's a workaround.

Any one else having this issue with the A10 I take off and the climb ladder is left of center. On any mission I do. It seems to be something with the track ir. All the other planes no problem just the

A10 is doing it.

cross wind will do that. have you checked the wind before flight?
