Hi Focha, I'm not sure it's the same issue: I have a problem of video corruption only when texture=high (or also =mid in nevada) and not while flying, but as soon as the system ends to load the mission and the mission should start.

9.8 drv are one of the best version for the 4850

Ah I didn´t knew that.:smartass:

 

Another question: Is there at last someone out there with an ATI Card that gets acceptable frame rates without heavy graph errors above the 4830 ?

[july865]

Remember: It's a beta.

.

you will have to pry my cold, dead fingers off this game before i give up..... beta or not...

[alexiao73]

Try everything, absolutely everything. That's how things get fixed.

just updated the driver version from 9.8 to 10.9, but nothing to do... still the same problem with texture=high...:cry: but at least I got a gain of 5-7 fps!:thumbup:

Just one thought:

 

Did you disable adaptive antialiasing, catalyst A.I and Vsync at the same time and everthing elso to application controlled?

AA and AF are application controlled, adaptative AA and catalyst AI are disabled. V-sync is on, I'll try to set it to off but I don't think it will make difference...

I have a problem when I dcs a-10 start whatever mission I start running quickly whether their own or multiplayer. the loading screen freezes at the half, and I only hear the sound of the other aircraft

 

 

my system:

Windows XP Professionel sp3

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+

2 GB Ramm

Sapphire Radeon 1550 512 mb

When attempting a sea "landing", once the airplane starts to sink the reflections on the water are way off (see screenshots).

Also the low altitude trails on the water are very flickery.

 

very decent framerate on HIGH settings considering my oldish rig (8800 GT, C2D) as long as I leave the AA alone and provided the mission isn't too busy.

 

As I understand Nevada map is unfinished, I have a lot of flickering, as if the ground texture wanted to overlap with the object textures on top.

Caucasus seems fine.

When the loading screen appears, make sure you don't click anywhere else and shift the focus. If you do, the same happens as when you alt-tab out of the game: you won't be able to enter the simulation again. You'll just hear the sounds.

 

To make sure this isn't happening, try running the game in windowed mode with a resolution less than your native resolution (If you have a 1280x1024 monitor, try 1024x768, for example)

@ alexio

 

I had a strange bug with mafia 2 recently. As soon as I turned anti aliasing off in the ingame menu almost all of the objects disapeared in the game, excet the sky and the eyes of the character.

 

Took some time to find that out since I turn AA always off.

Same here, the front panel is highly textured and fonts are well readable but left and right consoles are barely/not readable, even with zoom at max. I tried with cockpit at 1024 and 1024 every frame and it's the same result. I've put texture at high setting. (However, the caution panel is well readable for me).

oh, and it was with the x86 .exe (for TIR)

 

P5N32eSLI-plus - C2D e6600 - 4Gb RAM - HD5870 w/Catalyst10.9 - Win Vista 64bit - TIR4.

 

Sorry for the autoquote but I think I've found a solution in the problem up here:

I've reseted my catalyst (10.9) drivers with:

- AA: let the application settings

- Enable Triple Buffer

- Force V-sync.

 

Now, all the panels are hi-def well readable. I've noticed improvement in FPS too.

Hope it can help.

I have my monitor set to 1024x768 and the game on windowed mode on1024x768 but it freezes I can still hear the sound

As I posted above, choose a lower resolution as your native monitor/desktop resolution (if possible) to repeat the test.

I guess we are OT with that, in any case I really dont' know, try to update directx and video drv. I suggest you to check in some mafia2 related forum, it might be a known issue.

Sorry for the OT

Yes, I am German.

 

You have to set DCS to a lower resolution, not the desktop ;) :

 

If you have your monitor normally set up to 1024x768 and run the game windowed in 1024x768 or higher, it may snap to fullscreen, no matter if you activated it or not. But if you run DCS in a window SMALLER than the Desktop, you make sure you run DCS in a window.

sorry mein englisch is sehr schlecht und der google übersetzer haut mir meist ein qaudewelsch raus was keiner fersteht

[Feuerfalke]

Ich habe Dir mal eine PM geschrieben.

[alexiao73]

Dev team, I could finally collect some files to try to understand what happens here. Please check my crash log files attached.

As already reported, the issue occurs when I set texture=high, not matter the lowest are the other video options in game and in CCC 3d panel (and at lower monitor resolution), it's the identical issue reported by Tulkas in the really first post of this thread. When the system ends to load the mission the video gets corrupted (see tulkas screenshots), audio is ok, but I can press a rectangle which is supposed to be the esc button and dcs.exe gets crashed (see files attached) but returning to main mission menu, not a CTD.

 

Directx and ati drv are the most recent.

My system:

-Win XP Pro 32 bit SP3

-E8500

-Radeon 4850

-4Gb Ram

-Samsung T240HD @1900x1200

 

Files attached: dxdiag, dcs.log, *.crash, 39c4_appcompat.txt (in system\ temp).
