Mig-Mag Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 hi folks, I hope some one can help me with this annoying problem. It appeared suddenly, so Idon't how to get rid of it. 1.When clouds are set to 9 or 10 light an shadow mapping just disappear on selected objects. Some times when camera position has changed lightan shadows will show up again. 2.When starting on the carrier, the su-33 is surrounded by a huge shadow that covers the carrier. F9 view won`T show any light shadow mapping on the carrier. any idea?

Gazehound Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Isnt that because the sunlight is patchy when the cloud is dense? Its hard to see if its a bug or a feature from the shots. The first pic looks natural, the one of the AK looks bad though. VVS504 Red Hammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Chizh Posted July 22, 2005 ED Team Share Posted July 22, 2005 To Mig-Mag Please try turn off the heat blur. That effect can take same artefacts in some configurations.

curli Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hello , and sorry for my very poor english..... What driver use for the graphic card?????? Me (i'm a 6800gt) i'm use a 77.76 beta (great for lockon). The official 71.89 is bad for lockon (CTD). The official 77.72 is bug to dynamic shadows (the plane is "gris" in french lol) The 77.30 (beta) is good for lockon but i'm bug whith IL2 PF. I'm download the drivers here (77.76 beta) http://www.clubic.com/lancer-le-telechargement-4750-1-forceware.html Good fly all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig-Mag Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 well i tried several drivers, but it is alway the same. I turned off the heatblur, but nothing changed.

KuostA Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Of course that may solve it, But is there a way to correct this bug without downgrading any options? That would be a real pitty. Ever see how LOMAC looked without Advanced haze enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat61 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Ok. I have your answer, unfortunately I dont think its the one you want. You need the 61.77 Nvidia drivers. The problem lies with the ships. When ships are moving on screen, all dynamic lighting and shadows stop. Once you get into a certain distance of the ships, you lose these effects. I had posted on the UBI forum about this problem last year. Ive been through two graphics card upgrades and the rusults are the same on both. If ships move, you get no shadows. Its just a bug. As of now, no modern Nvidia drivers will correct this. The only ones that would allow me to get dynamic shadows with moving ships were the Nvidia 61.77 drivers. If you have a GF card, hunt for these and they will solve your problem, unfortunately it is a very old driver. If you are a ATI man, then im at a loss, I have never seen a fix for this bug with any ATI driver, I may be wrong though... Good Luck. "When you're out of Tomcats, you're out of fighters!"

viperace Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well i have had this problem for a long while and realized it is a driver situation, i have my haze in "basic" and still get it, it only happens when a ship is moving, try building a mission with stopped ships and you'll get all the shadows, now modify it so that only one of them is moving (not matter if it is only at 1 kt.), boom!, your shadows are gone (it wouldn't be that bad if only the shadows were gone, but you also get this dark, flat, unlit look to the ships that makes it unbereable to look at). I know is the driver because i noticed it the first time it happened, the 5x.xx series driver does not have this problem, but they are too slow for my 6800gt. By the way, i've tried this on 3 different computers with different configurations and as long as i used one of the newer drivers (or had a ship moving) they were no shadows. I want to thank you MIG-MAG for bringing this up, i've tried before but i didn't know how to post screenshots here in the forum, now that Chizh has seen it maybe they can fix this. I agree it's extremely annoying, to the point that i try not to make any ships move on missions just to avoid this problem, the only way i've seen that works is by turning off shadows completely, that works (gives you higher FPS too, but it looks bad) but i want my shadows!!!!. So ED could you help us with this, it seems that the Nvidia cards are the only ones affected. Again it only happens when a ship is moving, it happens regardless of AA and Anitrosopic (spelling) filtering setting, sometimes the no shadow thing transfers to weapons in flight and planes, it makes not want to use the ships , that's how ugly it looks, the screenshots of MIG-MAG look good in comparison to how it realy looks in a real monitor, it's horrible. Please help us ED!!, we count on you guys!!. Thanks Chizh and MIG-MAG for bringin up thsi matter :) EDIT: While I was typing this long message Hellcat beat me to it , oh well, thankls :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 As with PF, the best Nvidia drivers for FC is 66.93. This driver does not have the shader 3.0 bugs like drivers after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVJG73 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 The other way are set under "Weather" "THCKNSS" and "DENSITY" to low!

zaelu Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Same bug here. And please stop with those "workarounds" like: downgrade your settings and is gone... blah blah... How would you like ViperVJG73 to have a bug on your system and me to come an tell you to throu away your new video card and just buy an 3dfx downgrade your settings and eventualy don't play the game anymore? Stop heat blurr, stop advanced haze, stop wheather, stop AA, stop AF... WTH are we going to play Pacman?? I can live with the bug (there are small workarounds without lowering your settings), I just don't like those "solutions", I find them to be a sad joke. It will be also nice if some one from ED will agnoledge the existence of this bug and either blame nVidia either say "we are working on it". later edit There is a bug with full-shadows when in mission are planes and ships. Can't be fixed now. So my last sentence is not relevant anymore :) .

Weta43 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I too picked this bug up the day I bought an nVidia card (6600GT), as well as a problem with heat blur. New nVidia drivers are not doing well with LOMAC Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylem Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I recently put in a new card, too; 7800 GT, and upgraded to FC. Now I've got this bug. But I also didn't have it before with LOMAC 1.02, and I've always had nvidia cards and late drivers. It happens only with the SU-33 as far as I can tell. Very disappointing. Also I'm not using heat blur, haze is basic, and no AA or AF, so it's something else. Is there any solution on the horizon?

xylem Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Haven't tried with the Su25 yet, Weta. But I did take RuggButt's suggestion and turned down "Full" shadows to "All Planar" and the problem went away. I don't even know what planar means, or the difference between Full and 'all planar'; can anybody point me to an explanation? And how do we know it's the nvidia drivers? And is anybody planning on looking into this? Cheers, Amd BTW that's funniest thing I've seen in a long time RYKE.
