Black buildings??

[Raven434th]

buildings and vehicles turn black with no texture :mad:.Not sure what the circumstances are when this happens.

[SmokeyTheLung]

Same here, quite lame.

 

Almost looks like a RAM issue, but I have plenty and have never had issues before

[Mustang]

The cause is by alt-tabbing, issue will be reported.

[TRITATUTTO]

Me too , buildings black and flashing black appear/disappear.

Thanks

So it's introduced by alt-tabbing? Can it be similarly remedied?

Try it. But I suspect it will not.

Alright, so I tested for a second. It seems very consistent: first alt-tab makes most objects black. As you suspected, cycling alt-tab doesn't fix it.

[Spetz]

Have the same thing here. I have to alt-tab when I first start in the BS so I can use my mouse to select anything, but then the black buildings. They appear to pop back into a normal building about 700m or so away when approaching. I have also noticed while flying in the shark that random buildings seem to "regenerate" at times when flying over them in the cities. They just flash black and are back to normal again in a 1/2 second. Not a RAM issue, I have 16Gb and all work just fine. Nothing like this in any other aircraft.

I found that when I had "disable windows aero themes" or something similar selected in the options menu then this also caused the exact same thing. This was in the A-10 though.

[Corrigan]

The disable aero thing should always be disabled, IIRC. In any case that isn't what's causing this.

 

At least it's predictable. If you use windowed mode you can get around alt-tabbing for basically anything. The only time I 'alt-tab' is when starting fraps, which forces the sim to redraw everything just like alt-tabbing in full screen mode.

I got the black buildings again last night. I made sure to save a copy of the mp client track for Nate, but when I reviewed the track everything appeared normal--no black buildings. Go figure.

[Corrigan]

Well, yes. Nothing that will show up on a track is broken. Compare it to taking a screenshot when your monitor is cracked.

There was another small discussion about this in the DCS: World Updates Thread. I think somebody there also ran the game in windowed mode but still had the black buildings, without alt-tabbing.

Until more evidence turns up that it can be caused without alt-tabbing, I'm gonna assume he started fraps, pressed ctrl-alt-delete or something else that has the same effect.

Oh I thought even Nate said he experienced it without alt-tabbing. :suspect:

[Corrigan]

His "so do I" could apply to running in windowed mode too. Maybe he can clarify it for us.

Noticed this last night with the latest build in A-10C when fully zoomed in on TGP.

 

I run in fullscreen mode, and havent seen this happen before.

 

Airfield fencelines are also playing up with textures; something has changed in the new build.

Please fix.

[Nate--IRL--]

For now don't alt-tab and you'll be ok.

[RedRain]

I do not alt tab at all, black buildings after last update ?

[TRITATUTTO]

Continue to have black buildings in Shkval and outside cockpit , the disable aero interface is unchecked , i put basic window desktop so i dont need that option.

Any fix till now ? Thanks

[codenamepanzer]

For me i confirm, no ALT TAB = no black buildings

 

Why doing ALT TAB?

As i'm concerned, i do it when at the misson startup i have the mouse cursor on the cockpit but buttons are not clickable. Doing two ALT TAB restore the ability of clickable buttons. I had this problem when i changed my mouse two days ago (RAT9 wireless). I think its a problem of driver/W7.

 

I came back to my old wired mouse to avoid the issue.

[Dav IRL]

It's certainly an immersion breaker

[Mustang]

Are you guys running windowed mode by chance? i think thats also a trigger for the black buildings, try using fullscreen option.
