lunaticfringe Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Quadro FX 880M. Never had anything like this until the prior update (before 1.2.7 dropped). Figured it was a faulty install, but it remains, having cleaned everything off of the drive, and re-installed clean today, twice.
159th_Viper Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) What happens if you apply AA? Still the same?

Dudikoff Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 What happens if you get rid of the eye-watering jaggies, ie apply AA? I'd wager to know what happens to the framerates in that case, though ;) The game didn't run well at all often enough on my old laptop with FX3700M which has like more than 2,5x the number of shaders of FX880M plus double the memory bus width, so I admire your patience. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

lunaticfringe Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 No change. The airframe and the Sidewinder remain fluid with round shapes, whereas the AMRAAM model *alone* is square. Every other munition I throw at it, check, and such, renders properly. Only the various AIM-120s do this. As for performance, what I have for right now is what I make do with. Being that I now have two portable systems (a ThinkPad W510 and a Surface Pro), and the latter has taken over basically all roles *except* gaming, the ThinkPad has been up for sale for almost a month, with no takers as of yet. It'll finance a motherboard and some RAM for the desktop I have planned. Besides- I've always spec'd-down graphics options in my flight sims for smooth guns tracking at low level. DCS is no different, although I'm hoping that if I throw an i7 SB-E, 32GB (with half of that as a RamDisk), and a 4GB 770GTX that'll change (at least for a while). :)
Serp Supreme Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I've got the same thing, been happening to me since 1.2.6 though. Not sure exactly when.

aceviper Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Is your visibility range set to low in options?

aceviper Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I posted about a low polygon square Mps 410 on the Su25t before...vis range set to low caused it....try changing it.
NoJoe Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I posted about a low polygon square Mps 410 on the Su25t before...vis range set to low caused it....try changing it. I second this; I had a similar problem with the R-27s and it turned out I had the vis range set to low. Bump it up to Medium at least; that might fix it.

lunaticfringe Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 I don't know what was going on, but it was indeed the visual range. Although, I'd already had it set at medium, I bumped it up to high, then back to medium, and they worked again. Which perhaps I might ought not have bothered, as, having fixed that last evening, the laptop I was having difficulty with it on effectively ate its motherboard around 2AM this morning. Better to have it happen now, rather than after sale, but frustrating nonetheless. I'll check it again once the replacement FRU is in hand on Thursday and report to confirm this the definitive solution. And then get the thing promptly listed for sale so I can make with the ordering of real parts. :)
