Jaus Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I decided to give BoS a try while it's on sale. It has given me the opportunity to finally get a shot of the kind of graphic glitch I've been talking about in FC. In the attached shot the layer of green that runs through the gunsight is actually above the plane. From above it appears as normal terrain, until you try to land. The light blue is graphic dead space, and the real terrain is the green layer below the gunsight. A moment before this I had flown directly into trees that appeared to have tops above me, but flew right through them. Ever seen this before? This is actually worse than what I've seen in FC. Is there a cure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 That's really strange. I've never seen that before, honestly. Have you updated your graphics card?

Klaiber Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 It looks like the tester who responded on the IL-2 boards isn't sure either. But interestingly, someone posted right after you with a similar problem. And they're running an NVIDIA card too. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30090-nvidia-graphics-issues-post-here/page/13/?tab=comments#comment-1040443 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razwald Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I recall seeing something weird like that when I was using that mod for VR zoom. Every time there was an update it messed with that mod. If you have used mods in that past I would check your mod install folder or JSMGE to see if there is something there that is no longer supported or needs an update. What about shaders.

Jaus Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 hmmm, I was using Reshade, but deleted the files (the ones I could find). a week or so ago when I stopped using it. Maybe a complete re-install is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I remember when the whole MiGoto mod cheat fiasco came up and Reshade was outlawed on some servers, I wasn't able to get rid of everything (I had also used SweetFX and some other shader thingy as I recall). I did wind up doing a reinstall. That's why I'm now really leery of shader programs. (I also spent way too much time tweaking with the bottom line of deciding that the base graphics are just fine).

Klaiber Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 @Jaus, have you had any luck with this glitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaus Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I did a re-install just to clear out any residue of Reshade, but no change. Just an hour ago I followed advice from another poster who had viewed a track I uploaded and said it looked normal to him. He advised manually setting the "full" and "win" resolutions in my startup config to 2160x3840 which I did (not sure what they really mean...). Also advised setting all NVIDIA control panel settings for IL2.exe to defaults. I did both and viewed the the track I had posted and did not see the problem. Also tried the mission again and did not see the issue. keeping fingers crossed. The other aspect of this change is what it will do to spotting as I had set my NVIDIA settings to maximize that (not that it did a whole lot of good) Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'm glad you've gotten some type of resolution (no pun intended). Even if it's a temporary fix. Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaus Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Well, the problem didn't go away. I have perhaps identified a pattern. Here is my post from the IL2GB tech forum : Quote I think I've identified a pattern. The graphic problem which was intermittent in FC, seems to be pretty constant in BoS. What I have noticed is that, in either module, if I load a mission and the glitch occurs, I can shut down the game then restart and the problem is gone. I just did this with a track I recorded of the problem. Recorded the track, played it back and saw the problem. Shut down and re-started the game and the track now looks normal (mission looks normal too, BoS "Airfield Strike") So far this seems to be a pretty consistent pattern. The funny thing is that I had a similar problem in Rise of Flight. I never saw a graphic problem, but the game did start crashing after a few months when attempting to load the first mission after starting the game Re-start the game and the missions load normally. I don't really remember for sure, but the RoF problem may have started right around the time I upgraded from GTX970 to 1080ti.

Klaiber Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Geez, Jaus. I'm really sorry to hear that you're still fighting with this glitch. I really hope that they'll be able to give you some sort of solution. To have to shut the game down completely each time it happens is completely unacceptable.

It may have been around that time i started noticing the problem. Probably just a coincicence. I have been using the setting I posted above for a month or so now with little improvement. I have switched on MSAA vs FSAA and unchecked SSAO, HDR, and Sharpen. We'll see if that limited change helps. I also experience a crash in RoF evertime I start a mission. I have to restart and then everything is ok, just like in IL2-GB. I have a suspicion some important component is not being loaded on my computer and IL2 just handles it a little better.

Jaus, Are you running the GPU fans at 100% while in game? S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaus Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I don't know how to tell what the fan speed is. I'm pretty confident that this is not heat related. The problem usually occurs when I first turn the computer on and start the geme. Once I restart the game (during the same computer boot) I have no more problems no matter how long I leave the computer on or play the game.
