Video Corruption and Related Card Issues

Last night i got a BSOD while flying the nav tutorial. Ill post those numbers if interested. But what i got after reboot was a windows black screen. Telling me a system software file was corrupt. Install system disk and re-install W7.... tried restarting but no luck. Same message.

As soon as i restore from my backup and reinstall windows ill post result.

My question is,

what file/s would you guys like to see from windows and or dcs after my re-install?

Is it due to it being a beta that parts of the cockpit are very low textured ?

I have a good vid card (HD5830) and all the settings are at high.

 

Parts of the cockpit (front dash and control display unit amongst others) are very detailed.

 

The radio's on the left console however are very badly textured no matter my display settings. The caution lights on the right panel are so bad i can't even read the cautions they display.

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)

2- AMD X2 +6400 (3,2 GHz)

3- 4G ram

4- Nvidia 8800 GT, 512 MB

5- 1280 X 960

I also have the texture flickering, textures near structures, both theaters:

Also some flickering yellow lines: possible because of textures:

And also the shadow problem of the flying A-10 mentioned in earlier posts. (shadow above ground)

I got these weird shadow issues every time in engine startup mission,

I have included DXdiag and 2 screenies.

hello:), I'm getting exactly the same problem of Tulkas: if Texture is set to High (and other setting to mid-low) or even to Mid and other settings to mid-high I then got freezing and corrupted textures after the loading screen, exactly like in those screenshots.

I have about the same rig also:

E8500+4850-512mb+4GbRam+WinXP Sp3 32bit. Don't know if a memory size issue, as other users seem to not have similar problem with other 512mb vid card.

At 1900*1200 I get 15-20 fps at ground and 30-40 in the air.

Another issue is that AA filter seem to be not applied no matter which value is set in the option menu. Driver is 9.8, with "application" on AA setting.

cheers

ATI catalyst problem

Maybe I have missed something but looking through the posts it appears that there is a Catalyst/a10c compatibility issue. High spec Nvidia cards appear to be OK.

BETA game performance thread : a simple test I carried out. A mate with a GTX285 was getting twice the FPS that I had.

No nvidia vs ATI posts please. Seen em all before.

I know its a beta and is still in optimisation but thought I'd bring it up in case it hasn't been noticed or someone has a workaround.

alexiao73... to get AA working you need to set it to "application preference" in ATI Catalyst 3D settings

EDIT: DoH, I see now you've already done that

What setting I have to pull down?

I´m using a 4830(sapphire) and its running fine on high. No Graphical glitches so far except the black flickering at the edge of visibilty.

Ditto...

My GTX 260 is running very hot - 81C

Getting hardware crash due to suspected overheating. (solid colour nvidia crash)

I have a well ventilated system with many fans. I'm gonna look at a 3rd party cooling system for my card... as after 5 mins or so it crashes.

I had the same problem, but switching everything to application controlled, and (more importantly) everything else (Mipmap Detail etc.) to quality instead of performace fixed it for me.

Hope it helps!

At first, my system:

AMD Athlon 3500+ (2,2GHz)

2GB RAM (800MHz)

ATI Radeon HD 4870

WinXP 32Bit

I have the following issue:

I have this issue only, if I'm flying in Nevada and only if I start at Nellis or if I'm closing to Nellis. In the Caucasus, all is fine.

After a few tests (all settings to the lowest), I would say the cause is MSAA. If MSAA is off, all is fine, independent on the other settings. But when MSAA is 2x or higher, I have this issue.

kind regards,

Fire

PS: Grafics driver is the newest.

sound like your fan is not spinning up to 100% a common problem with the NVIDIA cards down load a progy that will let you set your fans at 100% like

This is happening to a few people but nobody has helped us yet with more info, can you help?

 

What I would like you to do is delete everything in the Temp folder in the main DCS folder. Then start a mission and fly around for a bit, then exit. Go to the temp folder and zip the contents and attached them to your next post.

 

Thanks

Nate, some good news, I have accidentally bypassed the double pause problem by doing the following:

- I disabled FFB @ producers.cfg

- I calibrated yaw/pitch axis out of default for X52 (no PRO) and Saitek peddals

I'll try to reproduce the problem to better define what action solved it.

It seems to relate with input controls ! I hope this will speed up troobleshooting proccess !

hi, can you tell me your 3d setting in ati panel and all the graphic settings in dcs.a10 video options? I have the same rig as Tulkas and the same identical error situation when set Texture to MAX. How much ram in your 4830?

Set MSAA to off like VJS161_Fire didn't solve...:(

thanks

@alexio73

I also have a 512 MB 4830 and tested it with almost all combinations of AA on high @ 1980* with the 10.9 64 bit catalyst driver

-Catalyst AI off

-antialiasing applicationset

-adaptive antialiasing off

-anisotropic application set

-Mipmap quality 2nd from the right towards performance

-Vsync off unless application specifies

In DCS:

Shadows low

water low

scenery high

texture high

at the moment all AA options off and a resolution of 1680 1050

Runs very well together with my 6000+ and 4 gigs on win 7 64

Holy crap... i don't think my fan has ever spun up to 100%.. going by the noise!!! :surprise:

Now running at 64C after 10 mins.. no crash!

I :love: you!

Disable Crossfire on the 5970 and see if that has an impact on FPS.

I would if I could but there is no option to do so in Catalyst Control Centre as when you have a seperate card installed (i.e. 2 in crossfire).

There is a disable Catalyst A.I. option but that does NOT disable a GPU core.

I also notice that single GPU ATI systems (e.g. HD 5870) are having FPS problems too. Dont necessarily think its a crossfire problem.

It would however be nice to rule it out so if someone knows how to disable a single GPU on HD5970 then please share and I shall test.

I mentioned this earlier in the beta forum. My friend has almost the same system specs as I do, except he is running a geforce 470. I'm on a hd5830 and he has about double my average frame rate. I think it's a combination of slightly better optimization for nvidia at this point, drivers, and the fact that ati and nvidia approach rendering different on a hardware level.

Once a few optimizations are applied and maybe a new release of catalyst drivers will help the ati cards. I plan to switch to nvidia by the end of the year though.

I also notice that single GPU ATI systems (e.g. HD 5870) are having FPS problems too.

Hello, i've got a single card ATI 5850 1Go DDR5 (VaporX) and same problem here => in high or low settings, have near 15FPS with the "trainning mission" => "takeoff". Seems to be better without HDR but it doesn't improve very much (5fps).

No problem when taking off and fly above the sea (>=50FPS). Some FPS dropdown appears when look at the ground and it's very difficult to land with near 10fps.

anyone figured out the right mfcd flickering?? i know it was mentioned with ATI cards, but i have an EVGA. tried all sorts of nvidea control panel settings. marginal results at best.
