BuzZoo Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Gunsight disappears now? Just had this happen in Burning Skies. Gunsight disappeared and couldn't turn it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounder Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) A friend and I had this too after the update yesterday, also on Burning Skies. Neither of us had taken any damage and initially we tried landing and repairing, however we couldn't initiate repair. However, my friend then deliberately over heated his engine on the ground to force the option of repair, which once completed, brought the gunsight back. We had this ‘bug’ every flight and couldn't figure out what was causing it. In the end we tried deleting (cut and paste files inside the folders to another location on my hard drive for backup in case it went went wrong etc) the files in the metashaders folders (saved games > DCS.openbeta > metashaders) and we have not experienced it since. It might have been coincidental but thought I post what we tried to help. If you do try the same (deleting the files within the metashaders folders), I'd advise backing them up just in case etc etc. [EDIT] deleting the contents of metashaders folders did not fix the bug - see below Edited June 9, 2019 by Bounder updated information My PC specs: Win10 64 Pro, CPU i7-3820 4.4GHz, 16GB RAM, GPU Nvidia 1070 (8gb vram).

-0303- Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Just had this happen in Burning Skies. Gunsight disappeared and couldn't turn it back on.Just happened to me as well. About 5 min after takeoff (Caucasus, Hoggit map). Interestingly it came back after doing repair. I just checked that "random failures" wasn't checked and came here to post: "gun sight disappearing".

I forgot that deleting metashaders every other update is generally a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounder Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Deleted fxo and metashaders2 Not a fix. Gun Sight disappeared again. 2 out of 2 takeoffs. Is there a reason you didn't delete contents of the folder "metashaders" in addition to "metashaders2"? Asking more for understanding reasons.

Bounder Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Here's a short video from last night showing the gunsight disappearing. This one occurred after going wheels down (~15 secs into the 27 sec video): Edit: added 2nd example Edited June 8, 2019 by Bounder My PC specs: Win10 64 Pro, CPU i7-3820 4.4GHz, 16GB RAM, GPU Nvidia 1070 (8gb vram).

mkiii Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Seems OK here. What do you mean by disappears? This is implying that it comes on for a while, then goes off. Have you checked that the switch is in the ON position after it goes off? If it goes to the off position, then it sounds like it may be assigned to a control that you are unaware of. [EDIT] It started happening to me too last update, and is still happening in latest Beta (21/06/19) Edited June 21, 2019 by mkiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking more for understanding reasons. Because I'm a retard. I didn't read up carefully enough on fxo & metashaders and only deleted "fxo" & "metashaders2" under "Saved Games". I think it's fixed now after deleting three folders: C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\fxo C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\metashaders2 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\shaders\metashadersAlso did C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin>DCS_updater.exe cleanup C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin>DCS_updater.exe repair which I don't know if it was necessary. Cleanup and Repair. Note, it's Open Beta even if folder name doesn't say so. ~ EDIT/ADD: No, it is not a fix. Gun sight disappeared again.

Bounder Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Flew again tonight, bug is back. Clearing out metashader files seemed to work initially but it is not a fix. I've tried to attach track files, [edit] but all my track files so far exceed the file size limit for upload to the forums Edited June 9, 2019 by Bounder My PC specs: Win10 64 Pro, CPU i7-3820 4.4GHz, 16GB RAM, GPU Nvidia 1070 (8gb vram).
