We identified two main sources for this issue some ships (Tarawa lights for some, Neustrashimy...) and sunset/sunrise. Yes this sounds like mine, it was on sunrise. @silverdevilI can't open your link, it's done YouTube studio link Windows 11 Pro 64Bit - AMD Ryzen 5800X3D - AMD 6900 XT - 64 GB RAM VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Throttle, VPC WarBRD Base, VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 By the way, this bug is really hard to tackle for devs because tracks don't always reproduce the issue. So if you can record this issue in a track and reproduce it on purpose when youreplay the track, please attach it here. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

silverdevil Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 good news is it did not happen. bad news is i was unable to reproduce the issue. Syria (west of Beirut) Altitude 24760 Time of day was just before sunrise. which was 0527 local time. June 21, 2016. did a couple of resets 5 minutes earlier each time. variables untested. the video made was using "DCS 2.7.0.5118 Open Beta - 22.04.2021". i tested with current OB "DCS 2.8.1.34667.2 Open Beta - 23.12.2022" i tested with new cloud system (light clouds) which were introduced after the patch when the video was created the sunrise was magnificent. i leisurely made my way to Beirut International. made a perfect landing. taxied to parking lot. i forgot i had Red forces and they killed me with 12.7 mm. lol.

ED Team GORNYAK Posted January 10, 2023 ED Team Share Posted January 10, 2023 Guys. Videos are good, but without tracks, these videos are almost useless. A big request to attach short tracks. There will be a fix for this bug in the next patch. But I won't give up the tracks anyway, maybe we can catch something else. 1 [ YouTube | Twitch | VKPlay ] Сообщения о багах Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Many thanks, @Limaro. @GORNYAK Here's a fine track: in OB, it shows the biggest, longest black screen I've ever seen to date, and it's reproducible at will (as you know, most tracks would cause the bug every 10 or 20 replays, which is not ideal for devs). I tested the upcoming fix, and I could not reproduce the black screen issue. I feel optimistic. 2 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

On my end, the screen gets completely black, and it seems to happen because the camera briefly goes underwater, which, I guess, shoudln't be possible. See screenshot: I'll make a new report about this based on your track. Edited February 14, 2023 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Roosterfeet Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Happy to report that the black flashes at sunrise and sunset are gone in 2.8.3. I still get occasional random black flashes with mirrors enabled, usually around the boat, but it's rare enough that I can't reproduce it in a short track. 1 Ryzen 5 3600, Radeon RX 5600 XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
