fixed Screen flickering since 2.5.4

For me it is in the modules:

Gazelle,Mig21,Mig15,Su25T and Su33, not in others,

in Nevada, Caucasus and Golf-map.:joystick:

I was flying around in the Mustang for about an hour with no problem - I jumped into the Mig-21 and within a minute it happened.

awesome, I am at work for the rest of the day, so looking forward to your update. Thank you! :thumbup:

Sadly, its still happening, nothing changed. Unplayable for me.

Thanks for checking guys, I will pass along any new info to the team to help resolve.

Finally, thank you NineLine.

I see 2.5.4 the most defective beta in history, annoying flicker of the picture takes too long time.

It's odd, but I am not seeing it, only tried the MiG-21 so far, but not seeing the flashing, can you guys share a screenshot of your settings, and any other info so I can try and duplicate it. Also, have you tried deleting your metashader2 and fxo folders to make sure you have clean refreshed shaders.

It only happens when water is set to High and when you are out over the ocean.

it happens very often in the hornet

i have deleted the shaders and fxo folders during my use of 2.5.4 and there was no change.

It happens rarely when using a monitor and much more frequently while in VR. Also, it alternates eyes when in VR as well, could be right or left but never both.

I just deleted both metashader folders, + fxo and it's happened on vr and monitor nineline, the settings are attached. If I drop water to medium and loose the screen space reflections on the water (which makes it look like crap) it fixes the issue,

If I leave them as it is here then I get an intermittent flicker on the monitor when in normal and left eye mostly in vr though at times the right does flicker as well.

It is almost as if a draw call is taking too long but I've not actually sat and looked at the Frame Times yet to see if that is actually the case (About to now)

It only happens when water is set to High and when you are out over the ocean.

Sadly, for me also on land and with water on medium/low, as stated before.

The other one is maybe Nineline it's driver related? I don't know what your on but i'm running

Nvidia GTX 2070, Driver version is 417.35

Land or water. Not limited to MiG-21bis.

Haven't tried the new patch yet.

Running the latest nvidia 417.71 display drivers and I haven't seen this happen at all in the OB update today, was flying in the PG map for quite some time.

Updated nvidia driver as well 417.71 and it happens anyway.

Over water and land

I am running the same driver, about to update to the newest one.

Same, otherwise i'm up to date, on the drivers.. Watching the frame times just now while i got the flicker there is nothing out of the ordinary compared to the rest of it.. (other then DCS only leveraging 50% gpu).

Can say this only started with 2.5.4 and that Rik (i think it was rik) had in the VR forums at least acknowledged he'd confirmed that it was happening in vr last release, but yeah i'm getting it in both vr and non vr.

I just tried your exact settings, no issue here, I will try in VR shortly as well.

 

All drivers are updated?

I need to update my driver (only one version behind though). I will give it a shot when I get home.

Ive tried 4 different AMD drivers so far.

Running the newest beta driver right now, 19.1.1

Also tried: 18.12.3; 18.12.2; 18.12.1

Ingame settings

Edit:

Also deleted those folders, its still happening to me.

Also tried it with water set to low, not working.

I am running the same driver, about to update to the newest one.

 

perhaps try a clean install of the new driver?

yes, this started the day of the 2.5.4 patch (the last one in december).

Try the Mig-21Bis again.

Enable the red cockpit lighting under the warning panel.

That's all it takes for me.

This is after today's update. (It's been happening since 2.5.4)

Non-VR (and luckily nowhere near as bad as others are experiencing) FXO and Metashaders deleted and rebuilt (shouldn't the updater be doing this automatically?). Running nVidia driver 417.71.

I've tried re-creating it (I thought it might happen at some specific angle to the sun or whatever) but I've had no success.

In my video 2 pages before

you can clearly see that it happens when the sun reflects in the cockpit glass

(for me atleast)

Fixed

Cleaned

Deleted FXO/meta2

No mods

Nvidia 417.71

Tried to return the old 399.24

Water low/med/high

The only thing that helps is the flat shadows in the cockpit!
