ikonane Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I've got the same problem for a couple of weeks. I have a three monitor setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japo32 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Same problem 3 screens. Put 1screen in options fix it but I have to put *3 in rendering. If I want to preserve the menus in the central screen as I always did, then the keys disappear.

Red_Donkey Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 monitors. Full Screen OFF. Same problem as you guys. Switching between settings, everytime I need to rebind something. Luckily that's not often. Should be an easy fix, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakoz Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 It is very repeatable for me. Here is my explanation of how I can make it happen and go away (in another topic). https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3624264&postcount=2 The key point is you have to be using multiple monitors _views_, not spanned mode. Multiple views comes when using the "3 screens" lua file, for example. If you switch to "1 screen", even if spanning over 3 monitors, then the problem goes away. You don't have to enable nVidia Surround mode to span 3 monitors using "1 screen". DCS will span across 3 monitors like it is in surround mode if you select "1 screen" and a resolution that encompasses all 3 monitors. But if you then select "3 screen", it switches to 3 camera views as determined by your monitors .lua file. It seems it is the multiple view mode that is the problem. I assume this occurs with 2 monitor, or other multi-view setups, but I only tested the "3 screens" mode. My 3 screens file is the default 3 screens lua provided by DCS. The text in the config menu is there. We just can't see it. I can select the column headings for example and I can see the text when it highlights the text (because you are allowed to change the controller name). The problem exits in the current OpenBeta Branch (as of today still). The problem does not exist in the release version (as of today still).

Japo32 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) In my case is worst. I discovered that yes.. putting one display the controls appears.... BUT it don't let me modify anything. Yes.. they catch the values of joystick and keyboard, but once I hit done, all is black and I have to quit the DCS with task manager. That is totally a problem because I need to modify controls before tomorrow!! Edit: The black screen comes because settings.lua in MissionEditor folder. I removed it and let generate other.. and now is working. BUT still I have the problem with the show controls (and let me modify them) with 3 screens). Don't know why a settings.lua would affect to put the black screen when modifying controls... but it does... and it didn't before.

Whozdär Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm sure they will fix it this week. They rolled out the bug into stable so they wouldn't do that if they didn't have the hotfix almost there and ready to roll. Just a bit more patience.

TWC_SLAG Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I created a support ticket with ED. They said the problem is not with them. Their updates don’t touch the User folder. All of us are wrong? How about everyone having this problem create a support ticket?

ron533 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I created a support ticket with ED. They said the problem is not with them. Their updates don’t touch the User folder. All of us are wrong? How about everyone having this problem create a support ticket? It is not in the user folder, it's in the monitors lua files under : \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup Constraining the GUI viewport to the center screen (on 3 monitors/surround configuration as Drakoz said earlier) causes this issue, which didn't happen before this release... ! so yes , ED did do something here... So my workaround for now is to change the GUI viewport resolution to be the SAME as the 3 monitors combined (now 6000x1200 for my screens with BC). Now I can see the controller menus back. you can also delete the GUI viewport parameters, so DCS will run on the "Center" screen parameters which is normally the sum of 3 monitors in multi monitors pc. Problem is now the GUI is spread across 3 screens which is highly uncomfortable. The splash screen when running DCS which is also spread across part of the 3 screens indicates this problem. I hope ED will solve it and fix it soon. Callsign SETUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Wow, glad I found this post. This happened to me today as well. I run triple screens using a custom 3 Monitor lua that is in my Saved Games folder. The first time I started the game today I got a message that it couldn't connect to the ED servers and would run offline. Then I got this error message that it was going to DISABLE ALL OF MY PRODUCTS THAT I PAID FOR! So, I Ended Task on DCS to stop that crap.. Not sure if that has anything to do with this.. I removed all my mods and ran Cleanup, Update, and Repair twice. Then I found this thread... Commenting out this line fixed it. Yes, my MonitorSetup lua file is in my Saved Games folder. --UIMainView = Viewports.Center Thanks! PS: I put in a ticket for this as well. ED responded that it is a bug, and will be fixed. S!

Doughboy Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I should really check the boards more often. I've had this problem for several weeks and have done all kinds of things up to and including a complete removal and fresh reinstall. I did need to do it anyway so I'm not too upset. I'll be glad when this issue is fixed though! Go Ugly Early! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainyday Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Just found this thread. Im still having this issue - how about others? I'm running 3 screen 5760x1080 setup. Keybindings or controllers not visible (unless hovering mouse over it) - everything just looks blank. But everything works same as before. Have not tried to assign/change any controls - but the Add Assignment Panel shows blank too. Help? Running the latest stable DCS World 2.5.

Drakoz Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 This was solved 3 Beta and 2 Stable updates ago. Beta Update: DCS 2.5.3.22176 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3636114&postcount=29 I believe this is the way they described the fix, which matches what people found in this thread (and other threads): Scale UI does not scale properly to UIMainView if not the Same Resolution as DCS Resolution - fixed. Stable Update: DCS 2.5.3.22176 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3638932&postcount=8 Double check you are running the most recent update. I have not tested the stable version as I only run the Open Beta, but the latest Stable release supposedly brought the Stable version up to match the Beta. There may be a corner case where it still happens, but I haven't seen it. Which monitor (LUA) config are you using? There is still another issue where drop down menus show up on the left monitor (for me on a 3 monitor config using the default 3 monitor LUA file). This is not directly related to the original problem discussed here, but I mention it because multi-monitor stuff is often broken in new releases. I don't think the ED team does much testing with multi-monitors, so if you have done anything uncommon with 3 monitors (like a custom monitors LUA script), it is possible you have found another variation of the issue.

rainyday Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Double check you are running the most recent update. I feel bit ashamed - but it looks I was behind updates. I was so used to DCS World offering updates by itself during startup that I thought I was up to date. Maybe something got messed up once I moved my installation folder to an SSD, not sure. I'll get back to this if it still occurs after the update - but I doubt it. Many thanks for your help.
