Kujo Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Hello all. For a few months now, I have had this issue with my game where about 5/6ths of the display will randomly start to flash in and out. The most times it has happened is either in the F-16 or the F-86, but I think it could be with almost all aircraft. Here is a reference of what I'm describing: These are my settings (The resolution is currently 1366x768 due to the nature of my monitor, but changing it to 1080 does not solve the problem and flashing will continue): My current specifications are: - Intel Core i5 4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4GB (Video drivers up to date) - 16GB DDR4 RAM - SAMSUNG 1TB SSD (DCS Install Location) Edited June 17, 2021 by Kujo 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Never quit.

felafe Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Hello Kujo and Eagle Dynamics, i am having the same issues since the 2.7 Update as seen in the linked Video. Since now nothing worked for me to fix this. Hope to see any solution by ED soon. There a also some small black boxes in the sky. It happends to me on any map and with and Aircraft module. Every other sim i use runs fine without any problems or graphic issues. My current current specifications: - AMD 5600X at stock speed - Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB on 466.27 Driver - 32GB DDR4 at 3200 MHZ - DCS on a 500 GB M2 https://youtu.be/X4WUY1O5h5Y Best regards from Germany Edited June 18, 2021 by felafe SEEK, ATTACK, DESTROY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felafe Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hello, just a small update. After installing the latest Nvidia Drivers, the problem still exists. Also a repair and a reinstall did not change anything. Could i get any suggestions or advice from anyone ? Eagle Dynamics? i cannot use DCS for month now. cheers SEEK, ATTACK, DESTROY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfrag Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 This issue hits me in the Hind and some complex scenes with the Tawara (on-deck) in the Huey. This appears to be a performance/refresh item as these black flashes subsided when I scaled back visual quality by reducing resolution -ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me using just Full HD resolution its just not looking good without it and for me its not flyable. Its getting worse the higher the AA setting is. MSAA or SSAA it makes no difference for me. Its always with those flashes and boxes. And as u said. DCS is the only sim or Programm with this problem. SEEK, ATTACK, DESTROY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Please ensure NVIDIA lets DCS handle anti-aliasing on its own, like this: Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXsenna Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Don't know if it is the same. But I get "shutter effect" ("flashing" black screen), flying around Tbilisi Airport. Only happens on 2.7.xSent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Please try this: Go to C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Config\ Rename "options.lua" so DCS cannot find it ("options.lua_backup", for instance). Start DCS, set your graphics settings as wanted and try to reproduce the issue. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

I even tried to set settings to off or low one by one and lowered the GPU and CPU clock speeds with still the same results. My GPU and CPU temps are well in limit. I really dont know what else to try. 1 SEEK, ATTACK, DESTROY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Maybe this is caused by an external program. Ensure NVIDIA in-game overlay and NVIDIA share overlay are disabled: https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/how-to-disable-nvidia-overlay.html Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Flappie Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Many thanks. I don't see anything odd in the log. I can see your graphics driver is up-to-date as well. Can you please turn the "fullscreen" option off and see if you can reproduce the issue? Chances are it won't change anything, because Kujo had "fullscreen" off, but I'm curious.

Thank you Flappie, fullscreen off or on makes no difference. Tested also with Vsync on or off. Gives me the same results. 9 hours ago, BIGNEWY said: If you have track replays showing it happening please attach them. If you can reproduce in short tracks this would be optimal thanks Hey BIGNEWY, i could attach a trackfile later if you like. But basically it starts as soon as DCS is loaded as you can see in my Video attached in my post above. There i not any moment it does not happening and flashing or showing the black boxes.

felafe Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hello everyone, i finally found a solution for the Problem. Lowering the GPU Memory Clock for around 400 Mhz solved the issue for me. No other Sim or Game with high GPU demand has those issues. At least i can enjoy DCS World now. Best regards 1 SEEK, ATTACK, DESTROY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
