DX10 ATI Problems [opengl] - fogmaster - 24.08.2009

I am posting this as a possible solution to those who are having problems with their DX10 ATI Cards.

I upgraded from a NVIDIA 9800GTX to a ATI 4890, thinking it would be miles ahead in terms of performance, but I was greeted to some artifacts particularly when I was being fired upon and looking back. I wrote it off as a bad card and RMA'd my card to newegg, waiting for the new card to arrive, I was sure this would fix the problem. To my Dismay, when the new card arrived, it was having the same exact problem as the old one...

Examples:

I had tried everything imaginable, from turning off the NV variables in the conf.ini file to tweaking every setting in the catalyst control panel... Nothing was working.

I then realized when I turned mods off... the problem disappeared. I had also noticed this problem primarily happening when I was looking at flak explosions. Thinking brashly, I searched for all files containing the word "flak" in the mods folder and deleted all of the files.

Like magic the problem went away.

I hope this helps some people.

...switched from nvidia to ati ? m8 did u clean/deleted the nvidia drivers completely from ur pc, cos thats a common thing what card switchers tend to forget.

I cleaned out the old drivers, and yes I am using that mod.

Sure? Look in your Program files folder, if not use a driver sweeper.

Hi all

I have the same problem, but only with FLAK fire. Not with dogfights. And I only have the problem with certain angles, and in the pit no problems.

I have a new rig and installed IL2 UI 1.1.1 and the HG&P mod, so undeleted drivers are not the problem.

Argh!!! I have the (somewhat) limited release HD4770 and I have the exact same problem with visual artifacts! Since the first sampe I bought was defective I thought that maybe the second one had a glitch that only appears in Il-2 opengl mode, but I notice this happens to me only with mods and during heavy flak - most notably around ship flak barriers.

:???:

I hope someone can fix this. HG and P's effects mod is great and I don't want to remove it, but this artifacts are horrible, they always appear when there is a lot of flak and they're also visible on replays. Sad

EDIT: This is not a driver-related issue! I've tested three versions of Catalyst drivers, with different settings. All produce the same result with flak mods installed.

[quote= Graphic bug disappears for me when "USSR_85mm" folder is disabled. I have only put a minus in front of folder name. Look in MODS\00_AAA_August_20_2009_Effects_Platinum_Special_Edition\Effects\Explodes\Air\Zenitka. I could enjoy this fantastic mod while experts (HG&Potenz, thanks in advance) try to fix it. I hope this works for you. Ciao[/quote]

Hi all!!! This works for me.

Hi guy's I had the same problem, although not as severe as this one. I've adjusted a couple of lines in config.ini file. Mos t effect was Harwareshaders=0 in stead of 1.
But reading about Potenz & Holy Grail mod makes me unsure if this was the only thing that changed.
