Developer Diary, Part 80

[Mikey]

I get same thing, nvidia card and my settings are aa controlled by application....its not pleasant seeing plane going into large pixels/jagginess and nothing i tried fixed this issue

[II/JG17KaC_Wolfe]

The jaggies have been there all along, nothing to do with the latest drivers. My guess is that it has something to do with transparency AA settings.

I have no clue if this is Nvidia exclusive either.

Thanks

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

the new GTX980's drivers allow for a new settings, called DSR have been testing it and it really gets rid of the jaggies.

And whats your fps with dsr on?

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

And whats your fps with dsr on?

above 50fps; but really can't tell, as NVIDIA drivers still not optimized for the GTX980, so it will only get better.

 

I'm running DSR @ 2.00 Native resolution; down sampling from 3620x2036 2.00X smoothing @ 33% back to 2560x1440 native

I don't think those screenshots aren't related to the jaggies problem people are talking about here though. They are talking about when aircraft get silhouetted against clouds they can almost disappear as the cloud appears to occlude view of parts of the aircraft even though the aircraft isn't in a cloud. Here is a quick couple of screenshots at the same point in time but at different angles showing it. Do you still have this issue using DSR?

Isn't DSR basically down sampling/super sampling? Won't it only improve aliasing where you are lacking the resolution to draw the object?

The aliasing in clouds occurs even when my monitor has plenty of pixels to work with so I don't think down sampling could solve this. Hopefully 777 can minimize the effect, but looking at other titles that use similar looking clouds it seems to be inherent to the way it works.

I'm even noticing whole aircraft disappear against clouds at certain angles. I'm running on a Radeon 7950, 1920*1200, and no forced AA or other driver settings (except triple buffering via RadeonPro - which cures stuttering).

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

yeep, just noticed it in DSR settings, so yea the jaggies are still there.

Pilots,

 

After today's server update all unlocks (modifications and skns) will be locked until the up-coming Friday update. That's for development purposes only, sorry for inconvenience.

[sallee]

But I'm a founder with a premium account which I paid for with money....I'm going to sue you for deprivation of mods and skins.

 

Ah...that feels better.

[Elbows]

I just got home from work and tried to log-in but got a "failure to connect to authentication server" message or some-such.  Is that a result of an update?  My internet is working fine.  Not a huge deal, just curious.

Good to know.  Cheers.

My apologies for a separate post on the weapons lock, didn't see this announcement.  Looking forward to Friday's update.

[senseispcc]

Error 10037 since the new (server) update today I cannot play the game because it use my old settings and say they are not permited?! Stupid error!

 

So I cannot play the game and I am not happy at all!

I just press "Restore setting from mission" in hangar after join the server and i can fly again.

[Agilepig]

I cannot access this game any server. What is the problem? I didn't touch anything in my client.

There's your answer Gomwolf.

Just click restore to default loadout configuration in the plane setup screen and it will work

Actually, all unlocks haven't been locked: early founder gift are available (20mm gondolas on F4 and rear gunner on IL-2).

I wonder what Friday update will bring!

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

The #10037 error Message seems to be server related.  I was able to grab a 109F in Syndicate, restore aircraft to server default, and spawn in.  Did the same thing on Eagles Nest and no dice, get booted with the #10037 message. 

 

This would explain why there are 45-50 guys in Syndicate and 0 in Eagles Nest.

 

EDIT:  maybe someone else can validate this.

I can fly on Eagles Nest but, of course, only on planes with default armaments (fieldmods are locked by master server).

Same here, it's because the mission parameters are including unlocks...  Like the Supply He-111s have 20mm Cannon.

Since we can't even DE-SELECT things, it's causing a problem.  Maybe a "Reset to Aircraft Defaults" instead of mission defaults is in order.

[BraveSirRobin]

Their unlockables plan is really going to screw up MP.

[SCG_Tzigy]

same here, tried everything

Eagles nest is updated with a new mission! But hou still MUST RESET THE DEFAULT LOADOUTS IN THE PLANE SETUP SCREEN. so many people are missing this step.

Falling Skies would be a very good name for a server.

[Gitano_Fraile]

I have a question. The ME out with the final version of the game or later

[senseispcc]

the easy way to get out of this 10037 error is in the QMB to chose another airfield and another plane without modifications fly  once then come back to your airfield of origin and aircraft of origin and all is OK now!

Guys, it was a joke, both question and answer

 

We'd have pretty hard discussions in two last Devs' diarys topics, so desided to throw some humor into the topic, that's just it..
