I have set it to the lowest setting

Try to put "Dynamic Resolution Factor" to "FULL". This will in fact disable the feature and then you'll not experience resolution variance anymore. 

EDIT: to compensate for times where the GPU may be under pressure, try to keep your framerate locked to something affordable. In my case, GTX1080, I lock the refresh rate on 60Hz (although I have a 144Hz monitor and the GPU can hover about 80 or 90 most of the time, by locking it at 60 I leave enough "free room" for when things get really busy, and I'll never feel any stutter or need to get lower resolution to maintain performance).

May I ask you to tell us, if you fly in VR or if you run your game on a flat-screen? Thanks.

 

I use a 32" flat screen

OK - there is something completely wrong in your configuration file. I'll show you what I mean:

 

[KEY = graphics]
    3dhud = 0
    adapter = 0
    bloom_enable = 1
    canopy_ref = 0
    desktop_center = 1
    detail_rt_res = 1024
    draw_distance = 1.00000
    far_blocks = 0
    fps_counter = 0
    fps_limit = 60
    full_height = 768
    full_width = 1280
    fullscreen = 0
    gamma = 0.80000
    grass_distance = 100.00000
    hdr_enable = 1
    land_anisotropy = 0
    land_detail = 1
    land_tex_lods = 1
    max_cache_res = 1
    max_clouds_quality = 2
    mgpu_compatible = 0
    mirrors = 2
    msaa = 0
    multisampling = 2
    or_ca = 0.00000
    or_enable = 0
    post_sharpen = 0
    preset = 3
    prop_blur_max_rpm_for_vr = 155
    rescale_target = 1.00000
    shadows_quality = 2
    ssao_enable = 1
    vsync = 0
    win_height = 2160
    win_width = 3840
[END]

 

Make sure your resolution is set correctly! Assuming you are running a native resolution of 3840 x 2160, so make sure to have both

entries in your configuration file.

[JG1_Jaus]

Hmm, that is strange.   Here are my graphics settings.   They show  3840 x 2160.

 

Do I need to change the startup.cfg manually?

[-DED-Rapidus]

@JG1_Jaus,Target FPS should be turned off.

Ok, but that shouldn't affect the screen resolution in the startup.cfg, should it?   I'm still not sure what to do about that.

 

 

 

 

 

[[Pb]Bones18]

I don't think anything is wrong with what you have if I'm correct.  One resolution is for when full screen is checked, and the other resolution is for when full screen is unchecked and you're running it in a window.

Well, if I were you, I certainly would modify my file to sort out the problem - just do it and see what happens, when you run your game.

And if you have any mods, then remove them before you start another test. You need to have a clean game to work correctly first,

then you eventually can use mods again. Thank you.

I did a complete re-install a couple of days ago just to get rid of any mods.   There are none running now.

 

I have attached a track of the graphic problem.    Track was taken at takeoff in the "Airfield Attack" BoS mission.

OK, I downloaded your track and replayed it on my rig on both installation I have, which is a Steam version AND a standalone version I use for running mods.

On both installations your track works flawlessly - their is NO glitch in your track.

 

So, we need to encircle your problem. What GPU are you running - is it an AMD or is it a NVIDIA? I've got an NVIDIA and use the driver version 457.09 (I know,

it's not the newest one, but quite recent). In the NVIDIA Control Panel, I created a profile for IL2 GB but only changed the power management mode and set

it to "Prefer Maximum Performance" - that's all. Everything else is managed by "Application controlled", so no altering any settings, no pushing to the limit.

GPU is not overclocked (GTX 970 with 4GB VRAM).

 

So, assuming you are using an NVIDIA card, I suggest to do the following:

1. Reset all your values to default in your NVIDIA Control Panel, except for the power management mode I mentioned above

2. Make sure, your startup.cfg file does not have any weird resolutions stored

3. Launch your game and see what happens.

[JG1_Jaus]

Interesting.   I set the 'full' resolution to 2160x3840 manually in startup.cfg and did a reset of the NVIDIA settings for IL2 and re-played my track.   No glitch when I view it now.   Hopefully this will persist in real missions.   I had set the NVIDIA control to improve spotting of aircraft so it will be interesting to see how this is affected.   Thanks for the help.

I'd be careful with those NVIDIA Control Panel settings, because they might counteract with the settings options you have in the game's graphic settings. Especially,

if you want to improve your spotting, it is better to use the options the game is offering.

 

A well known and quite common option to improve spotting is to set the "Landscape filter" = "Blurred". With this option you will be able to spot moving airplanes better,

because they distinguish better in the foreground of the environment without popping out too much and unnaturally - it's like in real life when you focus your eyes on

a certain object.

[JG1_Jaus]

Well, I fired up the same "Airfield Strike' mission again and I'm sad to say the same exact problem was evident..... tried restarting the mission with no change.  Then exited and restarted IL2 and went back to the same mission.   This time two missions in a row no graphic anomaly.   This is the pattern I've seen from the start.     It still seems to me like something is, intermittently, not going right with the initial load of the game.    The problem is either present for any missions run in that instance of the game, or not present for missions in that instance..

 

No changes were made to NVIDIA setting since reset, and he resolution in startup was still set to 2160x3840 consistently.

[[Pb]Bones18]

Just happened to me in my tempest career.  Attached is a track.

Tracks.rar

[JG1_Jaus]

I think I've identified a pattern.   The graphic problem which was intermittent in FC, seems to be pretty constant in BoS.    What I have noticed is that, in either module, if I load a mission and the glitch occurs, I can shut down the game then restart and the problem is gone.    I just did this with a track I recorded of the problem.    Recorded the track, played it back and saw the problem.   Shut down and re-started the game and the track now looks normal (mission looks normal too, BoS "Airfield Strike")

 

So far this seems to be a pretty consistent pattern.

 

The funny thing is that I had a similar problem in Rise of Flight.    I never saw a graphic problem, but the game did start crashing after a few months  when attempting to load the first mission after starting the game   Re-start the game and the missions load normally.

 

I don't really remember for sure, but the RoF problem may have started right around the time I upgraded from GTX970 to 1080ti.

Guys, I'm sorry, but I've already lost the essence of what your problems are, you can clearly and clearly describe who has what and how "ripples" or buggy, you need to be as detailed as possible.

My problems are illustrated by the images in my Dec 24th and 26th posts on p.13 of this thread.

 

There are two levels of terrain, the bottom (hard) layer, and a layer above with some of the terrain features including perhaps buildings trees or ground representation.   Makes any low level activity (e.g.  landing) virtually impossible.

 

I have also posted a recording of the issue (p. 14 Dec 29th), but that apparently does not display the issue if you don't already have it.

Edited January 12, 2021 by JG1_Jaus

[JG1_Jaus]

Here are a few more screenshots of what I see on a typical flight from a new instance of the game.    Problem still disappears if I restart the game.

These show the aircraft flying right at the level of the upper (fake) terrain representation.   The hard ground would be under the light blue deadspace.

Has anyone seen this sort of artifact before? It only occurs momentarily in the cockpit but not in external view.

 

I suspect it has to do with me overclocking my GPU too much or when the GPU gets too hot. If not, what settings do you (anyone familiar with this issue) use to avoid these momentary "Hand of God" appearances? ?

[-DED-Rapidus]

@widget, the phenomenon is rare, it was not possible to repeat it. what kind of mods did you have?

[rowdyb00t]

@widget
 

Do you have an external screenshot?

 

 

 @-DED-Rapidus

 

   Looks like it’s the standing pilot thing. 
I’ve noticed this in the JU88 before. If you move your head position to an area outside I guess “the box” or far right/left, you can see the pilot model. This happened to me once and it was from the pilot in cockpit mod which corrupted the bot files. I had to unGTP the files from the newest version of the game to fix this. Just thought I’d chip in on this. 

 

[widget]

@-DED-Rapidus

Sorry for my slow reply. Forgot to switch on the alert for replies. I've attached the list of installed mods.

 

@rowdyb00t

I didn't take an external screen shot at the time. But I don't see any pilot model at any time when in external view mode. Before I started using VR, the "Hand of God" artifact also appeared in the normal non-VR view. 

[-DED-Rapidus]

@widget, try it on a "clean" installation without mods.

[LLv34_Wmaker]

Started recently getting that earlier common d3d-error while running Geforce GTX 1060 6gb with the 456.71 drivers. It still seems to be a problem even with the later than 7xx-series era drivers and cards?

Removed the mods and the artifact was still there.

 

Before reinstalling the whole program, I wondered if the GPU was getting too hot even though the reported 72C is still below the 80C+ spec. After I opened the case and pointed a fan at it, the artifact disappeared. So it looks like my issue was caused by a hot GPU. A cleaner fix was change to a higher rpm rear case fan. This seems to have fixed things.

I got exactly the same error messages together with a screen freeze. In my case, I eventually discovered the GPU was too hot even though the 72C temp was well below the 80C+ spec. I changed my rear case fan to a higher rpm version and it seems to have worked. I could have cut the GPU overclock frequencies instead. But that reduced my VR fps more than what I wanted.

Thanks for the info! I have noticed that the default fan profile of the GTX 1060 seems to try to keep the card as quiet as possible and therefore the temps can get over 70c. I'm using MSI Afterburner with custom fan profile which keeps the temp in the low to mid 50's so temps shouldn't be a problem.

Hey guys!

 

I got the game for Christmas but for some reason it runs sluggish as if the frame rate is chugging. I am 90% positive it is not because my computer is not powerful enough but maybe its because of the operating system I am using. 

 

Here are my specs

Dell Motherboard

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750 CPU 

16 GB Ram

2070 RTX Max-Q Design

Windows 10

 

The graphic settings I had running in my game is just whatever was given to me by default and also whenever I am cockpit mode a very small black bar appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. This bar flickers and moves as if it is a liquid but stays within its defined rectangle. If anybody can help me out that would be great. I also bought the game off Steam.

[Vlad36]

There is this black bar at the bottom of the screen and whenever I move in cockpit move the pixels in that bar shift but never leave the defined space. I am also not sure if you are able to see the numbers at the top right but that do those signify? I also checked my default graphics settings and I am running on high but for some reason the game runs sluggishly. 

[-DED-Rapidus]

@Vlad36, great, please take another screenshot of the graphics settings in the game.

[Vlad36]

This is the default graphics setting that was given to me by the game when I first installed.

Hi, have just purchased IL-2 battle of stalingrad and I can't get it to work in full screen, windowed works ok. I've attached a screenshot of what happens in full screen. Have also updated my graphics drivers etc but no change. Have set the resolution to the same as my desktop and no change.

 

any help would be appreciated

 

My pc is running windows 7 - 64bit

graphics card nvidia geforce GTX950

@Pitchfork, Take a screenshot of the graphics settings in the game please in windowed mode.

Windows LTSC, NVIDIA 2080ti, latest driver. i7 9700K, 64GB RAM.

 

I have occasional stuttering events; IL2 runs fine, and then after a few minutes really slow, only for a while,

and then all of a sudden it's normal again.

Only with a few missions, and i think it's with Rheinland map home made mission stuff only.

 

Other programs running at the same time work fine, and opening taskmanager while stuttering it looks like the i7s core 4 is far too busy.

Can this be due a windows setting?

 

It was with 4.506, and now in 4.601 it seems worse.

 

Also i begin to think it's mission programming related, starts f.i. suddenly during a dog fight over Antwerp. But i experienced it with another Rheinland mission too.

Attached mission is home made, and adapted partly with imported groups, as target practice stuff.

 

Thanks for looking .... PS i will post here if i find out more.

 

ADDED 1: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/283079/major-stuttering-with-all-games-rtx-2080/

 

ADDED 2: Been running a pretty intensive mission on the Kuban map, with no stutter problems  ..

 

ADDED 3:  I think it was a mission configuration error; been grouping a lot, and eliminating some un needed good for nothing stuff ....

MAYBE also it had to to with triggered trains and the new Antwerp railways, reconfigured that part. Seems fixed now.

Have any one noticed very poot anti aliasing in the cockpit of the new spitfire? Maninly shadows, they are very pixalated.

Can it be Nvidia drivers? I have RTX2080TI.
I do not have such issues with other cockpits.
Also, I have noticed that the landscape around the plane when taxing and take off is very poor.
Any chance one of the latest updates did a graphics option reset? I did not play for about couple of months.
Also, a little bit late and offtopic, but do I also need to turn on the new land physics? The one that was introduced couple of updates before. When taxing I do not feel any difference than playing last year.
