Blurry textures with version 4.007 [FIXED]

[6FG_Big_Al]

Hello friends,
unfortunately, some graphic problems have been appearing since today. I'm not sure where they come from, since both the internal and external textures are affected sometimes. I don't know if this is a pure AMD problem or if it also occurs with other graphics cards.

I first saw the bug when i was messing around in QMB with the Ju-87. It happend during the flight that both the interior and exterior blurred from one moment to the other and didn't changed again. Even a restart with a totally different aircraft didn't fixed it. Only a restart did.

I flew another QM where i fought 4 x Ju-87 and 4x Bf 109 E7 that blurred shortly after the start Like in this pictures:

Spoiler

Interestingly it didn't appeared on the Spitfire MK VB that i flew this QMB or my 3 wingman. I decided to test out another aircraft, this time the FW 190 were it also happend after the second restart of the QM:

Spoiler

Tbh I have no idea what is causing this. I tried different setups, but everything remained the same. Both MSAA and FXAA didn't had an impact and as you can see on my ingame specs the 4k textures were always enabled.

Spoiler

My specs are the following:

GPU RX 5700 XT (driver 20.5.1), CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 16 GB RAM, Win 10

 

I hope someone can help me or has an idea to solve this.

 

best wishes Rico

I also had this happen while watching a replay of a QMB mission with Stukas (4k default skins).

Hi, Rico,

 

I just started up a series of QMB missions, and did not see this issue.  Just to be thorough, I followed in your footsteps and used the Ju-87, and each FW-190 one after another.  No blurring appeared with any aircraft.  

 

I know this has come up in our discussion on the AMD troubleshooting thread, but for the sake of this new thread here are my specs:

 

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700

GPU: RX5700XT w/ driver version 20.5.1

RAM: 16GB

OS: Win 10

IL2 Installed on SSD

 

And my Graphics Settings:

 

Hope this can help!

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

Is this perhaps caused by the "Cinematic" option. I noticed that mine was selected after the latest update.

Thanks for the tip! It was indeed activated. Sadly it didn't changed the problem for me

[Ejolfur]

For my gtx1060 I could fix a problem like this* yesterday by installing the newest driver (446.14). But I guess 20.5.1 is already the newest for AMD, right? At least we know now that this problem isn't limited to AMD / Nvidia.

 

*a few planes had very blurred skin and cockpit textures.

  I got blurries once with a GF1080, latest drivers.

Spoiler

 

It was during online play yesteday in the P-40. The textures of the dashboars were only loading at low resolution upon spawn, and after some hits the damage decal updates also loaded the textures at low resolution. Exiting the mission to hangar screen showed the rotating P-40 with low res textures.

 

At that point the interface became unresponsive and stuck to the degree where I had to use that task manager to log off my windows session and log on again. Launching the game again and everything was fine.

 

I have settings maxed out at 1440p.

I have this occasionally for a brief moment when switching from different outside views back to the cockpit view. Then the Fw windscreen is a sunscreen like you show for a split second. I think it is also a texture loading issue. But this happened since several patches ago.

I think it's because of the dynamic resolution factor. This setting means that if the game cannot hold the 144FPS you've asked of it, it will degrade quality to still be able to run at 144. Try to disable it and see if it works.

[6FG_Big_Al]

I tried it Raven but it didn't worked. Same as before. That the game freezes when you klick to close the game is also happening to me. Luckily you guys wrote it already.

@Han @-DED-Rapidus i tagged you guys, just in case you didn't saw this thread. Do you have an idea? Is there anything that we can do to varify the problem to make it easier to fix it for you?

 I have some problems.

PS: I remembered something, end i think the STUKA is the problem. In last days i made couple skins for Stuka ,in viewer when you click on "refresh scene" then is "jumping" back to default skin,but with STUKA  is taking to long time , you can see some blur textures there....Try in game Viewer.

Same here, i had not this trouble before the last update ....and i have too suspicions about Stuka textures ....

I've been having the same problem...blurry textures in QMB missions as well as random lockups/crashes of the program, with no crashdump created. 

 

Only been doing missions against Stukas but I'll try against some IL-2s or something and see if anything is different.

Yes, something's not quite right with the Stuka textures.  I fly with about 12 other Stuka pilots and many of us are having the problem.  Custom skins revert to default and are very blurred.  In addition the instrument panel is fully blurred and many are also crashing when they try to exit sim.  And if you do make it out to the front page, your aircraft that you just flew that spins around is all blurred up.

I use an nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB with latest driver

[Guest deleted@210880]

I've had a crash after a mission against Stuka, and then when reviewing it. (Also noticed some fuzzyness of skins recently, but can't remember which. I don't expect perfection from my card and CPU so had put it down to my specification.)

Blurry textures problem isn't just planes. Ground textures are also suffering from this.

 

Ground appears blurred/very low resolution even close to you. Sometimes normal hires texture pops in when i zoom little bit but not allways.

Other people mentioned blurred ground in TS too.

Edit: This appeared in 4.007. Didn't have this issue before.

Version

[Stoopy]

Confirmed that when using the Stuka in a mission, you may get blurry textures or gauges and slow skin loading when switching to external view, but IL2.exe will DEFINITELY hang up when trying to exit.  Repeated a number of times with and without the Stuka in the same mission, and regardless of whether or not the plane you are flying is using 2K or 4K skins.

 

The attached ZIP file below has 6 missions, 2 with the Stuka in a fight of 4, with new 4K stock skins, and the other missions use the Bf110 (2K skin) or He111 (4K skin) replacing the Stukas.  You are flying either the P40 with 2K skin or Mig-3 with new 4K skin.  The missions without the Stuka behave well,  the 2 missions with the Stuka will cause an app hang on exit after flying the mission.

 

Additionally, you MAY encounter problems with the Mission Editor when trying to edit the last mission you flew before getting the app hang on exit.  I did not get this all the time, but frequently enough. as if the mission file was still locked by the IL2.exe app after having to kill it with task manager after a hung exit.

Just another verification...happened to me as well.  Stukas in the mission...about half-way through I got blurry textures.  Oddly enough, the external Stuka textures were fine...every other aircraft was blurry (including the cockpit of my LaGG).  Also hung on exit.

[Arsebiscuits]

Hello,

Im having this as well ,typhoon, stuka, spit etc. blurred outside ,and sometimes inside,very strange.

I have a Nvidia 2060 RTX .card

Game also crashes on exit,have to end task it.

[Charlo-VRde]

Blurry cockpit happened to me this evening flying in a Spitfire Mk.VВ in a Quick mission.  I think the only other birds in that mission were an IL-2 and 109s

[-DED-Rapidus]

Fixed.

[Barnes62]

Hi,

 

I would just to confirm that this is fixed in the next version after 4.007?

I just updated to 4.007 and am still seeing this issue, especially in the cockpit of the Ju88.

 

Thanks

 

Edit - Sorry - Just realized that v4.007 was released back on June 9 (haven't flown for a while), so looks like fix will be in the next version.

Guys,

 

Still seeing this problem with v4.008.

After changing views several times, cockpit instruments become blurry. I notice this mostly in the Ju88.

Once this happens, IL-2 freezes when I attempt to close the program normally, and then I have to use Task Manager to end the process.

@Barnes62, what skin did the plane have? 2K or 4K skins?

I was using a 4K custom skin for the plane at the time, so after you asked I tried some of the default skins and found that I had no problems at all.

 

After some further investigation, It turns out that I had tweaked some 3rd party 4K skins to my own liking and while saving them, I used a compression setting that IL-2 doesn't seem to like (a setting that I use for DCS World Aircraft). I have now re-saved them with DXT5 format, and all is well.

 

It was user error...

 

Thanks for your help.
