Terrain mesh messed up

[Alexander9822]

Recently I have been having problems where the objects on the map such as buildings are misplaced and you spawn on the airfield but the airfield is bellow the ground. see pics.

As you can see that the runway is transparent and in the distance you can see objects above the ground and the terrain floating.

 

I have reinstalled the game already but the problem still occurs. I read that this can happen if you have the map editor or mission editor open at the same time but I do have it open. I only run the game.

 

The thing is I haven't had this problem before, only recently.

 

Thanks - Alex.

The funny thing is is that it doesn't always happen. Sometimes it will be perfect but then next time I start the game it happens.

[Alexander9822]

I have tried a whole different range of graphic options like HDR on/off, Different Anti-Aliasing options to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

I remember someone had same issue and there was thread about it. Try searching the forum.

 

Edit: Never mind, this is thread I was thinking about

I saw that post but the there issue was never solved. That were I saw the post of making sure the editor and the game weren't running at the same time but in my case and in there's it is not.

Did you buy the game on steam?

Yes I did, I bought some of the addons on steam and some of them on the IL2 store.

[IckyATLAS]

I have the feeling that when IL2 is bought through steam there are more issues, but it can just be a coincidence.

[Alexander9822]

I bought the major modules through steam before I discovered you can buy it through the store and since then I buy everything through the online store now so all my collector planes (except for like 2) and my Tank Crew I have bought through the online store. I cannot justify rebuying everything through the online store just to test to see if my issue is fixed. I mainly play on Finnish pilots and the map they are using currently is Moscow so I do not know if it happens on other maps.

[Alexander9822]

I just verified that it happens in other maps aswell. Flew the Me262 in Prokhorovka and the same issue of the terrain floating. It almost seems as it is not aligned as when I was flying at about 5KM up I could see "grid squares" of lines where the terrain didn't line up and was floating.

[Alexander9822]

The issue happens more option with MSAA enabled but not always with it enabled.

Here is another screenshot of the issue.

Another screenshot showing the misaligned terrain.

My packman.log show this error: 
 

lost files:
	2 of /graphics/landscape_rheinland_su/texturemap.bmp
	2 of /graphics/landscape_rheinland_su/oreintationmap.bmp
	1 of /graphics/landscape_rheinland_su/typemap.bmp

Not too sure if it is usefull. I did do a full reinstall and a verify of my files so I do not know what is causing this?

I updated my graphics drivers yesterday so I know it is not that.

My tex.log shows this:

More screenshots showing the broken terrain.

[Alexander9822]

I turned all the graphics options to there lowest option and the issue is still there so I feel that this is a bug.

[Alexander9822]

More screenshots

Is there any devs or testers that can help because this game is litterly unplayable at the moment.

[Alexander9822]

A track of my latest issue with this. just loading in and seeing how broken it is and exiting.

Tracks.zip

Is this folder supposed to look like this?

[Alexander9822]

bump

 

[Alexander9822]

Latest update and the problem is still here, do the dev really just not care about technical issues?

[Alexander9822]

I seem to have temporarily solved it by turning off landscape filtering and roughness.

^ This.

 

Yes, I've been having the same problem lately.  And not always.  Usually exiting the mission and exiting Great Battles, it goes away when I restart Great Battles and the same exact mission.  I'm running an nVidia 2070 Super (496.13 driver), and I bought all my Great Battles content direct through the 1CGS store.

Make a backup of your game files, and delete the updates folder from the main IL-2 folder might fix this.

Start the launcher and it seeks for erroneous files then on booting the game.

I already redownloaded the game on steam and the problem still occured

[jollyjack]

You could try to update your NVDIA drivers, there are some recent changes ...

Otherwise post a mission that has always this behavior, i can see if it behaves on my system ...

Already did it

@-DED-RapidusNormally I would have "Landscape Filter" and "Terrian roughness" on aswell but I have turned them off as when the last time I played. it seemed to temporarily solve the problem.

[Alexander9822]

Okay so the problem occurred again. Here is what I have done.

 

Things I have tried out of the game.

• Installed latest graphics drivers
• Reinstalled game
• Verified installed game
• Cleared cache

Ingame this is what I have done

• Turned AA from FXAA to MSAA and back again - Temp fix as after restarting game the problem is solved but the next time you launch the game it is back.
• Turned terrain roughness and filtering off and on - same result as above, it works while you play but the next time you exit and start the game back up again the problem is back.

It seems to be something with the rendering of the terrain or something along those lines. I can play on any server and when I verify my files, nothing is missing so this has to be a game bug.

I read in some other forum (don´t remember where) someone had graphic issues that were solved by updating the MB bios. I don´t know if that would help with this issue but it might be worth trying.

Thanks but I my MB Bios is on the latest version. All my drivers are up to date iirc. 

[Paganini]

Another game patch, another new Nvidia driver and no change. I've stopped playing the game totally because of this, except these occasional tests. See pics.


 

[Alexander9822]

friendly reminder that this still exists

[Paganini]

Same here.
