FSX Graphical Problems With DX9

Featured Replies

At the moment, FSX is unflyable because of glitches and artifacts related to the autogen (I think?). The problem is extremely hard to capture with a screenshot or video, because as soon as the Fraps recorder is engaged, the problem goes away (while frames are slashed in half), and getting a screenshot is like trying to capture random lightning strikes. The best I can do for now is to try and describe it in a very detailed fashion, until I can somehow get a screenie on here.The issue only comes up usually when panning around in spot view, however also shows up in the cockpit, and while turning. I get clouds that flash, and my autogen (mostly the trees) spike up to the top of my screen, making them look like flashing bar-codes. Sometimes when in areas with alot of autogen buildings, I get odd 2D polygons and triangles, usually the color of the building itself, mixed in with these bar-code flashing trees. As a result, my framerates may stay locked at 30, but will immediately drop to single digits when I move my view, even the slightest amount.It goes away in DirectX 10 mode, but I think everyone here knows about DX10 incompatibilities and invisible lights, etc...so that's not really a great option.

I've tried setting up Nhancer to the settings shown on that page. I've tried a reformat, a different HDD, and Windows XP Pro x64. The issue occurs with every aircraft, in every part of the FSX world. Please help guys!

What you are describing is FSX running out of memory or your system being taxed too hard (sliders to far to the right). Have you made any changes to your fsx.cfg file? If so have you made any changes to the bufferpools setting? If you have remove the bufferpools tweak. Have you tried going into spot view and panning around the aircraft a few times? Sometimes this will also help to clear the issue.

The problem occurs regardless of where the sliders are. My frames stay at about 70 FPS when looking dead ahead, then drop to the lower teens to single digits when panning specifically in spot view, but also in the cockpit view. The autogen spikes everywhere and flashes like a giant 2D barcode taking up my entire screen. This is a DX9 only issue.Also, when you describe running out of memory, are you referring to video or read access memory?

Do you have REX 2.0 with the DX10 textures installed? They are a big improvement in DX10 IMO but cause big time texture flickering on my sys in DX9.jja
