Haze effect "patched block not found"

[CaptKornDog 281]

Hello all,

Just upgraded to PTA v2.61 and P3D v4.2 (Client and Scenery installers).  Haven't changed anything in my presets but now am seeing a "ERROR applying tweak [Haze effect]  Problem with patch #1 - Patched block not found." message when trying to apply them.

 

Parameters for Haze effect are:

Effect power: 1.03

Density factor: 0.00000000030

Red: 1.04

Green: 1.00

Blue: 1.01

 

Changing the values doesn't really seem to have an effect on the error.

 

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I found that there sometimes is a conflict between the shaders in the back up, the shaders in p3d and what PTA thinks should be where. Sometimes re creating a back up works. :) / deleting config.

Or re installing client

I´ve tried to reinstall client, delete backup folders of the shaders but no luck. Did i something wrong? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Delete the PTA shader backup folder

Uninstall PTA

Uninstall P3Dv4.2 client

Reinstall P3Dv4.2 client

Reinstall PTA

Enjoy 

 

Note : use PTA 2.62 compatible presets

No change, thanks though.  Will just go without haze effect enabled.
