P3D 5.1 and Envshade - DXGI Hung etc

[lordonion 2]

Hello All,

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this issue and found a solution:

Thought i'd try out Envshade but after installing and updating with patch to 1.1.6.0 when I launch P3D I get the dreaded 'DXGI Device Hung' message at 90% loaded/processing shaders stage. However if I disable HDR in P3D the issue goes away.

This is with P3D 5.1 & Gigabyte RX5700 XT graphics. Prior to this I had no problems getting decent performance out of of P3D with all the usual addons.

As I have a bit of time on my hands i've tried various things: clean install of video drivers, clean install of P3D, all imaginable combinations of graphics settings, even fiddling with Tdr settings in the registry etc. but to no avail.

Not the end of the world just not to bother with Envshade, just annoying me that I can't make it work! 😄(I've checked the envshade forum which is where I picked up on switching off HDR, but otherwise no joy).

Here I use EnvShade on both view pc’s without any issues.

You could un- reinstall P3D Client and start with a clean shader setup.

Thanks for the suggestion Gerard! I can get P3D working again with a clean shader setup, but unfortunately always fails if I reinstall EnvShade.

That’s weird.

EnvShade has 2 presets : performance and quality. 
Try performance to see if that makes a difference.

Start EnvShade as Admin.

Indeed it is weird! I have tried all combinations of settings in envshade - performance / quality, low/high sliders, etc. Run and install as admin, but always the same hung graphics card unless I disable HDR in P3D. Wondering if it might be something graphics card/driver specific, as the only other post I found with this issue (unresolved) was with the RX5700.

Asking the most basic question, but is your EnvShade up to date for 5.1?

I believe so! Downloaded the base package from sim market and then applied the patch to version 1.1.6.0

If you haven't already, try running EnvUpdater just to make sure.

Hello all, thanks for suggestions. I've heard back from the Toga Projects team now that envshade isn't working correctly for some AMD cards and there isn't currently a solution. At least I know it isn't just me now!
