Do any of you TF guys know what is causing the "grass bug"?

[Kling]

I hav had this issue since a 2-3 patches back and I also posted in the bananaforum...
Its extremely annoying and forces me to switch grass to OFF.

I only see grass in a circle of say 10m around my AC.. and it only loads in patches..

Hi Kling,

We are aware of the issue, and if we can fix it we will. But as always, no promises on the timescale :thumbsup:

Regards.

I thought I was alone with this issue!
Well then... one day down the line maybe! :)

Thx for the reply

No your definitely not the only one, I have the issue too and I know so do quite a few others.

[Tte. Costa]

Hahaha! You're definitely a "glass-is-half-full" guy! :thumbsup:

To the OP -- yeah, I get it, too. At first it distracted the hell out of me on the take off roll, now I scarcely seem to notice it. Hope it gets fixed, though.

Im happy im not the only one if that makes sense. If everyone has it it might be something that will be looked at at some point in the future. :)

Im just glad itd not only on my system.
Just out of intrest, what kind of Videocard do u guys have? Mine is a 1,5GB Gtx 580. Maybe its a VRAM issue?! Do guys with 3Gigs of VRAM have it too?

[ATAG_Snapper]

Interesting question. I have a GTX 680 with 2 Gigs of VRAM. I also have Land Shading turned up to "high" ( which affects how the surrounding landscape is rendered).

[ATAG_Slipstream]

ATI 5850 here, 1GB VRAM as far as I remember.

same issue 4gb 10m circle.

This is the solution for that issue:

same issue 4gb 10m circle.

Just to confirm, I think it always loaded only within a few meters, but problem now is that it loads within 10m and then as you roll forward there is nothing and then BAM suddenly it loads and then nothing and BAM etc etc... It doesnt load in a smooth way and this came just a few patches ago. I thought that it maybe was my fault for having changed something in the conf.ini or Nvidia settings but whatever I do I cant get rid of it. Its even more obvious when i fly low over some the more yellowish fields at a very low alt.
Anyway, i just wanted to confirm that we are talking about the same issue.

Maybe its possible to look into the files structure of earlier patches of the game where this issiue did not exist.??

Anyway, TF has more important things to do right now, I just want to bring up the issue :)

[92 Sqn. Philstyle (QJ-P)]

I have the same issue.

I had this when I was running 2xGTX570 (1.25GB VRAM each)
I still have this issue with GTX670 4GB VRAM

[CanvasKnight]

I have the same issue. It didn't happen that way before, and it also loaded at farther distances, but now it's doing the patching thing and it's really ugly. I wonder what's causing it. Granted I haven't played in a long time, almost a year, so there have probably been several patches in between now and then that could have caused it. I'm using a GTX 580 as well.

TF have aknowledged the bug and are aware of it. Its pretty far down on the priority though.

Since it came in the third last official patch it must be something that changed in the code in that specific patch..

We shalö wait and see ;)

[Oersted]

Just chiming in to say I have it too. No biggie when just playing the sim, but a bit of a pain when moviemaking... Had to go through all sorts of time-consuming contortions for the low-flying sequences of the movie I'm finishing up right now. It happens over all sorts of 'vegetation' (i.e. the different kinds of fields), and not just the grass.

I have a 2G GTX670 PE from MSI. I didn't even know a 4G existed.

Bugger! Should have done more homework.
