Corrupted avatar/character picture after some restarts

Yes…and all control settings… :unamused_face:…Store version

Hi folks,

It seems there’s quite a bit of discussion regarding DLSS Swapping etc. Is this specifically relevant to the issue regarding the avatar picture being corrupt? If so can those of you who believe this may be the root cause not use this and see if you can still reproduce the issue?

Cheers

24

No problem. I can confirm that I use the registry entry for the On screen Indicator. I mentioned DLSS Swapper purely for those that don’t like to mess with reg entries. Apologies if I unintentionally misled anybody.

25

I am on PC, in SU 5.1 v1.7.28.0, and have DLSS Swapper. This issue only happened for a day or so, and has not repeated since - but I can’t remember if DLSS was in its default MSFS version 310.1 or the swapped 310.6.

I will try to reproduce the issue

26

Ok so this is weird.

I messed with Nvidia app settings as @FirebirdFGR2 suggested, put them to default :

  • Result to preset E, DLSS v310.1

  • issue fixed

Then I changed back to something like Dynamic framegen, DLSS to Quality preset :

  • Result to preset K, DLSS 310.6 (I guess Nvidia app swap the .dll by its own)

  • issue still fixed

Finally, I set the Nvidia app DLSS replacement parameter back to “recommended” :

  • Result to preset M, DLSS 310.6
  • aaaaand issue is back !

PC, MS Store version by the way, sorry to not have put this in the initial post.

Hope this helps.

27

So just to try and nail this down.
The only time you got the issue was when you were set to Performance, Preset M, is this correct?

28

It seems so.

Recommended Nvidia setting set these parameter for you if I remember correctly.

So Performance with preset M, yes. :wink:

29

I’ve been using L

30

You have been using Ultra Performance with Preset L. Is this the case?

31

Issue is definitely happening with Preset M and Performance mode.

Tried “recommended” Nvidia DLSS preset but with Quality forced (preset K) : issue fixed.

32

Same for me…was solid for me with L also 1951…I don’t have the "Latest "option anymore to select either..Today’s whacky too… Avatar looks like Stretch Armstrong…better than the psychedelic one :grin:..This Sim gets misaligned from so many angles at the same time..I would hope they would settle in somehow..I lost every logged flight since Nov, 24 too…That’s no showstopper for me…but every update there’s so many fumbles…and why take my control panel?..I use nothing but FF and GA…Su5 started it with me… on top of continuous driver changes and aircraft updates slamming though..seems like a disaster waiting…I’ll hold on like always…it’ll come around hopefully…I’m going fishing…

33

Whilst this thread is on a narrow issue here, which of course I would like to see fixed, I am wondering whether moving forward Asobo should switch away from their current model concerning DLSS libs.

A friend of mine said that one of his other games has done away with supplying DLSS libs with the game, I think that it was Cyberpunk but I can’t be sure. They simply use the fact that now the drivers come with the libs.

I don’t imagine for a moment that it is a five minute change to implement but I wonder if it would save future coding issues by using the driver rather than fixed dlls.

34

This mistake is maddening.
It hadn’t happened for several days, but as soon as any change is made that affects DLSS or FG, it starts happening again.
I don’t understand how a bug like this can still occur after the simulator has been on the market for so long.

35

I did a re-check in SU6 Beta 5 and the issue is still there.

I still haven’t seen what “Auto” is yet. Anybody else seen anything about that?

36

Yes I can confirm the corrupted Avatar.
