Little black triangles spoted on the horizon !

[spearchucker]

Yes well this seems to be my problem as of late and try as I might cant get rid of the little buggers. I have a nvida card, using 16km GWX mod, these two things are the only thing I can think of that would cause the problem. But if anybody has a clue, I sure would be thankfull:damn: it really kills the realism. Oh and by the way all you people who work on the mods for SH 3 just want to say thank you for all your hard work you make this game for me. Especially the Gray wolf team, besides the little black artifacts on my horizon I am loving it!!! Thank you. I have SH 4 but I think I will stay in the atlantic for now! thanks in advance for any ideas or advise.

Do you know what kind of Nvidia card it is? Some older cards might have problems with the game and mods. Also, make sure all your video card drivers are up to date.

Hi Spearchucker :D

You just have to give more info like comp specs, ect for us to really help you.

Give us something to work with. :D

Probably ozone layer hole, nothing to worry about :rotfl:

This can often result from a graphics driver problem...try d/l the previous version.

Which version of GWX?
2.1 includes the fix for the black triangles.
2.0 does not.

@spearchucker not sure which you mean by .... 'up to date' if you mean those from ms update don't use them. Go to Nvidia home page and use the official. Using 8800GTX's here and no probs with 175.19 . For wiw also using nhancer and got those babies tweeked nice. Best of luck, hope this helps.

EDIT: ditto what privateer said, tho there are still some anomalies using nvid cards using the 16k mod if I remember correctly.. shimmering or some such.

Best regards.

Thanks, I downloaded the offical drivers, it helped alot, they are still there but I think I can deal with it now. It seems to be worse when the suns shinning, clear weather, what settings on the nHancer are you using for SH3? I use it for SH4 but really just guessed at the settings for SH3.

@ spearchucker, see post #7.:yep:

[spearchucker]

GWX 2.1 is what i got by the way sorry again:oops:

[Reece]

Can you post a screenshot, just wonder if it's the same thing as Privateer is talking about (never had this problem - though I have an ATI card).:)

[spearchucker]

I probably sound stupid but first I have no idea how to take a screeny on SH3 and would not have a clue about posting it, but if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be happy to. It will probably be later though as bed is calling my name right now, but a quick description might give anybody an idea. The black artifacts are most noticable on the horizon although from the bridge if i look straight up its very bad, its worse in sunny clear weather. From what I can tell its has to have something to do with the lighting I never had this problem untill I installed GWX

When u want to make a screenshot u hit Print Screen on your keyboard :)
I don't expect u'll be fast enough to react catching that triangle which appears on the screen 1/5 part of the second, lol.

And theoretically this issue has been fixed with GWX 2.1 release. Don't have an idea how come u still see them..

[Reece]

When u want to make a screenshot u hit Print Screen on your keyboard :) If you are using the HiRes mod, if not you will have to use Ctrl+F11, this will save into SilentHunterIII main folder.:yep:
After this you will have to join a website like photobucket.com, then upload your pictures, you will then see your picture thumbnail displayed with a list of 4 options below it, copy the last option (url) and paste that line into your post here at Subsim.:up:
Now get some sleep!!:lol:

@spearchucker

I'm at work atm but if you pm me your email addy I'll gladly send youmy nhancer settings. Just bear in mind I'm using an SLI rig so you'll have to amend the setting else I can do it for you. Hope this helps.

Best regards.

Dammit! Today I saw black triangles over horizon too :o

I was cheking activities at Longyearbyen/Svalbard island and I saw triangles again.

Got back in port and I'm currently disabled SHIV Scene for GWX 16k v3b mod, since before I have never seen triangles with GWX 2.1..

I still have a doubt is it really 16 km atmoshperhe ?
f.e. What I mean is - when u look at the cliff which is 8-9 km away I can't see the land clearly because it is covered in fog or something. I think land should be visible very clear if it would be 16 km atmoshpere. Like in GWX 16 km.

The land fogy shape is starting to appear in real 16 km, when u have the distance of 17-18 km away or so. From this mentioned distance I can't even see the land shape totaly with SHIV Scene for GWX 16k v3b mod.. :nope:

hi,

yes i had the same problem with triangles with the stock version and gwx v2.0.
in gwx v2.1 the bug is fixed thats right, it works without problems.

I have the same card and with 2.0 I would get the triangles. With 2.1 I have yet to see them. I do not run any scenery mods either.
Maybe the allies have come up with a new cloaking devices in your game?

[maddysad]

I have Nvidia 8600GT card and remember having black triangles dotted around ships(GWX2.1).These were almost entirely removed by tweaking settings.I'm no expert as I occasionally get ONE if I look vertically upwards from deck gun(when exploding ships, greater demands on card, etc), but overall gameplay/ graphics/ FPS / game loading are great so I'm prepared to accept this minor blip as just that.

[spearchucker]

Been unable to catch one of the little devils on any screenshots, took a bunch went through all of um with no results :nope: but atleast I know how to do that now. I wonder if messing with the resolution would help any? I seem to be the only one with this problem since GWX 2.1. But yea, I think its a new allied secret weapon to drive Uboat captians insane thus forcing them back to port to under go some kind of mental health treatments :stare: :damn: :rotfl: :doh: :rock: oh well thanks for all the help guys it just seems I may have to put up with it for the time being

Perhaps you have installed an interfering mod over the top of GWX 2.1?
