I have my Silent Hunter 5 running in maxed out settings with no problems, but there is one big problem that i need to fix but i can't find how to.. So when i have the option of 3D Clouds enabled sometimes when i look at clouds using binoculars or telescope it gets bugged, apears colorful, flashing textures and after while they go out, then they appear again, and its continues... Someone please help me to fix this bug i have SH5 v1.2 Sorry for my bad English.

Does this only happen when moving the camera? Might just be your monitor.

Nope, it happens at random times, at other games my monitor works fine, i think its something with 3D clouds texture compression..

Are your video drivers and DirectX components up to date? It sounds like a driver issue.

Everything is up to date, i have searched forums and found that not me alone have found this problem, i would be so happy if there would be 2D Clouds mod instead of 3D.

Crazy suggestion... disable 3D clouds?

CaptJulius · 06-15-12, 06:28 AM

Yes... For me.. Because i cant play normal with flickering textures in 3D clouds when i look at them.. Would be really happy if there would be 2D clouds instead 3D.. I know there is 2D clouds in SH5, but they appear only in storms.

Ahoy Julius,
Gotta' request for you. Whenever we have a problem like this, specifically a graphics issue, list your system specs and your mod list (if any). Also tell us if you are patched to the 1.2 version of the game.
I understand the graphics flickering and various differences in view from the Binocs, Telescope and the main camera (avatar) view. Sometimes all we can do is improve some of these things because of the huge amount of rendering going on every second. So, if we know if your playing the stock game or a heavily modded game or how compatible your system is, there much more room for finding a workaround or even a cure for the problem.
If your still experiencing this issue, drop in this info and we'll start again.
Good Hunting
