Hello!

I need help to get rid of textures being "Transparent, Shimmering, Flickering"

- On the middle distance some textures are transparent, but not for weapons.
- Shades on the buildings are shimmering, or appears at certain distance
- Textures itself are flickering

On the next video (all very high , MSAA):
- flickering shadows on the balconies
- flickering shaded grid on tower out of the zoom in the top right corner
- flickering red stripe on the tower in the crosshair

Looks like it could be solved by setting a farther "draw distance", but there is no such option.


Maybe there are user.cfg or NVidia Control Panel settings to solve this?

there should be something helpful in here: https://mwomercs.com...editor-for-mwo/

I watched the video expecting a problem... not that. It's a legacy engine. It's amazing it still works.

I get the same thing, same as the water on canyon and all buildings in Solaris.

I just assumed everyone had it

1. There's also video settings as suggested by DATA:
https://mwomercs.com...-video-settings

Something about Legacy NVIDIA GPU code module as described by DATA: 9:30min: "Legacy Standard Effects (using old presets)":


2. I myself on the other hand use MrVaad's MWOconfig Cryengine Config Editor for MWO
http://mwomercs.com/...-editor-for-mwo
http://github.com/MrVaad/MWOConfig

(I've set my MWO video settings to the bare minimum for max FPS, but others might have other preferences...)

Give it a try as its a simple copy paste following the Mr Vaad guides for enabling your own user config.
