Portsmouth Direct Line Graphics anomoly

Post by chrisreb »

I am seeing graphics anomolies on the route -so far only trying around Portsmouth - and getting great walls of gray as I view around.

Reinstalling a fresh copy of the route and the RSC/Guilford folder has not helped. Seems to be in any scenario I try.

How are others doing?

Got same in West Somerset Railway. This time the sim froze and I had a message box on the desktp saying unable to create vertex buffer.

I have graphics problems with Woodhead, Settle to Carlisle and WLOS flashing between a pale light effect and a deeper contrast. Haven't had a chance to try out other routes yet. This is on a purely Steam installation without any 3rd party enhancements. Tried reinstalling a fresh copy without any change to the graphics apparent. Doesn't happen with my protected TS2013. NVidia drivers up to date. However, not getting the grey walls you're experiencing. Will try PDL next.

I had the same graphics anomolie in the Portsmouth Direct route and L2B , tried everthing without any luck.
Turned out to be the UK LED signal pack. This may be your problem, worth a try getting it reinstalled, wont make it any worse.

WCMLN issues too. Have updated drivers and lowered settings but obviously not the cause.

Have you reinstalled the UK LED signal pack? I know it sounds strange but that solved the same issues that you have.

Hopefully getting there now. Narrowed issue to the RSC folder and when I applied all my updates to the sub folders. Within the updates (mostly soundpacks) there were other files including some that look like graphics files. Leaving these out seems to have resolved the issue which points to incompatibility between versions.
