[RESOLVED] PTA - Small blocks flashing on screen after upgrade

[ironcondor]

I have small blocks flashing on screen after the update. I did clear the shader cache. I did forget to reset the PTA preset back to the original before updating the client. I have only updated the client. How can I resolve these small blocks flashing on screen.

[ironcondor]

4.3

4.3

No problems here with P3Dv4.3.

I do not use PTA.

When you upgraded to P3Dv4.3 which P3Dv4.3 componets did you install?

[ironcondor]

It was installed correctly. Client uninstalled, rebooted, new 4.3 client installed. It is not a matter of it working well for you it is what I am seeing.

I installed P3Dv4.3 Cient, Content and SDK.
I do not use PTA.

All working ok here.

You mentioned:
"I have small blocks flashing on screen ".

Do you have a screenshot?
Did you have this problem on you previous P3D version?

What are your PC specs?
Which add-ons?

What steps to recreate your problem?

HAve a look in the root of ?:\P3D4\Effects\texture\ and find the file fx_1.bmp
Temp rename that file and restart the sim.
File properties should be Size:85,4 kB (87.450 bytes) Size on disk 88,0 kB (90.112 bytes)

Hello,

It seems that PTA is not yet compatible with P3D 4.3.

You can uninstall PTA for now, or wait for their team to release an update.

Regards,
Kayla

Thank you for the replies. It looks like the issue has gone away temporarily. I deleted the shader cache and let it rebuild itself.

Question: I completely forgot to restore the PTA shader preset to default. I have read elsewhere and would like to confirm with LM. Does doing a Client update from 4.2 to 4.3 reset the shaders to default?

I have noticed ground textures seeping through several aircraft guages when on the ground.

Thanks!

Does doing a Client update from 4.2 to 4.3 reset the shaders to default?

Hello ironcondor

No, You would need to manually delete this Shaders folder at the location below (Only if required)

Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Local ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v4 - Shaders

Hello Poppet. I did that and also used the latest PTA update for 4.3 and I could not replicate the issue. It looks like it is resolved.
