[5.00+HF1] Eye-popping (twitch clip included) - Devs on the case.

[Terre]

Twitch streamer Pandagaming4fun was playing X4, after about 4 hours playing time the heads of the models started to experience an eye popping problem.

I have that too, sometimes also only eyes visible on the body, only one eye , only hair or nothing at all.
Resolved by restarting the game;)

Being time related, the consensus was that the underlying cause is a memory leak, but I'll await Egosofts opinion.

It's not eye popping, it's the face, that flickers.

I also noticed flickering on other places

The eye popping issue exists since 1.5 it was never fixed

As the last but one poster said, it's not actually the eyes; it's the face that is flickering. We have a possible fix for this in the works.

Hi CBJ,
I'm running X4 latest version (5.10 HF3) with a Radeon RX3900 XT, and I'm also experiencing that flickering textures over NPCs and in the Map view... After 1-2h of play
Back in march 2022, you wrote that something was in preparation to resolve that bug. Can you give an update on how close dev team is to release a fix ?

thanks in advance,

Given the version number of this report (5.00 HF1) there is a good chance such fix is already live in 5.10. If it did not make it into 5.10 for some reason then it will be bundled with the next patch in the works that currently does not have a release date.

I would suggest creating a new topic about the issue and provide the required information (dxdiag, vulkan info, video of the visual artefacts). Just in case your issue it is not covered by the fix discussed here.
