Angelo Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Hi, As you can see in the attached picture, no sky is shown since today's update. I already tried reinstalling SimRail and rebooting my PC. My video card drivers are up to date. It happens in both single and multiplayer.

Angelo Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Thanks, will do as soon as I get back home from work... on saturday 😅 Edit: the video card should be visible in the log, at the beginning; I have 40GB of RAM and I will look at what CPU I have, I recall it's an i5; I have Windows 8.1.

Pardal Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hello, I have the same problem. Before the update, everything was fine, the game was running on medium detail. PC is old: Intel Core i5 3,20 GHz, RAM 16 GB, HDD, GPU NVidia GTX 660 2 GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_89 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I have this problem. Before the update, the game worked ok. I have an AMD card and I see that I can also use Nvidia cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMRAIL Team uetam Posted November 22, 2023 SIMRAIL Team Share Posted November 22, 2023 I'd like to remind you that your GPU needs to be at least NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 580. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) As written in the log, I have a RTX 2060 (with DirectX 11, 12GB of VRAM, driver version 30.0.14.7381) - so it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, Simrail used to work perfectly before the update, except for the wipers that didn't clean the raindrops and made driving in the rain impossible, or at least unpleasant. Ps I also meet all the other requirements. Edited November 22, 2023 by Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps I also meet all the other requirements. It's a bit hard to support it, when Nvidia dropped support for Windows 8 in 2021 with their drivers and only updates them with security patches. It's exactly why I have been asking to remove Windows 8 and 8.1, as AMD dropped their support even earlier, but in return at least they supported 7 for a year longer. Either way - due to outdated drivers both are bound to operating systems are now bound to create more issues than Linux and Proton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_89 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I have ASUS RX 580 dual. Before updating, it was well played at your own settings. In general, I see that this error is a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, Steam is goint to drop support for Win 8.1 by the end of this year, so I guess I should move to 10 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pardal Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) So I wonder if it's really the GPU's fault. On my daughter's laptop it worked on a test (GTX 1060 GPU), tomorrow I'm getting a GTX 1650. I have the Win 10 64-bit.

epromek Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I'm having the same problem. My environment parameters: Windows 8.1 64-bit; Intel i7-9700KF 3.6 GHz; 16 GB RAM; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6; DirectX 11.0. Before the last update, everything worked fine.

But it's hard to figure out what exactly cause it. Having information like graphics driver would be very useful and system used would be very useful. None of the testers reported this issue beforehand and I even haven't stumbled upon it on Steam Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlr08 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) I have the same problem. This does indeed seem to be a Win7/8 specific issue due to lack of driver support. My system: Windows 7 Ultimate (6.1.7601) Intel Core i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz 8GB memory NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Driver Version 30.0.14.7411 DirectX 11 This should really be fixed as the minimum requirements on steam say that the game officially supports Windows 7/8. If the devs don't intend on supporting older versions of Windows then they should be removed from the minimum requirements page.

Raffael Arkwright Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 If your using AMD FSR, turn it off. In my case it helped.... Seems like it's problem with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Hi I've the same issue. It will show if FSR is turned on. Also if I play in windowed mode and change window size by dragging with my mouse it also happens. It turns back to normal if I reset window size or use DLSS or no upscaling. My system: Windows 11 AMD 7800X3D 32GB memory NVIDIA RTX 3080 Newest NVIDIA drivers Edited November 25, 2023 by Hollow Specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem and I can confirm that disabling AMD FSR helped me too. I also tried switching from DLSS to AMD FSR on my main PC, where the problem does not occur, and after switching the problem appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_89 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Today's update will fix the problem in my game. In addition, the disabled AMD FSR helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 I just installed Windows 11 and now SimRail works! Really impressed with the update. The graphics are stunning, the sounds are gorgeous, my beloved EN57 is fun to drive (of course it is!), and Sławków, with the signalbox at ground level on the first platform, makes me feel at home - it used to be a common solution, here where I live. It required more work than I expected to get this sim update to run, but it's worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlr08 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I'm happy to say that this seems to have been fixed! I just updated the game and the sky loads properly now : D Edited December 1, 2023 by tlr08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
