objects in HUD disappearing in simulated VR

Jul 03, 2023 Alphonse Geihr link
When using the simulated VR mode, objects in radar HUD disappear depending of the ship's orientation (looks like a normals orientation issue of the said objects with the radar gauge)





Config used :
Windows 7
Intel Core i5 2500k - 3.3Ghz
16 Go Ram
NVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Constant issue, no plugins installed

Thanks. It appears to be a DX9-driver specific problem, but we'll take a look.

So, we've fixed this for an upcoming release. It only impacts the old DX9 driver. A couple of notes, though:

You might consider trying to a more recent in-game renderer, like the DX11 driver. It is more actively supported and updated by us, while the DX9 driver is kind of "frozen in time". To switch drivers, you'll need to disable Simulated VR Mode, and then go to Options -> Advanced -> Video, and select "Change Driver", and then choose "DirectX11 GKGL Driver".

Additionally, on the off-chance that you're still running a 32bit OS, please be aware that we will eventually be discontinuing support for 32bit Windows, much like most other MMOs. Your computer definitely supports a 64bit OS, and I believe the upgrades are still free (?), if you don't have it already.

Thank you very much!
Got it, will do. On a side note, Im already using a 64bit version of the OS, but thanks for pointing it out anyway!
