Misc Sol 2.2.9

[Peter Boese]

It happened for me as well with the beta.
Follow exactly this steps:
Do an INTEGRITY CHECK from steam
roll back the shader patch to Preview 46
Install SOL 1.0 following instruction manual
You'll get the game functioning again.
Wait for some more problem solving solutions about the "bland sky" problem.

Most problems occur when the dwrite.dll is not deleted before the installation.

Ah, maybe this was step I missed

I think you have to use both underlined and fat text...

... and a megaphone

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

doesn't the installation overwrite the dwrite.dll?

I keep having a weird issue. I set the included pp-filter in the CM video options as the filter to use, however in game it usually changes it to the S1-Showroom filter I have also installed and I need to manually set the desired filter in-game. This doesn't always happen, but most times. It's an issue I've always had, even back with the first GBW versions and now with Sol as well.

I suspect it's the naming with the two underscores not working well with some setting I use on my system, because when I changed the name of the filter from (example) "__gbw" to just "gbw", the issue never occured again, but I also never read anything about it, so I guess it's just me.

My question is, is something dependent on the pp-filter being named "__Sol", or can I change the name without breaking something in Sol v1.1? It seemed to be OK in v1.0, but in retrospect I'm not certain.

We discovered, that in some cases the dwrite.dll cannot be overwritten by CM. Maybe it was used before and it is still accessed by the system. So manual deletion by the "user" is safest way.

If you rename it to Sol.ini, then please go in the folder /system/cfg/ppfilter/sol_custom_configs/ and rename the __Sol.lua also!

Some people should be forbidden to comment/rate mods, they are rating nothing but their own ignorance !!! at least make a dam effort. if you invested 0.0001% of the time the modder used to provide you with free stuff to install the stuff or had the decency to ask for help in case its complex perhaps people could have more shiny stuff. Great work to the team.

I have removed Sol from MOD and deleted but in Assetto Corsa > Apps I still have Sol Config, Sol Plan Selector and Sol Weather. Any idea on how to remove them?

I have followed the manual (1.1) but I get errors in game, so unfortunately I'll remove it for now.

Apart from the game locking up completely when exiting after a lap of Imola where I had to sign out of Windows to get the computer to do anything, I have to say that I'm really, really happy with Sol 1.1. All the VAO patches look to have made some difference and I can get my FPS into triple figures on some tracks. Nice one Peter!

 

[Bieri777]

Hey, i need help. Whats this and how to get this out of the game? XD

 

[arcadios]

I have again 3d grass (mugello) that is very ungly. do i have to delete something in the ini again like spa? (latest sol+shader)

 

[NJGG]

If anyone else is having the problem with blank sky, try changing shaders patch to something different than preview 49. Preview 74 fixed it for me.

 

[tlsmikey]

Love the update, but is there a way to tone down the spark effect? It's pretty aggressive at dark settings on Nordschleife.

 

[Rogerbee]

That's in the shader patch, not Sol.

 

[arcadios]

I dont know if its sol or shader problem but in srs i dont have mirrors. 2 races now. in offline i am ok.

 

[DanielPG003]

Hello, I just installed the mod, but the sky looks black all the time, even probe to make a clean installation and I still have the problem.

Any solution?
