Black Sea and tree textures

[Memoi]

Since the last patch, the sea is black matte. This was the same for everyone in DDs. 

Also, the tree textures are missing with just the black matte showing.

Had not heard anything about the sea.. We are aware of the tree trunks though. You can fix it by turning off “Normal Maps” in your settings.

Yup not an issue with normal maps turned off - which btw improves your performance.  Normal maps is hard to detect anyway unless you are close to them.  It might not be quite as pretty, but not that different.

I can get the black tree trunks with normal maps on but can't get the black water.....weird.

What video card do you have?
On my old video card the sea was kind of matt blackish when i would turn on the advanced options for water
Might try turning those off just to see what it does?

[Memoi]

Perhaps it was a one off, but the sea textures were showing as normal last night. 

When the black sea first occurred there were three others in the mission, all with the same problem.

My PC details are - 

Intel Core i7-5820 CPU @ 3.30 GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 14283 MB Driver 23.21.13.8813

I still think this is messed up too.  Running a mac, Most detail and 4x FSAA - still have the black sea.

When will the normal maps be fixed?

Same - used to not be the problem. Normal maps on and the sea is still black for me also. Used to not be the case, I just turned them off and have kept it that mostly that way for years because of the FPS hit I got with them on.

Did you turn normal maps off in game under preferences?

[delems]

When is this going to be fixed, so I don't have to disable normal maps?

 

[dwalin]

@delems We do know from the dev team that it's going to be looked at, but we currently do not have an ETA on the fix.  We will do our best to keep you posted as we learn more.

[membrain]

Ok, I set the normal maps to off and only SOME of the trees came back with textures,  - screen rendering is still losing the textures.

It's been weeks since this was introduced with the Christmas "snow" patch (don't get me wrong, the snow was cool); is this ever actually going to be fixed?

 

edit: Saw Dwalin's post. Thank you.

I kinda like it the dark texture on the trees . I have now both the dark and the Bark texture. Makes for some different landscape besides the brown. 

Not all trees look the same so I can live with it in game too.

The sea.......

And it was fixed before, so it just needs to needs to be put back- they broke it.

There is no 'fix' as it was fine before.

I can see the charcoal trees (I tell myself it's fire damage from bombing and shelling)
I can not see the water thing though, wish i knew why the water was black for you.

You see all water as black?

[xanthus]

It's been almost three months now. Not seeing anything about this in the readme for 1.35.12. It's a pretty major visual bug.... ETA on fix?

No delems, everything takes time, which is very limited when you are just a volunteer.

[delems]

Yes, I'd accept that... except... ya broke it; it was working.  Should be easy to reverse?

So it seems like this should be a quickie to resolve.

LMAO you crack me up delems.

I'm sure it will be fairly quick but where does it fit in priority wise (don't answer that, it's not a question) while one of us is working on that, we aren't working on something else, obviously.

[delems]

Fixing broke stuff should always take priority over new stuff in general, imo.

Especially when ya just broke it recently.  Anyways, just reporting that it still not working.

Just flip the black tree texture switch to off
