ELS lighting reflection bug

[Sgt.Kanyo]

Hi,

so my problem with ELS is that, every time I turn it on, I get these dark lines flickering on the surface where the lights are reflected. It's very difficult to explain, and unfortunately I can't even take a picture of it, so I edited one of my pictures to show you how it looks in game.

When I take a screenshot of a car with els lights on, this is what I get:


That's how it should look like in game, but instead, when ELS is on, I get bugs very similar to this:

(I edited this picture, so that's not exactly the bug, as I've said before, I can't take a picture of the bug, maybe a video would work)

So my question is, can this be fixed? I spoke to a friend of mine he said he doesn't have that bug, and I also saw a video on YT, where the guy didn't have this bug.



Also I have another question about ELS, when I switch to A-04 (or as a matter of fact any -04 line) it means that the lights on the car are not flashing, they are just on, however the els reflection is not always on when the lights on the car are. Here's a picture of what I mean:

As you can see the lights on the car is on, however there are no reflections on the ground.

Its a very weird and confusing problem,indeed.

This one would be difficult to remote-diagnose I guess.So....um...lets see.What'd I do if I were in your place? I'd try to figure out the root of the problem.

-I'd reinstall ELS to see if it solves the problem (keep a backup of your ini,of course)
-If that doesnt help,I'd switch my version (if I were to use v5,I'd use v6 and vice versa--just to check)
-I'd look for glitches in other lights (civilian cars,streetlights,redlights-if they have some bug--again,just to check if their were any suspicious irregularities which could indicate the problem to possibly exist in light shaders/occluders)
-If that doesn't help,I'd restore my backup ( always take backups when my game is in a perfect running position).

I tried all of those. Happens on all cars, every ELS versions, on GTA IV and EFLC as well.

could possibly be a shader issue to do with your enb
only other thing i could think of is a dodgy copy of els or a resource issue to to with your system

[Sgt.Kanyo]

Actually you might be right about the shaders, because I am using a shader from older patches, (something that came along with enb I think). I'll try restoring those, but that'd mean this bug happens on older patches from before right?

EDIT: also forgot to mention, I don't use ENB, only my timecyc mod.

EDIT2: tried using the original shaders (patch 1.0.7.0 or eflc's latest patch), it didn't help. What do you mean by resource issue?

[Dhruv]

Yeah,exactly what I was thinking.You can't use ENB? You blessed us with that RTC and now go use ENB,yourselves? Nah,I won't let you do that xP

Okay,jokes aside.Why in the name of **** were you using ENB shaders? Stock works so nicely with RTC.Where'd you get your original Shaders back from? Or should I upload mine for you?

Remember the grain filter on foggy weather. I didn't have grain filter because of the shaders. The old foggy weather looks a lot better then the new one. Maybe I'll include it in the next release, but I have no idea which file is responsible for the grain, and also no idea who's the author of those shaders (probably just the gta iv shaders from older patches though)

:x
You'll have to take the pain to reinstall the game again...
