[Masox]

Hi everyone. Today after update from v. 1.7.2 to 1.7.3 I have a problem with the sky. It´s missing and just pure black on every map. Before the update everything works fine. I tried different graphic settings but that didn't help.

Hello. I have the same problem as my friend Masox. Right after updating to version 1.7.3.0 the skies of all maps are black (bugged). Video settings did not resolve the issue.

Try clearing all related caches to DirectX shaders. Start with the Launcher->Support->Utilities->Clear Shader Cache

Then try cleaning the DirectX shader cache. For that use the Disk Cleanup Utility of windows


Also try deleting Nvidia DX cache files found in. (Delete everything inside)

%LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\DXCache

As well as Nvidia shader cache found in

%LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA Corporation\NV_Cache

Also make sure you are not using any overlays or other utilities that might inject post-processing (e.g. ReShade) into the game.
