Since 2.05 elite has looked like a smeared mess. Things like hyper drive, or the star box is terrible. The halo effect from lights is a solid color smearing against the black space, the border around the station services window smears alot. Is anyone else getting this problem, or is there a way to fix it?
Black smear
- Thread starter bewl
- Start date
I've been getting a similar occurrence and usually what fixes it is restarting the oculus service. once that is done, usually, it becomes fine again.
I have a feeling it's more of a runtime 4.4 issue than an issue with ED itself since when I try the test scene in the config menu, it algo gets "smeary"
hope this helps, Cheers

I will give that a shot tonight. Thanks for the reply
I was reading that the smear is more to do with the screen then anything else, you have an off state with OLED screens and it takes time to turn it back on. the fix is to have them never go off which means you lose the contrast.
I could be way off here but that was my understanding

Black Smear
I have the same issue after having it working perfectly fine about a month ago. I stopped since Arena Commander takes up most of my space sim time.
Upon my return it's unplayable with the ORDK2.

It sounds like a low-persistence problem. Try this solution, I know its not ideal but it will let you know if this is indeed the issue:
Set the rift to extended mode. Launch elite and run it in borderless window mode on your rift. If you still see the weird smeared blacks do this:
Launch Titans of space. Get in game, hit esc twice to bring up the options, and toggle low-persistance off, then on. Now quit Titans of Space and go back to Elite (It should have been left on this entire time).
Does this fix the issue?

In Extended mode I have the black smear, in Direct mode I don't have the smear but I have ghosting.

I'm getting this as well, and it just started today. Last night everything seemed perfect. The only change was release to live 1.0.
Ya, very strange... I don't want to blame Elite for not having something that's a Dev product not working, but it's frustrating that it was already working, and now suddenly isn't.
