OK finally problem is gone after you "Fixed: Some issues with cloud rendering" which you reported in spotrep-00045.
thanks

I think I had better FPS today after using this method, so maybe alt+tab like what I showed can break that fps limit.

no alt+tab and getting back to game didn't fix it, as I showed in video I hold alt then used tab to switch to arma 3 icon, then issue is gone.
and yes I have turned on vsync as without it there are many shaking lines in screen specially when move mouse, I usually use vsync in games, in LCD monitors that's really needed.

So I finally found most strange solution way for most strange arma 3 bug!

when I suddenly hold alt+tab and switched to arma 3 app from menu, the visual bug gone! here is a video I provided how I did it:

http://youtu.be/ARPPRHs7mHc

anyway thanks to all you community friends specially @vlad_8011 & @LSD_Timewarp82 for your help but it seems the solution way was more strange than we all thought!

thanks I'm will check it soon, hope this can fix it.

Thanks vlad I'm sure now game's data is going wrong.

Hi mate sorry above links are now corrected, also one of BI friends could fix this issue for me by providing some files like those db effect files you showed me:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?187611-have-a-visual-bug-in-sky&p=2869541#post2869541

the issue is almost fixed by those files and instructions in above BI forum post, but this should get this ticket out of "need more info" stage and BI developers assign it for fix.

So some people described here how to reproduce it, and above link to BI forum, a friend linked some SFX files which almost solved issue, I don't know what more I must do, and I did everything you wanted from me.

I used zeus to change weather and time, still same, but when I used Mediterranean effect from post processes, I didn't see the issue in front view but when looked at sun, I figured that this dirt effect issue is spread out on whole sky except where sun is! just see photo it's a little hard to describe by words!

new rpt file with different weather situations by using mcc mod uploaded.

Thanks mate the ray of that dirt effect increased so this did a bit change! but not significant.
thanks anyway

Unfortunately no, thanks man but I think there is no more option from us as players, and we can't fix and are not responsible for such issue like this, even very rare issue, BI developers must find it and I hope they got some progress on it, I'm really weird with it and wasted my time and energy for something which is beyond my ability, hope they take care of it.
anyway arma 3 isn't currently enjoyable for me to play, I just wait for some answers and incoming updates which may change something although I don't think.

thanks for help mate but I don't know how exactly use that and couldn't grasp what exactly was in installation instruction here:
http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/view/install/

sorry I have 14.12, so I must try 14.9.

yes, I have that 14.9 driver now installed, I must try older one, ok I'm going to download and test that.

ok those overall settings didn't help, I'm now on amd site but I see two packages for download here"

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64

one is AMD Catalyst Packages with 288 MB size and other tab called " Optional Downloads" has AMD Chipset Drivers with 48 MB, is that something separate from AMD Catalyst Packages? and I need to download that or just AMD Catalyst Packages is enough and have all required driver?

thanks for reply mate, no I didn't tried older video drivers, but first let me change your first tips. thanks

thanks surly I'll try that, I just installed game and it installed directx, c++ and frameworks required then used wnidows update which had some updates for them, nothing more.

I used that start up parameter but didn't fix issue.
:(

yep exactly happens in day time not at dawn or night or early morning.

:)
I had an issue like that several days ago in our servers which caused all parked RHS vehicles sink to ground with about half of their wheels like photo you uploaded but not when driving.

Your speech is so hopefully really thanks for that. I just already disabled all steam features like overlay, streaming, broadcasting and etc. no Raptr using, and changed monitor resolution to 1024*768 which allowed me to use higher rates such 75 HZ then changed game resolution to 1024*768 too, but still same, so backed it to same 1280*960. iceman thanks you for reply also these are my windows processes when playing arma 3:

http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/4b89/p9dhkzhhc1vh24wzg.jpg?size_id=5

BTW thanks for your help, but as I said in comments when I take shot in game by steam or fraps the shot doesn't show issue, it's another strange aspect of this issue! only me and anyone who is beside me on the chair can see this issue! maybe this can suspect my monitor, but as I said this issue only happens in arma 3 and also when I open arma video settings menu issue isn't visible, also at starting any mission such preview in editor, during fading from black screen, issue isn't visible and when black screen fade out, issue appears.

Ok I did what you mentioned

turn off Vsync
interface size to normal
clouds to low
particles to high
HDR to standard (was highest available option)
resolution to 1360 * 1024
disable FSAA and ATOC
delete Catylist control center A3 profile and use default global settings

but still same.

thanks for reply mate, I just also reinstalled my while windows and updated it to latest so directx still can be the issue? I will upload my screen shots settings here just wait some seconds and thanks, also will try amd control panel options.

Here is my previous and default settings for all applications including arma 3:

and here is after changing some settings for arma 3:
http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/e76c/hhnvcf8aarlx8lvzg.jpg

the color and other visuals got much better thanks for tip! but the issue is still remain.

most strange is when I open arma video settings menu the issue gone as can seen in pics!

thanks, ok I removed all rpt files and started game in stratis map editor as a simple rifleman and this is rpt files created whci uploaded now.

Hi iceman I never use any mod it's vanilla and fresh downloaded data, no configure data in arma 3 folder, latest windows and driver updates.

(@TakeHomeTheCup not every arma 3 user know about this site, and about bug reporting, and maybe many users ignore this issue as not so important for them, also this page is between bug reporters and arma's developers and other users want to help, if you don't like number of added votes up here, you have no to come here and mention it.)

thanks frank but this issue is only happening for arma 3 not other games and situations, nothing can wrong by hardware to produce only this specific issue.

Thanks for help yes this happene even with a simple soldier insertion on editor map, every much the sky is sunny, this issue shows it's self bigger.

DxDiag uploaded.

not fixed yet even after 1.38 update.

Dammit even formating drive and reinstalling whole windows didn't fix it.
please just do something about it. ;(

new rpt files uploaded.

changing any settings didn't help!

update: issue isn't exist when the sun is no in the sky, such nights and early mornings or near sundown.
so the sun is causing this issue.

Ok I'll try that and thanks, also I switched to dev version but still same issue.

here is it:

https://dc741.4shared.com/img/fxQI76OFce/s7/14b03404e68/IMG_2098

so if this mod can reduce space of this visual bug it means something is going wrong with game, I had no to use any mod before to fix issues such this as this issue was no before.

@FrankHH thanks for that mod which removed half of that visual bug! but still there is a large visual layer on sky, so still not fixed completely.
BI I'm just wait for hear from you.

not fixed yet please help!!!!

thanks but not when I'm fatigued, the picture is just in start of each mission, I'm just waiting for BI reply as I provided what they wanted. also removed arma 3 completely and it's registry values, removed and reinstalled graphics driver and nothing could help.

OK I just completely removed arma 3 and it's registry values and now downloading and installing it again from steam, I will notify you if it's fixed or not.

thanks so much for help i just uploaded them. also removed an installed my video driver which is latest one, update windows, remove some dll files and verify using steam, really weird nothing could help.
just thanks for helping.

Thanks for reply mate unfortunaltely it's very weird and when I use steam or Fraps to take screen shot, the issue isn't visible in the image, so I had to tale it using my camera, can see a border around top of soldier in sky? that's what I'm saying about.
thanks

please help I'm really weird nothing could fix it.

need to be fixed.

All issues are fixed now except this one:

1-In mission "preventive diplomacy" there are several issues too:
kerry squad members have different weapon of their rules, such autorifleman has AT and ATsoldier has autorifle.

the blackfoot from CAS mission never fire on anything include enemy armors and infantries.

Most mentioned bugs in this page seems not fixed yet include those I reported, campaign is heart of singleplayer, please take a look.

I just updated description with same issues and also some new issues founded.

hi, no mod just playing vanilla version.

still same issues exist.

I still encountered an issue like this, some action menus disappear, except switching weapons and some other like turn on a light, but all other menus disappear like gear on dead bodies or vehicles and also get in vehicles.
rpt file uploaded as "new rpt".

must be fixed on highest priority.

Congrats devs finally I could finish this mission without crash!

weapon is mx black and scope not sure what was name.

Ok crash does not happened again after removing that launch parameter.
fixed!

thanks I will try it.

It's not matter that you replay mission, it's random and sometimes maybe this issue doesn't happen because it's of bad AI driving, also BI didn't changed this mission or AI driving since you created this ticket.

new profile? I can't grasp your meaning.
problem is mostly AI driving, one of the hunters stuck in a tree or other obstacles somewhere near that complex, after that when squad move to pyrgos, he still stuck there and squad leader is inside that too, when we disembark near pyrgos mission fails because we are too far from our squad leader.

me still have this issue too.

Also happens for me, what is going on? after each update more bugs adds to game, we are really weird!
