X-Plane 10 Graphics Known Issues

This is a list of some bugs we already know about and are working on at this time.

See X-Plane 10 Graphics Card Support for a list of supported graphics cards.

For command line work-arounds see Using_Command-Line_Options.

= OS X =

Crash on Quadro/DX11/Fermi hardware on OS X
This appears to be a driver bug. To work-around, start X-Plane from the command line like this:

X-Plane.app/Contents/MacOS/X-Plane --no_fbo_minify

= Windows =

Hang on startup with NVidia hardware
Be sure drivers are current; some users are able to work around by uninstalling or disabling the following programs:** Matrox Powerdesk A few users have also managed to run by changing their multi-monitor configuration.
 * Omnipage OCR
 * TeamViewer

We do not have work-arounds for all users; we are further investigating this bug now.

Green and blue artifacts all over the place with various shadow settings on NVidia/Windows hardware
This appears to be a driver bug (works in 280.26, broken in 285.62, works in 290.36 beta). We are investigating now; in the meantime, you can use the 280.26 or 290.36 beta drivers.

Poor performance on high-end ATI video cards
This is something we are still working on now and hope to fix in an X-Plane update.

Ghosting and startup screen in the sky on Intel HD GPUs
This appears to be a bug in the driver - run from the command line with --no_fbo_blit to work around like this. X-Plane.exe --no_fbo_blit

= Linux =

Crash on start with Gallium/MESA drivers on Linux
We only support the proprietary NV/ATI drivers on Linux.
