Gripen 4-1

Tested again today: with SMT / Hyperthreading on still stuttering with SMT /Hyperthreading off in BIOS much better with the last update the performance / framerate got better for me. But for me it still seems, that there is a problem with SMT / Hyperthreading on or core /thread scheduling. Don't know why, but with DCS SMT is a no go for me.

Had the same a few weeks ago. HP logo on the headset stayed dark and it was not recognized. Had bought an 3 years extended warranty at the shop and got a new cable. With the new cable it works flawless again. @nessuno0505 so there is a good chance your cable is also defective. But 80 € for a cable is massive if you have to buy it now, especially when you know that the headset is end of life.......

So sad to hear about @dburne's passing. My eyes are full of tears and my heart weighs heavy. Condolences and all the strength needed to his family in these dark hours. And to you Don: Blue skies and always a third wire. May you fly with the best up there! You will be missed here very much. cheers Don

Such a great mission! Really thrilling!!!!! Thanks @Badger633

No crash since I set a lager pagefile - knock on wood @FlappieThanks for your help

Hi @Badger633! Great campaign so far, thank you! Can I quit DCS after mission 9 part 1 and start part 2 the next day, or do I have to play all 2 parts in one session? Thanks!

@BIGNEWY are there any news or ideas what the problem with the MT branch is at the moment? As I said it is NOT ONLY an Intel problem. The MT branch is stuttering like hell on my AMD rig. Tried and tweaked a lot but was not able to get rid of the stuttering. Althoug it is better if I disable hyperthreading / SMT, it is far from stutter free. Removed every overclock on my system, but did not cure the problem. Please make this problem high priority, it completely kills the immersion in VR. Made some screenshots from Win10 taskmanager. 1st screenshot: DCS MT with SMT / Hyperthreading on caucasus F-18 free flight 2nd screenshot: DCS MT with SMT / Hyperthreading on syria F-18 free flight 3rd DCS MT with SMT / Hyperthreading OFF syria free flight 4th screenshot: DCS MT with SMT / Hyperthreading OFF caucasus free flight

Thanks @Badger633 Tried mission one again today. All fine. Will observe in the coming missions. All mods removed now. But a lot of free campaigns require civilian aircraft mod and military aircraft mod. Did you observe any issues with your campaign if the two mods are installed? Thanks for your help

Hi @Badger633 started the campaign yesterday. Fist time in M01 I did not turn right on the runway after the PR meeting. so my wingman did not start from RAS AL KHAIMAH. Today, next try, I took off from the carrier, but Dodge 1-2 did not start. Only one Dodge flight was with me to provide high cover. The other one was on the deck with the canopy open.

I will test this weekend. Have not had time yet to test.

W10 @BIGNEWY in my opinion there is a problem with hyperthreading (SMT on AMD) the file made it worse for me with SMT disabled in uefi as soon as I remove the file it is smooth again - 5900X without SMT so only the 12 physical cores as soon as I activate SMT in uefi the OB MT starts stuttering for me 5900X 24 threads tested now with 24 threads with the lua file, also hardcore stuttering I think you have a problem with the "non physical cores" / SMT /Hyperthreading! Please consider to take a closer look at this. As soon as I disable my non physical cores (disable SMT/Hyperthreading in UEFI) DCS is nearly smooth for me

Absolutely no joy for me! Added the lua file, stuttering increased massively, also lower framrate than before.

opened a ticket; told me to decrease preload radius to 60000 and increase pagefile to 48GB or 64 GB. We will see, not 100% sure it solves the problem.

@Flappie no memory errors after 3 hours

Singleplayer only

@Flappie maybe you could be so kind and report the issue. In the meantime I test ram again, but after the first tests my ram seems stable and fine. Had two crashes of these in the past days, maybe I find the logs Thank you!

@Flappiedoes it make sense to set the pagefile to 64 GB? memtest looks good so far......

Hi @Flappie, any ideas why my OB MT crashed to desktop? Logs attached. Seems to be a memory leak!? Have a 32 GB pagefile and 32 GB RAM Thanks a lot! dcs.log-20231104-161022.zip

Same for me: Menu ok but sometimes random heavy stuttering in free flight missions......

I have the same feeling that 1024 every frame is not every frame anymore. The mirrors are choppy / stuttering if I look @ it. This is normal for 1024, but should nit be normal for 1024 every frame - seems something is bugged there....

For me black ones; but noticed it first, when I used the TGP in the hornet. No flashes if I am not using the TGP

Short feedback: Never had stutters in main menu, but in free flight missions I had random stuttering. Yesterday I disabled AMD SMT (hyperthreading) and it is much, much smoother after 2 weeks of stuttering. CPPC is enabled and CPPC prefered core is disabled. Maybe some points that can make things better or worse. But there where a lot of steam VR updates too in the past weeks (I set steam VR as open XR renderer because motion reprojection is much better) Playing with the attached settings in VR with motion reprojection always on

No Win11, no encryption here. Win10 with plenty of free space on both M2 PCIe 4 SSD's.

@BIGNEWY no, sorry HAGS made it even worse - constantly stuttering set the default VR profile, which is very light for my hardware - also stuttering / 1 core is close to maxed out or maxed out. Have two pcie 4.0 M2 ssd's one for OS and a 2 TB exclusively for DCS 1.22TB free. Something in MT seems to be bugged

Hotplug disabled, no scripts runnig, no tacview, started without dcs export for my UFC and without SSA for my haptic pad, but still no joy will give hags a try
