Performance hit after 2.5.6 43931

It is very stupid why when I press the pause button my gpu goes back to 80 percent use when unpaused it's only at 20 percent use and 10 frames per second it only does it when there is more than one object on the map it's ridiculous.

Wish ED would fix this already. It's such a shame that this month of free modules was ruined by unplayable performance in VR. I was really looking to sink my teeth into the JF-17 to see if it was something I wanted to buy but I can't play it...

I feel you, i wanted to test out alot of the modules, and even though i just bought a new monitor, i just can't play dcs on a monitor after the VR experience. Hope this will get fixed before supercarrier comes out!

I have tested out a heap of modules in VR with the free month still on and was happy with some of them until you try a mission with AI in them, I then get very bad VR performance, the FW190A airfield attack in Normandy was the worst at around 12 fps.

At this stage I wont be buying any of the modules I don't have, the Super Carrier is my last purchase (already pre purchased) as the VR performance in DCS has slowly died a death over the last 6 months to a year with me having to drop my settings to a very low set just to get 40fps with ASW on, moving to a monitor setup is really not an option as VR is the only way to play this game

I will stick with what I have now, suffer through 40-20 fps with those planes and start purchasing again, once VR performance comes back up.

My specs are Rift-S, i7 6700k, OC to 4635Mhz, 1080p 32GB, i know its not the best but DCS has played well in VR on this rig up until 1 year ago, where nearly every update this last 12 months has killed VR for me.

Are we not getting updates anymore maybe cause of COVID 19 or something? Seems like ages since we had one, and like others I am not flying DCS any more because of bad VR performance. Don't want to revert back either cause there was one update/install somewhere recently that corrupted everything and I had to reinstall (which as always means remapping axis controls!). Any ideas when we'll get an update?

Yep , i have had an identical experience , even before 2.56 .

Yeah , spending more time on the forums because i can't fly . Finally reverted to stable after 2+ months of waiting , and broke Vaicom - again ! The hell with it . I'll wait for the new pc build & try again .

The only thing thats works in mine is the p51 mustang

I only have had the p51 d mustang work and it gets 40 fps in any nomal misson but any of my jet fighters get bad fps the hornet f86 sabare dcs needs to fix

Is this online you last few posters see this problem or in single player?

In single player at least for me i dont have enough internet to play multi player

I'm deciding to pack VR up as well for now. Its always one step forward then two steps back. Might as well wait till DCS and VR are a little further along.

I was kinda getting bored, of being locked out (due to performance issues) of so many of the SP missions anyway.

I kinda just want to wait until it is actually ready and then fire up some of those Normandy missions! I do know it is going to be epic... eventually!

ED seems to be aware of that. Nothing more then waiting for a fix.

i'm having BIG issues too in vr...

with my hardware i'd expect high fps, most of the time the 40fps my rift s can handle...

with last patch my usual fps are 20.

and the strange thing are that i have 20 fps with ANY graphic settings.

yesterday i tried the same mission, going to low, high, vr, and my custom graphic settings (which are most of high with low terrain, medium vis range) having 20fps, any condition.

i tried to sort it out, i understood it could be 2 things in my case:

- persian gulf map

- smoke (or cloud coverage) in the scene.

Persian Gulf map, specially with F14, are an fps eater. bombing in the middle of the desert, with 2 tomcat and few ground target make me hit 12-14 fps, WITHOUT mirrors.

In other Maps, and other aircrafts, my issues are smokes. In another mission with f18, i had 40fps until ground mates throw a smoke grenade to make the target visible. That case, 20fps.

Then i took down the BTR, its smoke, 20fps.

As soon as the smoke wasn't visible any more, 40fps.

My chimney smoke density settings are 0.

There's a way to solve this smoke fps problem?

Anyone eles getting better fps id only when i am away from any airports but in the city it gets the same as in the country but at the air ports it goes to shit in fps. When im at the airport it goes bad fps but what stinks is my gpu just goes to 20 percent load when im in the county it goes to 50to 80 percent load and it deferent in defferent planes.

I flew last night for the first time in a few weeks and it seemed slightly better but nowhere near where it was before 2.5.6. THe'res probably a few things going on because my single player performance is as good as it has always been. It's only in (some) multiplayer servers where it's sometimes unplayable.

I always used to brag to friends who fly P3D or X-Plane about how in DCS performance wasn't something I even had to think about anymore. I guess I jinxed all of us :(

Something is crazy messed up though - I even get terrible stutters in DCS's menu!
