Performance decrease

With the last update 2.5.4.28615 I've notice some lower frame rate, between 15-20 less frames; am I drunk or has anyone had the same problem?

I think it's related to the F14 release.

+1 same on my end about 15'ish frames

I think it's related to the F14 release.

Could be but the problem persist even while flying other module

I've seen way more than that, I've had my FPS decrease from about 75-80 to about 25.

I haven't seen any performance decrease, quite the opposite. I've been flying the F-14 exclusively.

I also experienced a massive performance decrease. First time in years.

Cheers!

I haven't seen any performance decrease

Me neither, all recent versions have ran really well even on my aging POS computer. Did you guys delete your fxo and metashaders folders after patching?

Update maybe

DCS 2.5.4.28841 Open Beta here, no issues in SP and built in Hornet missions, Hornet campaign or custom missions I built.

It's really not informative, could depend on various factors. Spec, mission, environment mods, modules just to name few.

I figured out my prob and it had nothing to do with DCS...

I installed NVidia drivers 419.67 ("Creator Ready Driver") w/out paying attn. This driver turned out to be the problem.

I rolled back to the last "Game Ready" driver which is 419.35 and now everything is fine again.

I don't know why, i'm not going to look into it because I just want to fly :) I just wanted to let people know in case it helps someone.

Cheers!

Almost the same here which isn't fun.

FPS are especially low when looking at the general direction where lots of objects are (like Abu Dhabi or Dubai), even if I'm so far away that those aren't being rendered at all (like 80nm). Before the Tomcat release, I had 50+fps when flying right in between the skyscrapers, now I have 20 when looking there from 80nm away. Happens in both the Tomcat and the Hornet. Didn't try other planes though as of yet.

I might repeat myself...

...but i think ED should really have a look at their promised performance optimizations.

For both VR and 2D gamers.

I remember flying low and fast with my hornet with stable 60(2D)/45(VR) fps when the hornet came out a while ago

and it was really the best fictional experience I ever had...

(besides some drug experiments when i was young).;)

Unfortunately performance has gotten worse and worse with every update since then.

A few days ago I found myself desperatley experimenting with graphics settings for hours to get (back) stable fps where once I had super smooth 60fps in 2D and 45 in VR. Unsuccessful.:noexpression:

(i7@4.8Ghz , 32GB RAM , 1080ti OC)

Please ED, now go and do your homework! You're talking about improvements and promising things that seem to actually develop into the opposing direction for quite a while now.

The performance is gone and so is the fun.:mad:

Unfortunately I can't afford a "nuclear powered graphics card" and I believe I'm not the only one having this problem...

...going paragliding now...

...because stutter-free unlimited-fps nature!:D

SAME problem....even if I keep flying the f18.:mad::doh::(:(:(

Performance improvements should be the highest priority instead of adding more planes!

In fact they would do both at the same time - different departments, different tasks.

For me Persian Gulf only performance drop almost 60%... and big FPS variations.

Also now have stutter/freeze on Su-33 takeoff (at the moment of separation from the runway) and strange stutter/freeze when trun on LSHIFT+E (Special Afterburner) on all terrains.

Well, they haven't added any planes since the frames have been chopped by about 60%. Just coincidence this happened at the same time the Tomcat went into the public versions.

Given the number of third-parties team pumping planes into the game, I'd personally prefer to see ED focus on performance, and adding other stuff like dynamic weather and dynamic campaign.

Have you guys at least tried deleting the fxo and metashaders/metashaders2 folders in Saved Games?

The new "Game ready Driver" 419.67 is released, I'm curious if you have any issues with this driver installed?

I installed it on a RTX-2070 and do not see any issues

@kmw072671 - No problems here...

I don't have to. My DCS shortcut omits the update process and when I know a new one is up I run this:

@echo off
if exist _downloads rd _downloads /s /q
junction _downloads H:\
del "E:\DCS World User\fxo\*.*" /s /q
rem del "E:\DCS World User\metashaders\*.*" /s /q
del "E:\DCS World User\metashaders2\*.*" /s /q
del "E:\DCS World User\ScreenShots\*.*" /s /q
pause
e:
cd\
cd "DCS World OpenBeta"
bin\DCS_updater.exe update

Drive Hage is a RAM disk BTW. I usually scale it up to 8GB when updating. Just isn't enough when the maps get patched. In that case, I just delete that _downloads junction when the batch script is at the pause break. The updater will then just recreate it as an ordinary folder on the SSD. "DCS World User" is junctioned to %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta. I plan to swap that around though to get that stuff off of my C partition. Less than 3GB of free space is a PITP when updating Windows... especially that ScreenShots folder likes to grow big even with all Screenshot key mappings removed in DCS.

Driver 419.67 installed. Problems for me seem to have gone away. Driver 419.35 was bad for me.

I tend to agree, 419.35 was a pain in the a***, now with latest drivers the stutters are less pronounced.
