[REPORTED]VR Performance OB 2.5.6

I also see no performance gain from the VR shader mod. It may have some effect on lower end systems, but on my end i only see that NVG peeking feature as useful. I have my doubts about how this black mask rendering makes any sense, because if it's added later in the pipeline, those covered pixels are rendered anyway and turned into black in an additional step. What has an effect on FPS is Nvidia driver settings and turning DCS settings down, like he did in the video. But that doesn't help with how AI units tank performance afterwards.

Do two installs, one for the beta one for live...

Ya I am going to but I dont have enough room on my current nvme so i got another one coming to install both versions on it and that drive will be solely for DCS. No other garbage on it.

thats what i did with a spare SSD

Guys, video settings and shaders aren't going to do much if anything for you, the problem is the GPU just isn't doing much. The CPU must just be getting destroyed by something and is unable to feed the GPU.

I've been playing around with a 2080ti and with 150% target render scale I'm getting into as low as 20 fps and the GPU at 40-50% utilization.

I'm seeing similar results. Although, occasionally the GPU spikes up to 75%.

I've seen better results if I literally put every setting to the lowest it can go and PD to 1.0 in steam and DCS. But even then it's spotty.

This, of course, is with a 2080ti overclocked to hell and water cooled and a 8700k @ 5.2ghz and water cooled. 32GB RAM.

Every game works flawlessly. Other quite graphically intense games do not have the performance issue that DCS is experiencing in VR. Further, even if I set up a mission with me only... frames are all over the place.

I did a complete fresh install including formatting my SSD, no joy.

Sadly, today's patch has made no difference to the issue being discussed here. CPU times are still through the roof at times. See attached for an example.

Just as I was to download the patch... I see this.

Been waiting so long, anyone else confirm?

OMG so important thing and still not fixed!

BN has said in the main patch notes thread that ED are still working on FPS issues. So, we'll just have to be patient.

So 2.5.5 for me until FPS issues are fixed...

I wonder what will teach me more patience...

...the mainstream-media and their corona-fear-porn or ED and DCS...

:music_whistling:

Same here, no benefit from the present update regarding performance.

Left/right eye issues for clouds and taxilights still present.

Hard to take at the moment...

I wold have apreciated it mor to hace these fixed instead of new features for, wathever:noexpression::mad:

I have the same performance as previous 2.5.6 iterations. Caucasus its unplayable, it sames something related with high CPU usage and terrain loading (huge stutter when use TV sensors maverick or TGP, looking to the horizon).

Persian Gulf at least don´t stutters with TV/TGP zoom cameras looking at horizon. There must something in caucasus that downs performance related with how terrain is loaded in 2.5.6

I was hoping ED had resolved those issues thorough today´s patch. Its the same. I don´t undersand how VR area could take this hit in performance, most modules are unplayable in VR, specially on Caucasus.

It’s not just Caucasus. PG is horrible at times as well. As an example run the Viper PG Free Flight IA mission and fly towards the airport nearby. Watch the fpsVR CPU time!

Yes, there are many problems, one of them is common as you say: The AI units peformance impact related to units it seems to me about 1.5 / 2.0 times worse, depending of the number of units, in comparison with 2.5.5.

Maybe it could be related to an increased frequency of programming with line of sight or pathfinding of AI units (for example, an increase in AI frequency "search", from ms to ns?? maybe beacuse of that the CPU cycles is increased).

But in caucasus, in addition, there are huge FPS stuttering problem, that is related to use of TGP, or simply zooming in VR to the horizon (is the same principle).

That issue didn´t occour in Persian Gulf (for example, you can try using Su-25T in training ground targets quick mission, in PG is playable with no stutters when using TV camera. However, in Caucausus its a stutterfest the ground attack missions, specially when TV camera looks to horizon).

the CPU and GPU usage increase remains unchanged with the 2.5.6.45317 patch for me.

I wonder if ED have found the reason for the increased CPU and GPU usage?

I realy would like to hear from ED on that subject.

The whole thing is a real stutterfest………….

I think they should roll the thing back an redo it before releasing it again. That's the worst OB update I have seen so far

At this point maybe its time to redo the patch from 2.5 (the last time it worked) and chuck 2.6 in a fiery volcano!???

Nobody is going to care about any other fixes when the sim doesn't work.

I kinda am kicking myself in the teeth for preordering the Super Carrier now. I had hopes of releasing some of the first videos of when it is released. Sigh...Pipe dreams.

I really hope ED figures it out. I've been simming for a few decades... (cuz Im old!)...and I can't remember anything breaking a sim for this long.

Me too. looking all the way followed thorough 3 betas since january, I expect no less than a miracle to fix this, or returning to 2.5.5 levels. At least I would like to have some explanation why such huge impact in performance, appart of the comments like "we are looking / working on it". For me, shading changes in illumination doesn´t justify huge performance impact (more related to CPU).

Totally agree with you. I´m following as a loyal customer (and buying) ALL ED´s works since 1998 Flanker 2.0 times, Lomac, flaming cliffs, etc.. I have all of them. I don´t remember anything breaking the sim like 2.5.6. was.

Maybe it would be a wise decission to consider to returning to 2.5.5 branch, start from zero, looking changes that impact performance, maybe increase QA checking (or at least, as a minimum, finding the item of such performance fps impact, specially on VR). Or moving urgently to priorize about other tasks like vulkan or core optimizations, sincerely ED... I regret of buying early access Carrier OPS module, because with this performance, I won´t taste it. I´m also a bit tired of some comments like "we will improve peformance this year" or so, when the reality what we have is seeing worse performance after each new version. I would like some explanation about what causes 2.5.6 downgrade in FPS, even taking into consideration is a BETA, I know.

Thank you for not letting me feel alone out there, my my fellow Elder Sim Brother!

Yes 256 Kills my VR experience.

Back to 255

Yeah , i have considered reverting to 2..55 , but the stable guys are pressuring ED so they can enjoy the same performance issues :)

DCS has been unplayable for me since 2.56 , and previous patches have likewise gradually decreased performance as well , necessitating lower graphics settings to continue to play .

It's getting old .

I'm building a new pc , but given the sh*tshow that DCS has become , i'm not sure what i'm gonna fly on it .

How about Stable? Maybe give it a shot.

It’s not just Caucasus. PG is horrible at times as well. As an example run the Viper PG Free Flight IA mission and fly towards the airport nearby. Watch the fpsVR CPU time!

I just ran this instant action, and had no issue. I don't have fpsVR but I can have a cpu time reading with oculus debug tool.

BTW with my settings it was 45fps+asw all the time, flying over the big airport.
