[REPORTED]DL page consuming Fps?

can confirm. dropping from 60-75fps down to 9-12fps once DL is activated and visible on HSD.

 

Sorry but how do things like these get past QA ?

Well, it doesn't happen for me, neither SP nor MP, so...

Same here and I'm running a combination of relatively weak CPU and old GPU so anything hammering either of those is very noticable.

Are there any harware comonalities between PCs where the issue is aparent ?

It only happened to me once last night. Just flew a mission on Hoggit Persian Gulf and everything was fine. Maybe it is a random thing.

Guess what If I connect to a less populated server or use most of the standard missions it's not a problem, because there isn't much to display in the first place.

It's dependent on the number of A/A Contacts and Threat Rings that have to be displayed and will get worse with an increasing number of units/threats.

Do me favor and try 104th, BF or Growling Sidewinder at peak times or load.

Screenshots are from my quick test miz (also attached).

I was, and I stayed in the high 80s in the air. Will take a look at it again - also most posts in this here thread sound like "FPS drop as soon as I turn it on" and not "As soon as I turn it on *in a highly populated MP environment*" - and that's probably why it didn't get squashed in QA in the first place, because it needed more testing under load.

Just tested it myself as well, same bug happens although less pronounced since the server is almost empty right now.

Can you try the attached miz in my previous post and tell us the results ?

I have found that turning the FR on makes the FPS drop, turn it back off and it goes back to normal. It seems to be a problem with how the contacts are being rendered on the MFD

Thank you for the test mission. I get between 120-130fps after mission start, with DL on and all the stuff on the MFD's it's dropping to 90+/-5fps and once the action starts it will drop to 60-70fps. This was just a quick test on my side.

Edit: pressing "pause" will get my fps immediately back up to ~140fps

The FPS drop due to the HSD/Datalink is less in SP than MP for me. SP mission is freeflight, and MP on the RSR server.

Massive FPS hit with Datalink in Multiplayer

Cuts my FPS in about half. System config is in my signature.

F18 experiences no such loss of framerate.

Same here, 8fps with data link screen on:(

.Only in multiplayer

If you click on CNTL, then PAGE 2, and turn off SAMs then the FPS hit isn't as much, rather than 20-25 frame loss, its about 6-8 frames below "normal" on Multiplayer, I hardly have any frame rate loss in SP.
