Rmnsvn Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 With the recent update the shadow problem is mostly gone for me. I get similar FPS looking around all the parts of the ship. But when the night comes my FPS just leave. I get around 18-20 looking at the Island. I would suspect SSAA but my SSAA is off. Also I get around 50-60 FPS flying around Dubai with clouds on 8-9. On the SC during daytime I get 30-40 FPS. I understand there must be a performance hit with the lighting but should it be this bad (30-50%)? My config is not cutting edge but I’d not complain if I didn’t get decent performance overall (and in the other sims with volumetric lighting as well). I7-7700HQ/1060-6gb Oh and the plane I fly is FA-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmnsvn Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Hi Please take a screenshot of your ingame settings maybe we can suggest some tweaks. thanks Hi @Bignewy, Thans for reply! Here's my settings screen. https://ibb.co/D8yLNTC I was a bit rushy to say that the issue with shadows is gone. There is some spot at the island which being in the field of view drops my frames to about 24 during daytime as well. I'm now not relly sure what to blame. My sys or shadows/lighting of SC. Maybe I just need to put some cash aside for new rig. Thanks Edited May 31, 2020 by Rmnsvn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 2, 2020 ED Team Share Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks, it maybe worth running a cleanup and repair or verify for steam users. Also go to your saved games dcs folder, delete your metashader folder and fxo. Then restart DCS and test. First load will take longer while it generates new shaders. Can you take a screenshot of what you are seeing in game also? thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

kreisch Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 And because of your FPS drop: Sometimes DCS does not enter fullscreen correctly - just ALT+TAB out of DCS, then ALT+TAB again into DCS and then press LALT+ENTER to enter full screen. At least on MY machine, this stabilizes my FPS very much. Hope this helps, kreisch Ugly-Squadron GamestarPinboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue seams to be more pronounced when looking from the bow at the island, ie at the lamps. This is what I see. https://ibb.co/1X5snXf Don't mind the FPS counter, I have shadows disabled here.
