JuliMonkey Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 After the latest update DCS got unplayable for me. The loading times have increased dramatically and when i am in the aircraft it stutters so much that it becomes impossible to do anything. This always happens on mulitplayer and almost always in singleplayer missions. Before the update everything ran smooth at ~50-60 fps. At first I thought the game might have a problem so I installed DCS completely new, but that didn‘t help. Then I checked if my software had any problems, however no better results after that. Now I am thinking about an SSD storage upgrade, because I run it on a HDD. Does anyone know anything what i can do?

Darcwaynard Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Definitely get an SSD. I have the 1060 with an AMD CPU OCd at 4.3 ghz and I struggle with frames. I would try and get a CPU that runs at least 4ghz.

What in general helped me, as the update to 2.5.6 caused a big performance drop on my pc, was to start with a new DCS.openbeta user folder. To test if that has any effect, you could rename the folder, so you can easily revert back, if it didn't help. Definitely get an SSD.

Predator-78 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Also try to rollback the Nvidia drivers, I noticed a big difference. The problem of server crowding remains, lag begins.

Blueleader Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hello, I noticed this problem with the Nvidia driver 445.75. It's necessary to install a previous version driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fab.13 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hello julimonkey, I own a gtx 1060 too And i am quite happy with open beta I noticed better performances with 3xx d Nvidia drivers My point of view is 3xx are good for gtx series and 4xx good for rtx series For a first step You should try to revrrt to 3xx Reset all nvidia settings Chose maximum performances on quality and energie And see if it's playable or not in a simple mission Next step will be about disabling tracking replay and hot plug devices Next step to be continued...

vracan Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hello, I noticed this problem with the Nvidia driver 445.75. It's necessary to install a previous version driver. My nvidia driver is 441.87 and still big fps drop on 2.5.6. Nice try but no can do. Maybe I will try 3xx version and see edit: never mind nvidia not having any 3xx drivers available for download anymore, except one beta version (no thanks) Anyway my nvidia driver works very well in beta 2.5.5 and other games, so that is not the solution. How do we disable track replay in dcs? Edited April 4, 2020 by vracan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueleader Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hello For information, I noticed a drop of around 25 FPS on the same sequence (F18 awaiting takeoff from aircraft carrier) between version 2.5.6 (open) and 2.5.5. By disabling the shadows in version 2.5.6 we recover all of the FPS !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fab.13 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 - my nvidia Control say '390.65' pilot version ( better than 4xx for my gtx 1060 given by fps counter : about 5 fps ) - Disable tracking in autoexec.cfg file see in https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208832 - Disable hotplog device in autoexec.cfg file too see in https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251377 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By disabling the shadows in version 2.5.6 we recover all of the FPS !? yes but disabling shadows always gives great fps boost.In other words, now to have back the same performance we need to disable shadows? no thanks I love shadows, especially in VR. ,at least flat shadows!
