Harlikwin Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) In that case, wouldn't we bear a share of blame when that happens? IMO its a shared problem. ED doesn't release stuff, anticipation and vitriol build, ED races to release "something", which is underdone/tested. Release fails to meet community expectations, and pitchforks come out. ED spends time fixing the last buggy release instead of working on new stuff. Anger fades as last patch is patched. Cycle resets... IDK, I'm usually they guy who wants a bit more polished product rather than a rash fix. I mean I wants it all fixed now too though, but I realize delaying it by a day or three is probably fine to avoid issues.

Paco Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 overall not a bad update. However, I have one mission for the FPS dropped from the 60-70 to teens. Not sure why. Paco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBot Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I just opened an empty Persian Gulf mission to check out the new water and and just panning the view up above the horizon into empty sky cuts the fps from 190 max down to steady 50. Edit: Cannot reproduce after restarting the game. Perhaps it didn't compile all the shaders the first time around.

SloppyJoe403 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I haven't been able to see the update myself, but other users seem to be reporting a loss of FPS with the new SSLR setting. I'd assume it's under the graphics options so maybe try finding that and turning it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralQuality Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Night lighting looks great! Frame rate seemed normal or maybe even a bit better. Just the first few seconds of testing, will try more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davee Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Notwithstanding the long download and install, all went smooth and did the usual update procedures resulting in a good startup and testing in all theatres.

Gryzor Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 After some testing, it seems that huge performance reduction happens in Caucasus map. In PG (even big cities) there is no such huge impact in FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoid1 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Seven hours to D/L through a very slow satellite ISP (ViaSat 10mbit/sec service). Pretty typical given the update size (17+GB for my system) - glad they scheduled it for today as my billing cycle and data allowance reset on Sunday. Plenty of snow to shovel and plow while waiting. For me, 2.5.6 loaded with no issues and the new lighting looks really nice. No effect on frame rates, but I have a fairly robust system (i7 6700 oc’ed to 4600Mhz, Rtx2080ti), but have not yet tried to implement the SSLR. Thx DCS crew for your efforts. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisuli Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Notwithstanding the long download and install, all went smooth and did the usual update procedures resulting in a good startup and testing in all theatres. Now for the detailed flight and mission evaluations. Thankyou ED and all, Cats . . . . Two things...no, three things! The three things I've noticed (with apologies to Monty Python) are the glacial download, slower startup, and they still haven't fixed the F-14 wallpaper. It's still an F-14D, and it still sucks. It starts up 'better' than it did; more multi-monitor aware and I didn't have to go through the usual mouse and keyboard show to get it settled. Real testing maybe later tonight, possibly tomorrow. Great job, ED. Given the slings and arrows of outrageous demands BigNewy has had to field it felt nice to see him announcing the release. Not sure if that was intentional, but I liked it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pctoptech Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Been testing for about 2 hours now, have tried F-18, F-16, SU-33, P-51 and all maps in 2.5.6. So far very impressive, there is more traffic and the traffic makes more sense. Water effects are great and lighting is a great change that could use some tweaking to perfect. For me on one monitor Performance is ultra smooth. I did see some shimmering from tree shadows on the Caucasus map.
