Zius Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Due to circumstances, I hadn't started DCS for about a month. Now I had some free time, downloaded the last updates (open Beta) and started DCS. One month ago, I had all settings on "high" and got decent FPS. Sometimes, e.g. with a lot of AI aircraft it could stutter a bit but mostly it was pretty smooth. Now DCS just freezes when in the cockpit, then stays frozen for a couple of minutes and ends up with maybe 1 to 0.1 FPS. When I put all settings on "low" it becomes more or less playable again but is still slower than in the past, as well as looking much worse. I have already tried several things, like deleting the "fxo" and "metashader" folders, turning vsync on, etc, but no success so far...

tintifaxl Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I don't have that problem, so I guess it's something on your end. Freezing when entering a mission points to a problem while loading textures. Could be the disk has a problem.

DerwischGER Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Or could it be that you're playing on a laptop and the game is somehow using the integrated graphic chip while it used the dedicated before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zius Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 The first error is: 2019-10-24 20:26:13.662 ERROR DX11BACKEND: DX device removed. Reason: 0x887A0020 Seems to be related to graphics card driver problem. I just downloaded new drivers from AMD. DCS loading screens seem to be a bit faster than before, but now DCS just plain crashes when loading the mission (final stage before entering the cockpit).

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 24, 2019 ED Team Share Posted October 24, 2019 You DCS log says you are using "Intel® HD Graphics 4600" this is below minimum spec, please ensure you are using your dedicated GPU for DCS I know it sounds silly make sure your monitor is plugged into the correct GPU and not your motherboard :) Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Zius Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 I know it sounds silly make sure your monitor is plugged into the correct GPU and not your motherboard :) (Cough) (various swearwords) (Cough) Actually the situation is back to normal now... Thanks for the tip! I could not imagine I made such a stupid mistake but apparently I did it anyway... :thumbup: Modules: Bf 109, C-101, CE-II, F-5, Gazelle, Huey, Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, Albatros, Viggen, Mirage 2000, Hornet, Yak-52, FC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
