Athalon020 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I purchased the F-14 yesterday and have seen some lengthy load times, however they seem to be much better in Single-player than in Multi-player. Specs: CPU : Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz GPU : Radeon RX 470 MEM : 16 GB DDR4 3000MHz Seagate 2TB hard drive (not solid-state) As mentioned, Multi-player loading times are significantly longer than Single-player loading times, but the way the plane loads is also different. Loading into Single-player, the plane simply drops into the world after the loading screen and is ready to go. In Multi-player, however, the plane first loads the cockpit as a gray model, then very slowly adds textures to the cockpit. The last thing to load is the reflections on the gauges and screens, usually a few minutes after the plane loads into the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the mission and your graphics settings (textures quality mostly) it takes much longer than SP. You're currently tormenting yourself staying with the HDD.

Tiramisu Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) About one year ago the loading times for the F-14 were acceptable and after the first few reloads it all went quite fast. Now I came back to this module and the loading times have significantly increased to about 5 minutes or more despite DCS being installed on a SSD. Since I am often reloading missions, the F-14 has become almost unplayable for me. Other modules (even the Mi-24 Hind) are loading much quicker than the F-14. Also my RAM usage is increasing to almost 28 out of 32 GB during loading. It seems to me like a bug. The task manager says that my SSD is at full working load, while my CPU and my graphics cards are not working very hard, so the reading times are the bottleneck here. My specs: AMD Ryzen 5 GTX 1050 Ti 32 GB RAM SSD-type: WDS100T2B0A-00SM Edit: "Wait for pooled task 2" is often the phase when it takes a lot of time to load. For other modules this is not the case.

Jesus! That's bad man. Have you tried repair or reinstall? I run DCS on i5 9600KF, 32GB ram DDR4 and GTX 1060 with 6GB, it takes about half a minute to load . Here is a sample of starting an instant action.

Tiramisu Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Thanks, a repair does not seem to help, although I can try it again to be sure. I have not done a full reinstall yet, but I guess that would be my last option, once I get a better SSD. For now I will simply avoid the F-14 and just hope that the performance gets better in the following updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope the reinstall works!

Do disk/SSD benchmarks results look fine?
