DCS World Patch Notes Discussion Thread

[speed-of-heat]

I just hopped into an MP server just to see if was single player only related and I can clearly see and feel the timed hitch, only seems to be in Syria map

 

 

@Mustang I'm not seeing the same , im also not seeing any shared GPU memory usage on my 1080ti card with 11GB of memory ... which might be a factor

Baltic Dragon for president! :worthy:

 

 

 

And thanks in general to all parties for this extensive list of improvements.

 

Just one thing I didn't see in the patch notes: "Has the F/A-18C glowing orb of light bug been squashed?"

Anyone tested yet? (not at my game pc)

 

What an absolute whopper of a patch! I bought this campaign and when I couldn't use the tank killer I uninstalled it! Well now, maybe it's time to enter the dragon!!!

Kudos to team ED!!!

Loving the new sounds for the F-16 guns! Thanks!

As someone else mentioned: I can confirm marked stutters/hiccups in the Syria map that were not there before- every 6-8 seconds. (1090ti,SSD, i7,3,7 ghz, 32 mb RAM)

 

Performance in the Channel map seems exactly like before, noticing severe frame drops when looking over populated areas (Ex. Ramsgate free flight).

Shame, was hoping the Syria map would be spot on this time round....

Why are the cows not listed? Such a great feature should get more hype!

You are kidding, right?! Cows are finally in???

Yep, PG and Caucasus maps are fine it's only the Syria map causing issue here - I don't own the WW2 maps so I cannot verify those.

I have just had a quick test flight and haven't noticed this - will try in more depth later

yes..... :megalol:

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

... and I can now confirm the same hiccups in Normandy (every 6-8 seconds) as in Syria. Both are Ugra, so that might be the reason.

I have just tried this map as well without stutters (in VR) so it will be interesting to see what the cause is

[twistking]

 

yes..... :megalol:

 

nice. i know, that they've become quite the meme, but i'm honestly looking forward to them. i think it can add realism and a sense of scale to the world.

 

do you have to put them in manually as units, or can you auto-populate an area with a trigger or similar?

[CommandT]

I am seeing a hitch in framerate consistency every 5-6 seconds in the Syria map, anyone else noticing this?

 

I have no hick ups with Syria. Same crappy fps as before over densely populated towns and cities, HOWEVER, a definite improvement in performance on airfields. Using same settings as before I now have mostly smooth fps on air bases and it used to be unflyable before so happy with that! If only densely populated areas now got some better performance that would be amazing. Also feel like the trees could be better optimized. Syria and Georgia.

crashes every start up, crash report sent

[update: I removed my usb wheel and my second usb keyboard, now it starts up fine again. Had never a problem with older dcs versions. Perhaps the way controllers are handled changed.]

 

Also crash on every startup. Tried your tip unpluggin USB racing wheel and it helped! However if I plug it back it crashes on start again.

I crashed trying to edit a mission I had successfully completed this morning. Crash report sent.

[cromhunt]

DCS world beta won't start anymore crash report send

[wowbagger]

Huge stutter every 5-6 seconds on Syria, Normandy, Nevada, and PG.

 

Caucasus seems normal.

 

:mad:

Hi all

 

if you are getting a crash please make a new thread here with your dcs log we will look into it

 

https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-world-2-5/bugs-and-problems-ai/game-crash-ad

 

ensure you have removed all unofficial mods including shader mods

run a cleanup and repair or verify for steam users

 

thank you

[wowbagger]

\Still stuttering. I deleted shaders, I removed all mods, repaired install - still getting stutters and Normandy crashes when trying to load (most times, not always).

 

 

edit: Gave up last night. Shut down the computer. Restarted this morning, deleted shaders again. Stutter seems fixed and hasn't crashed yet. Will now start re-enabling things like Vaicom and Tacview. Hopefully it will remain happy.

Performance wise seems identical to before in VR, channel map still poor FPS over populated areas, still have the Rapidly growing trees in Syria as well.

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

Regarding 8 sec stutter interval: My bad, it was a leftover mod. Mustangs shader. Disabled and performance in Syria is excellent. Also noticed: Dramatic improvement in Channel map at airfields, where I before had severe FPS drops. Now they are smooth. Cities still an issue for the Channel though.

SA342 Gazelle - the HOTAS trimmer and trimmer does not work (Beta).
