reported earlier Major, Sudden FPS Drop

[wilbur81]

I'm getting (since one of the last two most recent updates) a very significant, sudden, and very repeatable FPS drop in the Hornet. (See the three tracks below). Here's the scenario:

 

- Frames go from a steady 58-60 fps to 6-12 very suddenly and the sim becomes unplayable.

-Syria Map

-Player in Hornet w/ one AI wingman at around 34K feet.

-Three opposing AI Vipers

-Seems to be associated with multiple AIM-120C launches (by me) or possibly my RWR warnings when enemy 120s go pitbull? Or maybe something to do with TWS support of 120c launches in quick succession?

- The FPS drop moments happen at sim times 08:03:22; 08:06:09; and 08:03:49 (as noted in track file titles) roughly speaking.

 

** Maybe of interest: I just flew again and with FPS having dropped to 6 FPS, an enemy 120C struck my Hornet and instantly frames went back up to 60 FPS as my jet was destroyed. Again this is a recent update that introduced the current bug.

Just tried this again and the drop from 60fps to 7-10 fps (at sim time 08:04:22) coincided exactly with the enemy 120C going pitbull and my RWR sounding the CW alarm in the headset.

100% reproducble.

I go from ~90 FPS to 9 FPS after your first missile launch ("080422" track).

 

FPS drop starts at 1:46.

Thanks for testing, Flappie! I'm surprised that no one has brought this one up yet? Hopefully it will be looked at soon.

We'll have to wait: ED devs are currently on holidays.

l'm preparing a list of verified issues so BIGNEWY can have a look as soon as he returns. I've added this one in my list.

[wilbur81]

Understood. Happy New Year, Sir!

Thanks, Happy New Year!

I am experiencing the same problem playing the F16 in instant action missions with a lot of missiles being fired like fighter sweep. FPS drops from 100 to around 5 until the missiles disappear then my fps jumps up to around 100 again.

[wilbur81]

Yeah, it seems like (possibly) the problem is associated with multiple 120C launches in the air. Again, this is a newer bug for me from one of the last two (I think) updates.

Same problem here, in multiplayer, but only as the mission host. Other players had no issue (apart from the network lag due to the host PC being frozen). Switching hosts solved the issue.

I have reproduced and reported this to the team already.

 

thank you
