Part of the Jester menu is cut off in VR on a RX9070XT. The Jester menu in the F-14 is not affected, and the F-4E Jester menu works in VR with a NVidia graphics card. Overall performance on the RX9070XT in VR is pretty bad. Therefore it seems more like a AMD issue, then a F-4E issue. Both rigs use a Quest 3 via SteamLink/SteamVR on a dedicated 5 GHz WLAN. AMD rig: RX9070XT, Adrenalin 25.3.2, Ryzen 7 5800x3d, 128 GB RAM, BAR enabled, latest BIOS AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.E Nvidia reference rig(not affected) RTX3090, Nvidia 572.83, Ryzen 9 5950x, 128 GB RAM, BAR enabled, latest BIOS AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.E

No issues here. But i'm offloading CPU load to the dedicated server to make more use of all cores and i'm massively using the BAR feature to push textures into system RAM. This comes at the cost of a lot of RAM. I'm currently using about 90GB of the 128GB in the system.

You can make good usage of the 9950x3d when you run the DCS server on the non-cached cores, while running the DCS client on the cached ones.

ALEA IACTA EST Just ordered a RX9070XT OC https://www.xfxforce.com/shop/xfx-mercury-amd-radeon-rx-9070xt-oc-gaming-edition-with-rgb

I got the odd Steam state fixed by installing the latest update for the standalone DCS server. Steam then did a successfull rerun of the update for the steam client version and verify in steam succeeded.

Already did this. DCS is in my Defender exclude list since the F-14 and F-4 issues a while back, the disc i've installed DCS has 1.9 TB free space and verify in steam doesn't really do anything besides tell me that "All 0 files successfully validated". Retry of DCS update gives either a "MISSING DOWNLOADED FILES" or "DISK READ ERROR". Ticket is open #183972.

Same problem here with the steam update, but my DCS installation folder has been already in the Defender exclude list for a long time and even verify files in steam doesn't work.

The 5070 is way cheaper (€800). A 4070TI Super is currently on par with a 5070TI (1200€) and about ~300€ more then a 9070XT or a 7900XTX (900€). So sub 1k€ it's only 9070XT, 7900XTX, 5070

Now that the NVidia 5000 series and AMD 9000 series are out, does anybody have performance data for DCS in VR to compare? 9070XT 7900XTX 5070

Nope. It's fixed by my provider. i would have to set up a entire new network with my own DNS and DHCP and then forward traffic to the gateway. Changing the DNS on my machine will stop some automation stuff and build agents that run on my machine. So there will pop up a window all the time that it cant resolve the server name via the external DNS ( which is clear because it doesn't know about local host names).

I still have the problem, because i can't change the DNS server without breaking the mapping of several services in my home network. When will there be a fix?

Since the last update my son and i can't connect to the DCS authentication server. His rig is running native DCS, i'm running DCS via steam on my rig. We both have the problem with authentication. So it's not a installation issue. All other network services work just fine. Error messages appear in the following order: In the Launcher: "Bad connection" "Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: -28 Using saved authorization." When launching DCS: Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: -28 Using saved authorization. Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: 203 Using saved authorization. nullnull

So it's not a bug, it's a feature?!?

I'm looking for a graphics card for my sons rig. He has a 5800X3D with 126GB RAM and a old GTX960. He'll get a Q3 for VR, but I'm still in doubt which graphics card to buy. RX 7900XTX ->24GB VRAM which is great for DCS, but the 7000 series had(still has?) serious issues in VR in the past. RX 9070XT -> Only recently announced, only 16GB VRAM, price tag yet unknown RTX40xx -> Unavailable and/or ridculous overpriced RTX5070 -> Rumored to require PCIe 5.0, we only have PCIe 4.0 on AM4 ... So to me it looks like 9070 if the price is right. Any suggestions?!?

nullHi, I've lost authorization to my F-4E. System time is set correct, i already did the cleanup - logout - login procedure. Validation/repair of game files also didn't help. Could it be there's a server issue with DCS or heatblur ?!? Regards buzzer null null

nullI attached the process monitor. Seems like DCS is doing a gazillion of unnecessary, redundant IO requests. Multiplied by the slower response from the OS due to the network drives this accumulates to the hangs. I've added the zipped procmon log for DCS.exe during the hang. DCS_PROCLOG.zip

Found out: It seems related to my Windows profile, because i've got some network drives mapped that are not always available. The question is: Why isn't other software affected? What does DCS differently when scanning the directory structure?

Most collections in ["countries"] are f'ed up. "by_idx" -> f'ed & mostly redundant to by_country, but in f'ed up way. "names" -> f'ed "name" -> f'ed & redundant to names "id" -> usable, but why isnt' it called by_idx? "by_country" -> usable Most convinient way to fix this would be if ED could add the WorldID key to 0-14 in "by_idx". The inconsistent usage of countryName, ShortName, ID (i.e. WorldID) in the API drives me crazy too. Why in the World do they have 3 primary keys? Especially WorldID starting with 0 for Russia making access to arrays via LUA impossible? This way you always have to traverse collections instead of direct access to a fixed length, fixed position array.

_G["countries"] is a mess. I'm currently trying to do some dynamic scripting, but mapping of countries is a complete mess. No matter which data i'm looking for, everything is completely inconsistent and messed up. Is there a chance this will ever get fixed? F.e. "names" is lacking IDs 1-14 "names": [ "UKRAINE", "USA", "TURKEY", "UK", "FRANCE", "GERMANY", "AGGRESSORS", "CANADA", "SPAIN", "THE_NETHERLANDS", "BELGIUM", "NORWAY", "DENMARK", "15": "ISRAEL", "16": "GEORGIA", "17": "INSURGENTS", "18": "ABKHAZIA", "19": "SOUTH_OSETIA", "20": "ITALY", .... "88": "NIGERIA", "89": "PERU", "90": "ECUADOR", "91": "AFGHANISTAN", "92": "NEW ZEALAND", "0": "RUSSIA" ]

Installed latest MSVC++, but it didn't change a thing. I've got the feeling it has something to do with file IO. null
