I'd be happier if they just gave an option under "Special", to turn them off like with the Hornet and Viper. One less mod to jack with.

Maybe they just have lower standards/expectations I know... NOT helping

Just started messing with this one. Should my night cockpit look like this? Also the hangar lobby looks like it's under water.

Is it just me or did they flip the aircraft 180* for the Fast Action/Caucuses/Take Off mission?

From my experience, that is high on the list of absolute worst map/missions to fly. I think it's mostly the application of whatever cloud preset it uses. Worst jaggedy edged, bouncy clouds in DCS.

I've managed to recover some serious fps by setting water to Low, turning off MSAA and applying SOH 2.7.7 shader mod.

Easily 3-7ms GPU frametime gain from high to low. This is running SteamVR SS @ 50% ... which doesn't bode well for cockpit clarity from my usual 80-100% Best improvement seems to come with MSAA OFF Even 2x loses 4-5ms

I'm just guessing here but, perhaps the problem is the new reflective water. Would it be a safe guess to think whatever code is applied to make a mirror reflect is also used to make the water reflective. We all know there's a slight fps drop with mirrors enabled (hence I never use them). Has the entire map (water) been turned into a giant mirror? I think it's been asked but, is it possible to simply turn off the new, reflective nature of the water?

60? Prior to the patch, I could run SteamVR SS at 90/100 and get 45 fps (motion smoothing) and maintain 14-16ms GPU frametime. Now, I can barely stay below 20ms frametime @ 70

That does the trick for me. FPS are back to normal, GPU frametime still take a little hit, but the stutter is gone. I mean, it's not pre 2.7.7 performance, but it's better than it was. You sir, are the man!! Thank you so much for that discovery. Edit: spoke to soon Allowed myself to get distracted, then later noticed I had set my SVR per game resolution to 60 (testing something else), once i put it back to even 80, down goes the frame rates and up comes the stutter, especially on any map with clouds set to ultra.

Is the update still online? I just tried to and shows I'm current... I had rolled back to 2.7.6 few days ago.

1.3 just released https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr/releases

Was just about to ask the same

I rolled back DCS to pre patch... haven't had a SVR crash since.

I had a whole thread about this somewhere... To this day, I still cannot even register my G2 because of their S/N. You want to call 1800-334-5144. Say "z series running windows" at the prompt

I have seen that behavior long before this patch. Usually on multiplayer servers, mine in particular would regularly do this while upon selecting an aircraft on the Batumi airfield. It would only last a second while being drawn or compiled, but the water is the first and only thing seen until the land appeared over it.

Gotta be the new water.

amen! I'm back to my previous glory, clarity and smoothness. 100/100 SteamVR SS

If it's any consolation, mine is crashing now too.

Tried opting out of WMR beta? That one used to give me fits with causing SVR to crash.

Get's 45fps back

Yeah 1.1 regains some clarity but gets me back to about the same as if I run at 80-100% SVRSS

No noticeable change after patch: however; While pre patch, I had always run SteamVR Super sampling at 100%, sometimes 130% and had great visual clarity, 45fps with motion smoothing and no stutter flight... I decided to start lowering it with this patch. There was no change at all until I got to 60% SVRSS(8:46). While I did get back to pre patch 45fps and very smooth flight, I did loose (expectedly) clarity. Is it possible someone simply fudged up the IPD multiplier or how it relates to SVR super sampling? latest fpsVR logs

Don't have a trk file or recording to offer up but I do have fpsVR logs. I had been away from DCS or my computer altogether for a couple months. First pic is where my performance was when I left, 2nd is last couple days. These are mostly flying FA/18 free flight, Caucuses.

on a rig I would hardly describe (mine) as old/outdated.
