I looked through the thread you posted, and it looks like a lack of disk space was at fault for me. Thank you for your help though.

@Flappie process_list.txt

@FlappieI have MSI afterburner. No profile specifically for DCS.

@Flappie The G drive is not a factor, I have had the issue with and without it plugged in. Does this mean that you are out of ideas? because if so, I am kinda screwed.

@Flappieaccording to the RTSS overlay I did last night, most of the cores are empty. The CPU is not being used very hard except on 2 cores.

The first screenshot is prior to the stutters happening. The second one is with the stuttering going on. Flying over a city.

@Flappie Result of command prompt: AllocatedBaseSize=4096 CurrentUsage=97 Description=C:\pagefile.sys InstallDate=20210110110425.008750-360 Name=C:\pagefile.sys PeakUsage=356 Status= TempPageFile=FALSE I also have the screenshots you requested, in addition to a repost of a RTSS screenshot I had of my system during stuttering last night. The final pic is what the cockpit view looks like. It's worth noting that I flew over other towns prior to this one with no issue. Thanks for the help and good luck!

All of your suggestions were covered in the thread. They aren't a factor.

The text below is pasted from a reddit thread I posted in r/hoggit. here is a link to the thread. In addition the the information provided below, in the comments I posted a screenshot of my RTSS overlay once the stutters happened. I also tried halving the preload, which seemed to postpone the onset of the issue but did not stop it from occuring altogether. There is also a log file attached to this post, hopefully it will give you some insight better than I can. Any help would be appreciated! Basically, the problem is that, after 8-10 minutes of playing the game, my FPS will go from a steady 60 to an unsteady 2. Most of the time, it's more like .25, and it makes the game absolutely unplayable. This happens on the Caucausus map, when playing the default mission. I am flying the SU-25. The tutorial missions worked fine, however, there was next to nothing happening on them. Specs: the deep dive: CPU: 2700x -OC'd to about 4ghz. -Currently restricting DCS to running on processors # 12 and 14 using process lasso. Was previously allowing them to use all cores, but the issue existed then as well. -Cooled by an H100iv2 AIO. GPU: MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X: -OC'd to 1936MHz -Running around 62C -Running latest drivers (461.9) -Drops to about 2% utilization after 8-10 mins apparently RAM: 32gb Trident Z 3000: -Running at 933MHz according to task manager -OC'd to around 3200MHz IIRC Storage: 860 Evo SATA III SSD: -Has around 23GB free Display: Dell S2716DG 1440p, 144hz -G-Sync: Off (was on before, didn't help) -V-Sync: On Display 2: HP 22cwa: -Disabled, was enabled before but still doesn't help Windows version: 10, latest build. Game version: Latest, Steam Edition, Installed for first time yesterday -Textures, Terr. Textures, Water, Visib. Range set to high -Heat blur, MSAA, DoF, MB, SSAA, SSLR, Cockpit Illum, VSync, Droplets set to OFF -Civ traffic set to medium -Anis Filtering set to 8x -1440p -Fullscreen on -Clutter: 0 -Trees vis: 50% -Preload radius: Max -Chimney smoke density: 4 -Display res: 512 -Shadows: low I have tried the following: - Disable windows antivirus - Add exception for DCS in Avast antivirus - Disable hotplug - Turn off MSAA - Limit frames to 60 - Used process lasso to try and maximize DCS' utilization of 2 cores - Delete the fxo and other files The end result is always the same. Sudden onset, unending massive frame drops that absolutely eliminate the game's playability. Also, SU-25's autopilot seems to be nonfunctional. Any ideas? I have a Oculus Rift S on the way, was hoping to use it for this game. However, as unplayable as it is currently, I might have to go back to WT. dcs.log
