I was kind of okay prior to 2.9.15.9509, and 2.9.15.9599 is dead in the water now. Has anyone sounded the alarm to the ED tech support yet? Should I do so?

Sorry, it is out of my knowledge to help here anymore. However, I would like to learn if it has something to do with the 576.15 driver for Nvidia 50xx if I get one in the future.

Agree, it is not hardware issue beside the hardware should be able to perform very good result. At this point, we have done what we can try.... Want to try ED tech support?

What were the CPU/GPU utilization then? I have tested with affinity with P-Cores only v.s. affinity with P/E-cores (default by DCS), they were not too much different on my 12 P-Cores and 8 E-cores. Beside, ME runs with the CPU bound in the most of time (my CPU was about 28%, GPU was around 20% for 4080). While played around NV driver, and I got my display refresh rate become 30 MHz (not sure) so my FPS was low around 30 (hope it is not a case).

I had dropped my dcs.log into the discord dcs-log-analyzer and the app-bot got me back with the following message: Is it okay? Thanks.

FYI: one user also complained the related issue (may not be same). He ran the GPU stress test, and he got very low FPS from GPU.

This entry and related log have been removed from discord completed.

Okay, it explains why dcs.log said: system affinity mask: 11111111111111111111111111111111 process affinity mask: 1111111111111111 all cores are available for dcs.exe but dcs can use P-cores only. In my opinion, if we can disable PL for once to try out.

I think PL does something more than just applied the CPU affinity. According to the attached dcs.log: 2025-04-22 22:45:39.244 WARNING APP (Main): ProcessLasso is running Sorry, I missed this one However, I am still interested that DCS simply ignores all E-cores for its IO core usage... Is it caused by PL?

They are same. Process Lasso is not required anymore for the most recent DCS version, instead it causes some issues according to some users.

I found out that my HDR was enabled for some reasons, it was much better after I disabled it.

I am wondering that not few E-Cores were used by IO Cores, intertesting.

I saw a YouTube video that a user replaced his Thrustmaster with Moza with the existing Thrustmaster mounting. He was able to mount Moza on it in the most of holes not all and he realized the base was moved during playing. Ended up, he still got the Moza plate.

I guess that the patch has no impact for users who have the topnotch hardware.

@Nightstorm, thanks for posting and I am glad that I am not only one felt the performance issue after patching DCS However, I am wondering that will the new patch does not impact who have better/best hardware?

Hi @Qcumber, I have checked the provided topic and thanks for testing with different settings so that I have kind of ideal if I get 5080/5090. Thanks again!!

Hi @Qcumber, if it is possible that can we try F-4 in Afgh map from the instant action? That action has lots of ground objects. Thanks!!

@Qcumber, thanks for the very important information, specially in a situation of the play contains many objects around with 72 FPS.... it is still very good FPS. Can I assume that we can pull the most of DCS settings from medium to high (maybe ultra) without dropping FPS below 60 FPS (I am kind of conservative)? Thanks.

Thanks for info. I would like to learn base on 5080 more if possible? There are my questions: 1. How is the utilization on GPU in average for FPS @ 90 and the CPU utilization? 2. Is it in OC or normal settings? 3. When fly low closer to the ground or tree, will FPS drops a bit? Thanks again.

Thanks!!

Moved it into the "closed" section. We do not have this report in our list

Mime is Thrustmaster

What would be the scenario or the action to cause the audio "stepping" bug before the fix? Thanks.

Please review the following video: I had moved my throttle back and forth from engine idle to AB in different movements (slow/fast/very fast). Please let me know if any comment for it. Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation.
