SCUDMuffin

Thanks Andre... I had the stutter with 2.9 as well, but tried it again. Still stuttering. Its very apparent. As soon as SSA begins creating feedback signals I get almost unplayable amounts of stutter. The moment I terminate SSA the game goes back to super smooth. I am running Open XR and everything is up to date. I've tried uninstalling all other 3rd party programs and it makes no difference. I'm not convinced it is an SSA problem, but rather something with how it is interacting with my computer. I don't know what to do.

Thanks Andre, but I can't find the link to 2.5.10 Beta on the website... Unfortunately, 2.6 and 2.5.10 Beta are giving me the same stutter issues.

Just updated to 2.6 Stable. I can't find 2.6 Beta on the website. The Beta link takes you to the stable release. Nonetheless, I am still getting the same stuttering issues whenever SSA is running, only now I get no output to the amplifier as well. No feedback to the seat but all the stuttering. I have narrowed it down to SSA and not the sound module, as I have shut down the sound module and the lag still happens with just SSA running, but the moment SSA is terminated everything is smooth. I have also ran a few DCS repairs to no avail. Looking for help. Thanks!

Looking for help! I recently did a fresh reinstall of DCS and now SSA is causing massive stutters and spikes to the point it is unplayable. DCS is smooth as butter, but once SSA connects I get stutters. The stuttering is directly proportional to the amount of feedback (ie I pull more Gs or throw out the speed brake and it gets worse). I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Beta and stable version of both SSA and the sound module and it still happens. However, on the stable version I only get some of the feedback data (Gs and weapons) but I am missing others completely (Speed brake, gear, engine rumble). With the Beta I can get smooth operation every once in a while but without any consistency. I am on DCS 2.8 with SSA 2.5.10. I have tried fresh install of the software multiple times. PC is all up to date. I have removed any other 3rd party software from running and it is still happening. I have tried it with the Buttkicker hardware not even turned on and it is still happening, so its not a hardware issue. I have tried a different USB port for the audio out. I have deleted the export.lua and had SSA rewrite it. (attached) I have tried starting SSA first, and DCS first. It doesn't matter. I have checked to make sure I do not have two instances of SSA running. Someone please help! I am stumped... Thank you!!! Export.lua
