Thanks for this review. Can you compare the difficulty of this campaign with "Weasels over Syria" (the first one)? My experience with Weasels over Syria is mixed: great story/mission design, but very difficult for me due to the constant threat of SAMs and difficulty in find/lock groud targets... and lot of pressure. I thought that is my (lack of) experience with F16, because in FA/18 campaigns such Rise of the Persian Lion I play without problems. Thanks.

What about your bitrate setting with h264+? I manage a good latency at 200 for h264, but with h264+ @500 I got an higher latency/some stuttering. Thanks

Thanks for the replay. It seems that OXRTK was the problem: disabling it, the SS due to VD godlike come alive! However I appreciated your details for improving my VD experience, thanks.

I switch to VD due to continuos crash of link in the last weeks... but I ask some tips for a good experience: with Q3/7800x3D/4080 I set Av1 as codec and 150 bitrate/godlike res. I tried higher bitarate but I struggle a bit with latency. Do you suggest different res/codec/bitrate combinations? Thanks

Q3, 7800x3d, rtx 4080, 64gb6000. Openxr toolkit 1.33. The resolution scale up works in Le Mans Ultimate, but not in DCS that It Is the stock One.

New to VD: with the link, I played PD 1.5, now I set godlike and PD 1.0 but the res is not the godlike one, but just the one of PD 1.0. Maybe I'm wrong with setting? Thanks for help.

Thanks for your reply. I delete the ReShade layer (something that I unistalled sometime ago, but it seems some residues were still here, thanks for the tip), the Games\DCS\fxo and metashaders2 directories and exclude Steam folder from antivirus check. I played 2 missions for a couple of hours and everything run fine! Thanks again, it is the another problem that I had solved by this fantastic forum community!

A new kind of CTD after last patch, just during the loading, hope someone can help. Thanks dcs.log-20250605-145715.zip

here another crash log, if useful. dcs.log

Same kind of CTD here since the last update: here my log, thanks for help! dcs.log

Try to fly the mission for a while, than restart: in my experience the massive drops strongly reduced. I know it is not a fix, but maybe, if it is common, it may help developer to understand the problem.

It seems the same problem that I post some days ago for VR (here 7800x3D/4080/64gb6k). I also notice that if you refly the mission, the massive drops strongly reduced.

I notice that freeze are strongly reduced if mission is refly, maybe is a memory problem? I got 64gb at 6K and I Set Preload Radius to 30000 as suggested. Thanks

In the end i convinced myself that it is a question of performance in particular situations. Always in the same campaign, another mission, no freeze. Probably, even if there is enough headroom and the fps are ok, here and there, sudden and momentary fps drops can happen during taxi/take off/landing. The solution of silverdavil - turn down details - may works considering that seems mission-dependet, but this is probably something I have to live with, as it doesn't make much sense to significantly lower the details and have 99.9% of the flight with +50% headroom just for a couple of freezes during taxi just in some mission/theatre. In any case, it leaves me perplexed to see so many errors in the .log despite a "clean" installation

Here my last log after uninstall/install, with similar situation. Please note that my pc is brand new (just a couple of weeks, so no mess with OS or drivers, just an ssd transfer with steam, but theninstall/isinstall procedure should delete any old problems). Thanks. dcs.log

Hi, It Is connected by original link cable. The loading is about 2 minutes. Today I unistalled-installed dcs, I'll check ASAP. Thanks for support.

Thanks for your replay. It is weird because: I never installed a mod in DCS, I don't have the oh-58 and the log is from a mission of an official campaign with fa18 (ops cerebus north)! To be honest I don't remember texture install, except (perhaps) from a couple of official campaign or well known free one. However I'll try a repair, thanks!

Here the log with a bit of fps drop at taxi/take off. Thanks for the support! dcs.log

Hi, I made some tests turning off AV and changing pre-load but I didn't notice any effect. However I better understand what happen. Maybe freeze is not the right definition because it is strictly associated to heavy situation when headroom are not so much (about +10% GPU). So, it happen a big frame drop just for a moment (eg. during a turning in taxi) than it is all ok. Can be related to the huge map (Syria)? Thanks

I got Avast, no exclusion seems available for defender. However I put an exclusion for Avast and I'll try. It is a bit strange to me because it happens just in at ground or near at it, but I'll try your suggestion, thanks!

Hi, I play VR with 7800x3d/4080/64ddr5@6k with almost all gfx setting at max and I got very good headroom (never below +30% for both CPU/GPU). However, expecially when taxi or just before landing, I got some "freeze" for a moment (not a stuttering, just a stop and go), just as a loading is underway. With my old PC, with lower setting to achieve some good performance, I never notice this problem. Maybe is due to a specific gfx setting that I maxed out? Thanks for help.

Yes, it was a DCS bug: fortunatly it seems solved, becouse I just play the M5 without problems!

It is the best campaign I play but this mission is too much difficult and (IMHO) a bit unrealistic compared to the others... there are too many SAMs, no SEAD AND bad weather... 3 problems at once that made the mission a bit "arcade".

No overclock here (MT) and no zip folder for this crash. The VR freeze/crash happen in other situations, I add a different log. Thanks dcs.log
