Hi Qcumber, thank you, but finding graphics settings was not the question. I have a setting for VR. The question is the bad performance that seems to be inherited form other session.

Performance "leak" / "inherited" bad performance ? Tried DLSS with my Pico 4. I used the pretty high graphics settings that I have for flatscreen, not my VR settings for this try (I hate that I have to reload the game when switching some settings -- and many times, from MT, it reloads the ST version, not the MT version!). Ka-50 III, Caucasus, free-flight. Was blown away how smooth that was in Godlike (well, for 72 Hz with reprojection, that is). Played around for maybe 15 minutes. Then I tried Mi-24 because previously it was a massive no-go for me in VR, having around 20 FPS and stuttering. Wanted to see how it improved. Well, it didnt. Still the stutterfest in Caucasus free flight. PROBLEM: After that, i tried Ka-50, same stutterfest, where before it was smoooooooooth. Then tried Mig-29, because they arent the resource hogs. Caucasus free flight. Smooth. Then tried ka-50 again. Stutterfest. Then Mig-29 again. Now stutterfest. Game restart did not help. This "leak" or "inheritance" is old problem, sometimes not even computer restart helps. I tried to search a lot about this. This doesnt seem to be vmemory leak, allocated ram was lower than the budget (in DCS builtin performance monitor) all the time, except for the Mi-24. QUESTIONS: Does this issue exist for others? How do i search for or report this, what keywords should i use? (I dont want to duplicate reports if someone already reported this) Why does DCS report my vRAM budget mostly at 6500MB (very rarely at 7200MB) when i have 8192 MB? I know my rig is not optimal (see below), but that should not be the issue here, as the game was running well.

If someother noob like me is googling the problem, here is another solution: DCS KA-50 module does not like when you have the same button set up for Firing guns and firing (releasing) missiles/rockets. I wont complain, just wont work. Doesnt make much sense to me since you have to specifically select the cannons (flip up the trigger cover?) to fire them, so there could be logic to not fire missiles when cannon is selected. Or maybe you can fire them both at the same time for soooome reason? I havent yet figured it out how to fire anything in manual mode (using the center of the HUD as target). Manual switch doesnt do that.

"Is there a user's manual ? " -- yea, wouldn't that be just the cherry on top Along with a troubleshooting section. For example: preset buttons do not seem to work for me when the build is selected. Before it was selected with the blue frame, the buttons worked, just they were unable to find the content, everything is "No data".

Hi Hillman, thank you, this successfully bypassed steamVR. 1) FPS is better maybe 15%, but the stuttering is now unbearable in 72Hz. It is better if i turn on ASW, and much better in 90Hz, but still not as good as it was before the bad stuttering and performance loss started last week (i did not change anything anywhere). I think Im going crazy. 2) I wonder what is the difference between 2.1) --force_enable_VR vs just enabling VR in the in-game menu 2.2) running DCS / other games in BAT in VD command line vs just running them after i launched VD 3) Now I am "CPU bound (main thread)" in free flight. I used to be "CPU bound (rendering thread)" with steamVR. In busy scenarios I am still GPU bound. But it should be the opposite, no? Should be CPU bound in busy scenes, GPU bound when not? Again, i think im going crazy. 4) So it is not possible to run openXR without steamVR? ... PC config in signature. Openbeta 2.8.4.39731. I decreased texture size since last week's stuttering started to troubleshoot. Water and view distance medium, everything else is low or off. Anysotrophic filter 16x. VD resolution im switching between Ultra and Godlike, ASW on. Since MSAA mask is not working in DCS settings. These used to be OK, when tried maxing unit count in mission generator. Before MT, i was able to have ground shadows flat, but with MT i have to turn them off. Without VR i get beautiful 120+ FPS with high settings. Otherwise, im a noob Warthunder refugee, and quite new to VR too. Havent really started playing DCS, just been experimenting with VR and settings, mostly free flight and some training missions.

If you change REG, yo do it via a BAT / CMD? If yes, do you run it as admin?

Hi @Hillman, your commands work for me, BUT for me, DCS without steamvr only starts in flat mode within the headset. I tried both with and without the --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR params. Any ideas pls? Using VD

Hi fellow feline, do you mean that if you create file in various ways, for example with notepad, to your desktop or elsewhere, and rename the file extension from .TXT to .BAT, you do not get an executable file?

Hi! I have a performance loss and stuttering increase since last week. Strange, because there was nothing in the patch notes to indicate. Using openbeta (MT). Anyone else maybe had this? (havent tried disabling steamVR via the BAT yet)

For me, High+upscale resulted in worse graphics and slightly worse performance than only High... 4790k, rtx3070, 32gb ddr3, 72hz
