    Should paste it into bin and bin-mt as DCS now runs entirely multithreaded so shortcuts pointing to bin directory will still run MT so the dll will need to exist there as well for folk using that executable.

    Complicated on first setup, yes. I see it has changed a lot since I used it with my old card, I just used to use the vanilla script there. The improvement is that DCS releases new and modified textures and base files. If you use the Taz optimised ones then they will be out of date with what is used by the core game, so may potentially have unexpected issues, e.g. using older files which have since been replaced. Was just a heads-up in case you see problems and that you should repair the game to get the correct files again.

    Also on Windows 11: Disable game mode Disable Hardware GPU scheduling Disable core isolation Disable core parking

    The horizontal and vertical focal area in the Companion app do not control the fixed horizontal and fixed vertical section values that you will be using in your Quest 3 (the app only supports eye-tracked headsets for those values). By default they are 0.5 and 0.45 unless you modified manually in the settings file.

    Some quick thoughts on your settings: Your headset is at 72 so change your DCS Max FPS to 75 Could drop your preload radius to 100000 (or even lower) so you're not loading a bunch of stuff you don't need Change "Res. of Cockpit Displays" to 1024 to make your MFDs more readable. Performance wise it's a better option, up to you, but I'd flip it so that textures are high and terrain textures are medium. Although in saying that the visual difference in the textures between medium and high in the Apache is next to nothing. EDIT: meh, you're flying low and detail is nice so leave those for now and revisit later if you want to try. Forest visibility is a perf hit as well, this one you can alter while flying so can quickly get feedback if decreasing helps anything Any reason for the 0.9 render resolution setting in the Meta link app? Are you modifying this somewhere else, e.g. DCS PD? You're using both Quad-Views-Foveated and OpenXR Toolkit. Is Quad Views enabled in the DCS VR settings? What settings are you using in Quad Views and the Toolkit? Debug mode enabled in both (it's on by default in Quad-Views-Foveated)? Resolution being increased in those, e.g. Quad-Views-Foveated is 1.1 by default? I don't use the Meta Link app (I use Virtual Desktop) so somebody else will need to weigh in on your Oculus Debug Tool settings. The Encode Bitrate might be a bit high, have you tried with lower values, or even default?

    Neither of these logs contain a DCS crash, which may indicate that Windows killed the process. Can you run the Windows DxDiag tool, save the output report, and drop that here as well please.
  7. sleighzy
    As these can get out of date, e.g. there have been changes to textures in the game that won't be reflected here (don't know the consequences) there is also this script you can run to optimise your current latest textures.

    I've dropped your DCS log file into the DCS log analyser which had the following feedback. Note, these items are performance related so are aren't strictly the cause of your loading time problem but worth resolving given the impacts that they have (and may help with that). Turn off SSLR. Turn off SSAO. Disable civil traffic. Consider using TAA instead of MSAA. In addition to this I see you are also using the OH-6A mod, along with the gunner export script. This has known performance impacts on multiplayer servers with a large number of units. The advice on the GitHub site calls out this performance issue as well and has a recommendation to remove that script. Remove gunner_export_hook.lua from Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Hooks to avoid it (Doorgunner won't be functional anymore) The log analyzer also states that your Windows version is out of date. There may be performance improvements in later versions. If you haven't already then add an exclusion to your entire DCS installation directory in your anti-virus software.

    Awesome-sauce!! Hopefully all continues well. Happy flying.

    Please attach your "C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log" file (might just be a text document named "dcs" if your Windows is hiding file extensions). Make sure you've loaded all the way into the game and replicated the issue and not just the launcher.
  11. sleighzy
    Can you also increase your custom page file to Initial and Max values to 32768, click Set, Apply, and restart your PC. Decrease your DCS Preload radius setting from 150000 to 60000 or less.

    The DCS log does not contain any crashes, so is probably Windows killing this, hence my request for the DxDiag report which shows the last 10 crashes in your system and the processes involved. The DxDiag report shows numerous Blue Screen crashes (codes 7e, 3b, be) which appear to quite serious. It also contains a hardware failure (code 141), but may just be related to GPU drivers. Make sure you've updated all your Windows drivers to the latest versions. Can you run the a command prompt (cmd.exe) as an administrator and then run each of the below commands individually and then restart your PC. dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup sfc /scannow chkdsk /R /F /X The LiveKernelEvent 141 error is usually associated with hardware problems, especially related to the graphics card or power. For this one you can try reinstalling your graphics driver to see if it helps. You may need to use DDU to completely remove the old driver and install the latest if a basic driver reinstall doesn't work. There may be hardware issues somewhere, but the above may help with this. How much free space do you have on your SSDs as well, especially any that are hosting your Windows or page file?

    Open the Controls settings, like how you bind controls for planes, there should be a "Disable hot plug" button down the bottom right. It will stop DCS from scanning for new USB devices every few seconds which can cause stutters etc. If you plug in a new device you can just hit the Rescan devices button beside it.
  14. sleighzy
    I haven’t run this script but if you go to Option 3 of that link I posted previously it has steps a batch script (and location to zip file) to recreate your Saved Games folder. You should then be able to copy the DCS folder from that other Saved Games location you have and paste it into that one so you still have your DCS config and control bindings etc.
  15. sleighzy
    Might be worthwhile checking the datetime stamp on the Saved Games\DCS\Config\options.lua file as well. DCS will read and write your settings to that file so if it can't locate it then some of the settings you're making in game may not be maintained and hence give you false results.

    Like @rob10 said, remove your mods and run a slow repair of the game. The log file also does not show a crash, so it may be Windows killing the process. Run the Windows DxDiag tool, save the output report, and drop that in here as well. Additional feedback from the DCS log analyzer: Enable Full Screen mode. Consider using DLAA. Decrease Visib Range to High or lower. Set Textures to Medium. Turn down Anisotropic Filtering. Disable civil traffic. Set Water to Low. Decrease Terrain Textures. Set Clouds to Standard.

    I don't know if you play in VR, but if you do then check your DCS log file for the below line in case it's still hanging around: Name=XR_APILAYER_reshade
  18. sleighzy
    If you've got the performance and clarity (and no shimmering / jagginess) without the need for this then no. A number of folk on 4090s try to avoid DLSS as it does introduce ghosting and blurriness. DLAA is also another method I see some folk on 4090s use to get a good compromise.

    It's there on mine. See also this guide: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/move-or-restore-default-location-of-saved-games-folder-in-windows-11.8717/ Like I said, moving the way you have can break this and your profile. You can try move it back and repeat, but it is potentially broken and you'll need to reference a guide for restoring your profile. There are steps on that guide as well for restoring the Saved Games location so could try that as well to unbreak it.
  20. sleighzy
    No, you shouldn't move your Saved Games folder by just copy/cut'n'paste. This will break your profile and other things as it is a system folder. Will also mean DCS may have issues if it attempts to load, e.g. settings/config or save data to that location. You should change the location using the correct process of right clicking on the folder, going to the Location tab, and then clicking move.
  21. sleighzy
    Can you run the Windows DxDiag tool and then save the results and attach here. Also disable hot plugging in the DCS controls settings.
  22. sleighzy
    Your issue is unrelated to the original post here so you should raise your own post. Perform the following below, restart the game and replicate the crash, and then attach the logs to a new report. Reduce your preload radius to 60000 Update your custom page file to 32768. Make sure that it is the only page file on your system and is on your fastest SSD Delete your fxo and metashaders2 folders in your Saved Games\DCS directory
  23. sleighzy
    You on an old version? Single threaded was removed a couple of patches ago, both exes are identical and DCS is multi-threaded only.
  24. sleighzy
    Your game contains a large number of mods, along with a number of IC failures for texture mods, and some script failures. Remove your mods, perform a slow repair of the game, and then delete the fxo and metashader2 caches prior to starting the game again. A few other tuning suggestions from the log analyzer as well that may help your game performance (take it or leave it) Turn off SSAO. Turn off Depth of Field. Turn off SSLR. Set Water to Medium or Low. Set Shadows to Medium. Turn down Anisotropic Filtering. Set Preload Radius to max. 60000. Disable civil traffic.
  25. sleighzy
    Drop your "C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log" file here (might just be a text document named "dcs" if your Windows is hiding file extensions) after loading into a mission.
