Duff Phlaps

So I've been having major stuttering since the last update. Every 2-3 seconds I get a 1 second stutter and it won't stop until I get irked and quit. I'm running 5800x3D, 64gb RAM, 6700XT...no VR...using OpenTrack. I did also have a recent GPU update. So far I've done the following: I've rolled back my GPU update, which didn't help. Deleted fx0 and metashaders2 Did a slow repair. Deleted fx0 and metashaders2 Did a fast repair. Removed all mods. Deleted fx0 and metashaders2 I've never had issues until recently and the game can no longer be played. Really bummed here and have no clue what's going on. I did see someone on 8/7/25 post something about: "WARNING BACKENDCOMMON (5424 Need to reprocess [DDS] image '/textures/door_Diffuse_RoughMet.dds'. Reason: Conversion requires - expanded pixel size, setting". I saw that in my DCS log as well. I've attached my dcs.log and DxDiag.txt. Any ideas? Really bummed out and if a future DCS update doesn't fix it...it's not worth keeping installed in this state. -Duff dcs.log DxDiag.txt

This thread is still helpful in 2025. DCS is like medieval times, where we pass knowledge through song and folklore.

Thanks for this! Instructions were pretty solid and I got it working just as you described. For some reason my Slider 1 and Slider 2 are swapped, but it seems to not really matter because it works! Thanks again!
