My DCS setup is as follows: SSD Partition 1: --- Boot disk, Only Win 10 and all AppData and User stuff SSD Partition 2: --- Windows Temp folder. (Before it was used for X-Plane 11) M.2 Only Partition: --- DCS, X-Plane and other Simul. Other HDDs: --- All other kind of software and personal files, music, etc. So basically all DCS files are in Solid State storage like yours, the only difference is that my Temps are not referenced to the boot partition (although its the same SSD physically). By the way, my TEMP and TMP are referenced to the same folder. Maybe your stutter has to do with something else then. Regards, gercarst

Hello everyone, I want to share one part of the solution to stutters (as there are many causes that seem to produce them). My problem was random frequent stutters in the 3D world on any mission, aircraft, multiplayer, single player, theater, VR, non-VR, game settings, etc. (I had a small SSD used only for Win10. DCS was installed on another standard HDD). Tried many suggested forum solutions (Windows Game mode, game bar, USB polling, NVidia settings, etc.) without success (at least for my system). Lastly, I moved DCS to a new SSD drive (M.2) and although the loading times were a breeze (thankfully!) the stutters persisted. Researching deeper, I found in Windows Task Manager > Performance tab that every stutter was in sync with an access to the old HDD. So I opened the Resource Monitor and found that DCS was reading/writing a .bin file to that HDD inside a Windows Temporary Folder. So I closed DCS and opened in Windows the System Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab > Environment Variables...(button), then in "user variables" changed the drive letter of the TEMP (and/or TMP) variable to the SSD's drive letter. Opened DCS and voila! That stutters were gone! So I found two important things: 1) A SSD it's a must, and 2) Make sure your Windows Temp folder is also on a SSD. Hope this helps someone!

Hey, same problem here, tried the same possible solutions without success. Haven't tried a VPN, but I don't think that's a real (lasting) solution. Cheers.
