There is a video of how to turn off core parking on youtube, have to go through registry...Once its done, its done and helped my stuttering for sure...Until a Windows Update, I have had it reset to default on once or twice...so just go back and do it again if so...

Thought I might add the fact that using W11 Pro for server OS, I have applied a lot of settings that one would normally use to stop stuttering/lag/low fps on a pc flying as a client. Such as ED folder and saved games folder have Windows Defender exclusions, core parking turned off, HAGS off, ultimate power plan, turned off shadows and transparency, setting pagefile size, reducing mouse polling rate to 1000 or less, Game Mode off and disable USB selective suspend. Not sure how many of these are actually helping server performance but I figured since it works well for my flying pc, it couldn’t hurt for server either.

@Actium dedicated server is not multi-threaded... I rented a server for a few months with 6 cores/32gb ram and 10gb storage for mods. Ran a heavy mission regularly, after about 2 hours, missions started to have lag, desync and rubberbanding issues. I ended up building a server with spare parts after a huge hardware upgrade to my flying PC. Now running a dedicated server out of my home with a dedicated fiber connection at 1gbps up/down speed, i7-12700k CPU/Z690 mobo, Windows 11 Pro, 64gb of DDR4-3600 ram and a 2TB Samsung 980Pro Gen4 SSD with 7000mb/sec read/write speed. I now have several very heavy missions with 2400 static/ai units (think populated air bases with static aircraft, ground vehicles and ground crew all over the place...static units are in 1800 unit range, the rest AI/client units). Server gets rebooted every 5-6 days, mission stays up with resume on client to pause when server empty. Have had 10 people on from different parts of globe at same time and have absolutely no issues whatsoever...CPU usage, Ram usage, SSD usage, internet usage/ping all low with 10 people.

I just updated a large server mission to save with new update. All ground units are still appearing properly for me, verified visually with ctrl-f11 view that all redfor tanks, btr are still there.

As a mission creator/dedicated server host, after waiting for so long to see this feature come to fruition, its frustrating to see it so poorly implemented at start. No static object save, AWACS with orbit times, Carriers with ICLS, ACLS, Link4 as well as any AI unit with advanced waypoint actions wont be saved. I'm not sure which mission creators ED collaborated with to come up with the release features but there is nothing in here but things that will make a comprehensively built mission unusable after saving.

@-Scrat- i did a hardware upgrade and clean reinstall on my pc recently and noticed TrackIR/track clip pro stuttering after installing latest software, I think 5.5.2 or 3? Was using 5.4.2 with no issues up until that point. I got mine semi-reasonable with the latest software by setting custom smoothing and speed but I plan on giving the downgrade a in the near future. You can determine if the stuttering is from TIR by just looking straight ahead. If u have stutters like that, it’s not TrackIR, I got my stutters only when looking around which indicates it is most likely TrackIR issues. Also, set your fps to either 60 or 120. TrackIR polls at 120 so u need to have fps set to either for it to work properly.

Make sure you have completely uninstalled all of the TrackIR and Natural Point folders before reinstalling the 5.4.2 software...You can google the post about the full instructions. The simple uninstall app will not work. Also, make sure you have Windows Defender exceptions for TrackIR in 2 different places. You can google that part also.

On our server I had a mission that used AI mi-24, mi-28 and Ka-50 helicopters. On average it took 5-6 manpad shots to kill a helicopter and I also watched an Mi-24 take 10, yes 10 direct manpad hits before it was destroyed. One manpad should be able to bring down a helicopter with a direct hit and 2 should most certainly get the job done. This has been an issue for a ridiculously long time already and seriously degrades the immersion level and enjoyment of DCS. Can we finally get someone to address this?

@Special K It starts as soon as the main menu opens and stays that way even when flying. As soon as I close DCS completely, core usage drops down to normal. Setting affinity or priority does not change the core usage for me either. And at this point I have just about every single recommended setting implemented to stop stuttering, lag and get best fps.

@Special K Here is my latest DCS log file. dcs.log

That was for new stutter that appeared after I had messed with the settings in GPU Tweak III, the 100% core issue is still present. Ill send you a new DCS log when i get a chance.

@Flappie @Special K I can confirm that this is still happening for me, even with DCS main window open and it is same in game.

Thanks for reporting Flappie, I thought I was going crazy...

I’ll remove my mods again and start it up to get a fresh log. Special K took a look at it a few days ago as well when I posted in ED discord but didnt find anything concrete.

I noticed some stuttering 2 updates ago and its only been getting worse. Checked Task Manager and found 2 P-cores consistently reaching 100% usage even with just the main DCS window open and it stays the same in game as well. W11 Pro, Nvidia drivers, mobo bios all up to date. Removed all mods, ran long repair, confirmed core parking is off, hardware acceleration off, game mode off, high performance power plan on, setting priority or affinity, nothing makes a difference, all pc temps are pretty low so no thermal throttling... As soon as I hit launch button and DCS starts, its happens. Even in completely empty SP mission with only a single client aircraft... Specs are i9-13900k/64gb DDR5 6400 ram/Z790E mobo/asus 4090oc/2tb gen5 ssd Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
