Very strange behavior with 2.5, Almost anything takes 20-30 minutes to load for me sometimes longer. This extends from a simple custom mission with just a f15 and a kc-135 to any of the prebuilt missions and occurs in multiplayer.
When it does finally load usually the game runs very well, better frames on average i think than the release version, however at times seemingly related to shader cache (missile launch, ground unit exploding, aircraft crashing to ground and exploding) and sometimes in less obvious times the game will freeze for 20-30 minutes at a time as well. Then eventually resume to a normal state where again performance is actually very good.
Specs:
i7-4790k
980 classy
16gb ddr3
game is on a seperate raid 0 drive out of two samsung 850 evos.
dxdiag is attached.
It is also a fresh install. I have been running a separate release version install without issues, it is just relegated to 2.5. I have been collecting logs from my sessions but there is not really very many crashes, the game just takes a very long time to load or hangs up for a long time mid session. Sometimes the game will either fully hang up i think or it has just taken so long to load that I will lose patience because it has been an hour or hours and kill it with task manager. I am not sure if the logs will help specific events causing the issues but you can see the different time stamps at certain points where things can take very long to change and will be happy to upload them if it is recommended.
Hoping to see if anyone else has experienced this, if ED can help at all and also if anyone from the community has some suggestions to attempt. I feel like I have tried alot of options at this point, i have fresh saved games folder for dcs, its a fresh install, i have messed around with nvidia settings and in game settings. Nothing has made a huge difference. I think removing msaa and deferred shading as well as changing the nvidia PRF setting to 3 has helped with the in game hang ups somewhat, and it seems when the missions do finally load restarting from in mission is less troublesome as well with the changes in settings. But the massively long load times persist . Thanks in advance. DxDiag.txt
