@Roady @BIGNEWY Looks like I'll be out of commission for a while. I fell and broke my hip. I can't sit at the computer for more than a few minutes at a time. I'm supposed to get surgery later this week. I'll be in touch. Ray

Did you try the mission he posted?

@Roady It probably is that one mission. There's a whole lot of stuff going on there. You've got ground units and airplanes all over the place you got a sh**ton of triggers. it's a very complicated mission. Like I said I managed to open it but it wouldn't run well. I'm just about out of ideas so if you're doing okay on other missions then the problem is probably just that one particular mission there's only so much that any computer can handle. You may have just reached the end of your rope.

@Roady Your test mission is pretty heavily populated. Not really a good test subject and not one that just anyone can run. I don't have the F-16 and I don't have combined arms. I got it to open, but my poor little 1660Ti couldn't handle it. Do you have the stuttering problem with all missions or just this one? If so, then send me a lighter mission that shows the issue. How are your memory sticks installed? If you only have two sticks they must, be separated, not side by side. This is your Mobo. Install the sticks as shown.

@Roady What Motherboard are you using?] You gave me everything but that.

@Roady @Rapierarch Yeah. I'm kinda' stuck too. I'm leaning towards deleting affinity, (It is a program right??) Go into BIOS and reset the system for ultimate defaults or whatever your mobo calls it. In other words, go back to stock mobo settings. Leave the virtual memory & Afterburner where it is. I'll help you with Afterburner settings later. It takes some time to set it right. Meantime, download MSI Kombuster. It works with the Afterburner. Ray

Thanks Flappie, now I need to know what affinity is. Roady keeps dodging my question.

@Roady You keep mentioning affinity but haven't told me what it is yet The MT is only 2 cores right now. They plan to expand it soon though. Again WTF IS AFFINITY?

Sorry about the late response, I've been working on my income taxes. If you are in America, you know what I mean. I'm a little lost here. What is affinity? I don't know what PBO and Rebar is either. Did you adjust the virtual memory on your main drive as I suggested?

@Roady Yes, custom will open a box where you can change the size. Is your game on your main Windows drive or the new volume? Set both for 65536 and the same for maximum. Do you have MSI Afterburner? If not, download it and I'll walk you through it. It will over clock your 1660 Ti safely. It may not be possible to eliminate 100% of all stutters, but we can at least minimize them to a tolerable level. I have found that since MT came out, the stutters I have are much smoother and less noticeable with these settings. Ray

I have asked you twice about the virtual memory and you didn't answer me. If you don't know what it is and how to set it. here is a short video I made for you. Believe me, unless you have something else going on this will really help to get rid of stutters. This and the pri9orty to high in task manager. You may have to set priority every time you open the game.

I'm talking about your page file, not physical memory. With 64 on two sticks, you should have 64 X 1024 = 65536 page file. DCS is sensitive to not enough page file (virtual memory) Another thing you might try is Task Manager/Details right click on DCS. exe (game must be on) and select set priority High.

Put it in here. Saved games/DCS.Open Beta.

Just for Grins and Giggles how much virtual memory are you running?

Thank you.

It is now the end of March and the German planes are still not there. They show in the mission editor, but not in game. Only the German Mods are missing, (He-111, Ju-188 and the Ju-87 Stuka) all others are still there. I was flying the F4U earlier today. Ray

Yes I have. I was just curious as I haven't had a problem with this particular mission or set of mods. I did have a lot of Random Air Traffic scripts running. Could that have been the culprit also? I was mostly curious about the log file. I never could make sense of them. Ray

Today I was playing and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my frames dropped to 9-10. They stayed that way for approx. 5 to 10 minutes and then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere they went back to normal. ~60-70 Ish. There is a lot of interesting info on the log page, so if somebody can translate, please? Thank you in advance. Ray Edit, Additional thoughts: When the frames drop in MT, it just slows down to a smooth slow motion not like a jerky slide show which is what I'm used to with ST. @Flappie @BIGNEWY @NineLine dcs.log FPS Droop 1.trk

@Top Jockey Draconis is right

Yes. Make them all one group.

Auto on both, Hi TJ, sorry about my recent absence, I got called away on some family matters. How are you doing so far? I tried working with the CV-59 and I noticed that I got lower frames overall than on the SC. Empty deck or crowded didn't make a difference. At first I got 30 FPS on an empty ship, Then it started to work itself out and I got as high as 73. Might be something going on with that ship. My Supercarrier works well. Frames in the 30's and very, very little stuttering. Have you deleted the contents of the FXO & metashaders2 folders? Are you still using the "High Priority" settings in Task Manager? (You have to re-enable it every time.) Let me know how you are doing. Ray

What exactly does cpu bound: main thread mean?

@Flappie My game works ok, but I have a similar issue with Nvidia driver. I updated from 526.47 to 531.29 and I couldn't start my computer. It froze at the logo screen. It just wouldn't boot. I left it in the logo screen for 15 minutes and finally it booted. (slowly) I rolled back to 526.47 and it is now back to normal. Does this mean that I can no longer update my card? Am I stuck with this driver forever? It works just fine.

It's on Steam

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm afraid I haven't a clue what your problem is, sorry. Looks like it's more than just a replay issue.
