RvL

My fps seems to be stuck arround 60fps in the dcs homescreen and when playing its just above 30.

Nope havent tried and on it now. Just tried the Steamvr app 'steamvr performance test'. My screen is going everywhere with enormous stutters and in seeing 2 screens. On my monitor the test looks fluent. At the end it says my pc is more then enough for vr haha. I will report back after trying what you just posted Funkster. Edit. Oke just checked it out. Had my registry key value already set at 0. Also all the other steps didnt make any difference

Have you ever been able to normally use the G2? Or has it always been a stuttery mess since the beginning for you? I do not think the vulkan update will fix this problem since its user depended and 99% of the g2 users do not have our problem. And mine worked great untill i did a reinstall of windows and steamvr/wmr.

Done that already going to Windows 11, and going back to 10 and again going back to 11 right now. Clean installs. Makes no difference. Only thing i havent tried is installing wmr/steamvr on my SSD where i only have DCS installed on. After that i think i have tried everything software wise. And to make it clear again. Steamvr Cliffhouse works fine, the WMR VR cabin also. As soon as a game starts the stutters appear.

Im not having this issue with the popup screen anymore. Wish i had just that instead of the stutters.

When it says "windows out of focus" im getting smooth 90fps. When its focused its back to 64 spiking into the 70's with stutters. When in OpenVRsettingsUX.exe and forcing DX11 the fps goes almost to a stable 90 with some small fps going up and down but it makes the homescreen almost totally smooth. In cockpit the stutters are still visible but way less without the DX11 option enabled.

You mean the menu where you can select motion vector and DX11? If so, i already tried those settings. But i shouldnt be needed to do all this to make this crap working again. I feel like this is rocket engineering searching for the holy grail. It worked without these stutters like 3 weeks ago or something, so this is making no sence why im having these issues. Been busy with this a lot of precious hours and getting pretty pissed. i want to enjoy DCS again!

Testing the G2 again the stutters are still there after again another reinstall of all the software. I used to not have these stutters even at 100% SS in steamvr, motion smoothing on at 90hz and having DCS set at 1.0 pixel density. I used the su25 first instant action mission as a benchmark. Now with these settings my fps is locked at 60fps with some spikes higher and lower with the stutters everywhere. When i put pixel density at 0.5, the stutters are gone and my fps is at a solid 90fps. When i set it at 0.6 the main hangar menu is mostly 90fps. In flight the stutters are back and then fps is fluctuating in the 80's Set at 0.7 my fps is back in the 60's with stutters everywhere. What the hell is going on?

Been busy for hours again today. Deleted open beta and installed stable (due to disk space). Even repositioned my cpu with new cooling paste. Deleted everything of Steam/Steamvr and WMR, again. Sometimes its even worse giving me again stutters in DCS homescreen with 60fps while other times homescreen is 90fps but then again still a stuttery mess being in the cockpit. I decided to install my Rift S again. And within 5 minutes installing it i put the headset on and started DCS, and everything was butterly smooth like it always used to be with a stable 80fps everywhere. So.. its a G2/steam/steamvr/wmr thing causing me the stutters and the unstable/fluctuating fps and not a DCS or other pc hardware related issue. But why is this happening? Is it software related? I have reinstalled everything multiple times by now without fixing it. And it used to work before i changed motherboards. Or is it a connection problem between the G2 and the usb ports on my motherboard? I have the latest bios and drivers that should have fixed usb problems reported earlier this year. Isnt there anyone here on the forum who has experienced the same issue im facing right now?

Thanks for your feedback 71st_mastiff. Unfortunately i never changed paths/drives, always installed it at the same right place.

Reinstalled W11 today, again, same performance with stutters as W10 did. Tomorrow im going to install the stable version to check its performance. Been reading in the 'Performance bugs" section of the forum a lot of guys having a performance downgrade since the latest open beta patch causing stutters. Who knows its just an DCS only thing. SteamVR Cliff and other demo's working perfectly, so it might be just only DCS causing the stutters and FPS dips.

I opened the OpenVRsettingsUX.exe to try those settings. Motion reprojection was disabled, tried all the options, steamvr per app, auto and motion vector. They caused the fps go to 36fps and some weird tiny visual artifacts but the stutters were still there. Also the DX11 setting didnt make a difference.

Checked it all, eventually it seems like the only thing that probably made a difference is selecting the SteamVR and WMR betas and/or slow repairing DCS and restoring Nvidia settings. After doing this my fps in the menu's are a stable 90fps again. But the most important thing thats bugging me is the in cockpit stutters no matter where i look, and this still isnt fixed. I cant seem to make motion smoothing being forced. Being in the DCS application menu of SteamVR and forcing motion smoothing my in game fps still goes into the 50's and 60's being in the cockpit. Having it forced i assume the fps in the main menu should also be forced to 45fps right? Which isnt happening. Even though, before when i just got my G2 still using my other motherboard and before i reinstalled W10 i didnt need to force it, it worked pretty great with not these stutters going on right now. So something else is still off, and i have no idea anymore what else to try. Its driving me real crazy again and iam thinking about going back to the Rift S having a simple menu with settings which just worked without all the stuff going on with WMR and SteamVR.

Did the uninstall following that guide yesterday without any difference unfortunately. I will check the Nividia settings again if there are any settings that must have automatically changed since i only changed power management to max. My motherboard has multiple USB 3.2 gen 1 and gen 2 which i all tried. Also updates to the latest drivers, but didn't check my bios to enable anything about USB ports. Thanks for looking for solutions firefix121, much appreciated.

thanks for the information @impalor

I recently switched motherboard and reinstalled windows and iam having bad VR but also bad 2d performance since. My fps isn't even a stable 90fps in the home screen anymore, it fluctuates between 70 and 93fps causing stutters. Also being in the plane (F14, A10C) iam having stutters most noticeable looking straight ahead and moving my head from left to right and vice versa. During flight its having a hard time maintaining a solid 45fps (Reverb G2) I thought this had something to do with my new motherboard, but it might also be the cause of the latest DCS patch, who knows... Driving me crazy though searching for the answer.

Except from checking hyperthreading, ive already checked all the stuff you mentioned. Things im going to try to see if they help. -Hyperthread settings - USB powermangement - Steam VR/WMR swithing to beta - Registry editor changes I believe my W10 is up to date, few days ago it said there were no new updates. Or do i have to manually install an important update which i forgot?

Thanks for replying firefox121. I've tried them all, making no difference. Also when i try the 'per application' settings, they do not seem to do anything. With the per application setting motion smoothing set to forced, my fps still goes up into the 50's and 60's. I just dont get it whats off. A few weeks back when i just got my G2 and was still using my other Gigabyte Aorus motherboard, it worked pretty good. No stutters. In homescreen and other menus a solid 90fps. In the cockpits of the A10C and F14 it was all smooth compared to the stutters now wherever i look. This morning i tried low resolution at 20% steamVR and the stutters were not there. But it looked like crap. When i went up with the resolution the stutters were back again at 50% steamresolution. Somethings not right. I used to be able to put even 100% steamVR resolution with even 4x msaa and not even having these stutters and weird fps fluctuation im having now. So since i had to swap motherboards and reinstall everything again this is happening. Is it my motherboard? Is it something in Windows 10 or DCS? WMR Cliff menu works smooth like it used to though.

I seem to keep having performance issues with my G2. I used to have a Gigabyte Aorus Elite v1. motherboard, and my g2 was working quite well apart from the as described ghosting/stutter when looking forward and moving side to side. And having fps loss when changing airframe, but alt tabbing out of the DCS screen and back in seems to solve this. When i tried to upgrade to W11 my screen went black and seems my motherboard settings cant be restored to fix it. But thats another story... I bought a new TUF B550 Gaming Plus motherboard, installed W11 without a problem. But mt fps wasnt stable and i decided to go back to W10. But the fps issues persist. Being in the DCS homescreen my fps used to be 90. Now its unstable fluctuating arround 90 with dips to 80 causing stutters. Going to mission editor also used to be a solid 90 and now fluctuates with dips to 60fps causing stutters. I tried to repair and reinstall DCS, upgrade bios, tried differend settings in DCS, WMR and SteamVR and Nvidia control panel, disabled HAGS, tried differend usb ports, updated all drivers. Nothing seems to help. Wish i never went for W11, would have saved me my other motherboard and a lot of headache time spending to fix DCS for many hours in the paste weeks. Also my Rift S worked great after i made some system changes like cpu and psu upgrade. Now with the G2 i feel like im 10 steps back. What am i missing causing this? What i also find strange is that testing in 2D my fps is 63, then can go up to 140 or even 200fps. And it can stay like that foe quite some time. I see my gpu usage go from 37% up to 99%. And without a reason, still looking up in the sky or even being in the F14 cockpit, it goes back to 63 fps and 37% gpu usage. Is that normal?

Been trying some things, but its not making sense. Disabled HAGS, no difference. Did a bios update, no difference. Had my G2 usb connected with the USB C adapter, and switched it without the USB C into a USB 3.2, and my fps went to a steady 90fps in the DCS homescreen. After i tested a multiplayer server which worked fine i went back to the homescreen, and back to stutters and a fps between 60 and 90. Tried this with some other USB ports on my TUF B550 Gaming Plus motherboard, and again, first normal 90 fps, after a game back to a fluctuating fps between 60 and 90 with stutters. Also once, homescreen was giving me 90fps, once i went into settings it dropped to 60fps. Never had this before on Windows 10. Thing is, i also have a new motherboard. So im not totally sure which to blame. But since W11 with DCS is known with these stutter issues my guest is W11 is the one causing it. Edit: I just read there has been issues with this motherboard using a G2 caused by the USB ports. But these messages are from almost a year ago. Does anyone know if by now with updates this has been solved?

Yes thats what i meant. Ive read this is already an ongoing thing for quite some time. I'll also will open a ticket, referring to yours.

Ah yes, HAGS, havent checked that. Last try, if thats not fixing it i will go back to W10, im within 10 days.

Updated to windows 11, and i cant get DCS to act normal. I have a g2 with a ryzen 5600x and a 3070 and my fps is all over the place causing massive stutters. When i start DCS World Open Beta from the moment im in the home menu my fps is somewhere between the 60 and 90fps causing stutters what makes the game unplayable. Sometimes the fps stays arround the 90 making the stutters go away but thats just for a few seconds. I've checked all the settings and dont know what else i can do to fix this. Before in Windows 10 i didnt experience this. Thinking about formating everything again and going back to Windows 10. Up untill now i feel 11 is a big waste of my time

Been talking with the shop, and unfortunatelly my board is out of warranty. I thought that by them giving me a replacement what happend less then a year ago, the warranty would be renewed again. But thats not how it works, unfortunatelly. So, im happy i already bought a new TUF B550 gaming plus motherboard the day the Gigabyte board stopped working. Im gonna try to revive the Gigabyte board in the near future. Thanks guys for your help and input. I'll let you guys know what the outcome will be.

Havent tried that. And right now i cant check if that makes a difference since i already installed another board
