Am I the only one having issues with VA/Viacom lately? The transmit button constantly turns itself off. Commands don't recognize, lag, crashes, you know, hell on Earth, that thing.

OK I'm coming back to report POORER performance on my end. If really needed I can upload tracks but I just tried the Instant Action coldstart F16 Nevada and it is HORRENDOUS. Honestly I feel its worse... and though I have no fancy graph or benchmarking I can say from my eyes this one is REALLY bad. Also Voice attack seems to be crackling the audio when combined with DCS. There is no way around it. Since last 2.6 update my audio with VA is atrocious. (See Bugs-> Performance -> my post for more on this)

Hey I just wanted to hop on here and give some credit where credit is do! It is really nice to see a FPS patch come out this week! I am sure it will not be a major fix, but as I do own nearly all the modules and campaigns ANYTHING getting FPS attention is a blessed sight!! It is also nice to see the letters from Kate and other attempts at giving us more info and stats. If ED continues to head in this direction I feel we are headed for a better system as a whole, code-wise, developer-wise and customer relation-wise.. That's a lot of "wises" right there. I look forward to seeing if any improvements are made, AT LEAST its something to do!

Standalone OB 2.5.6 overhere I WISH!!! Doubt it but an update would be quite impressive

having issues with this as well except of me Voice attack has been messed up since 2.6. I have been posting in the VA forums as VA is really screwed up for me right now. If you have issues you may want post on the thread over there as well. Someone started a thread in the issues/bugs thread entitled "DCS and VA" I think.?

Gonna look into all these thanks! I also thought I read somewhere in THIS PATCH that ED tried fixing the problem with sound cutting out after devices go into standbye. It seems coincidental at the least, that after this "fix" now I have a bigger problem. If anyone from ED or who knows more could explain this, I feel like this might be where the issue went wrong. Just a hunch

I'm ready to become an Early Access customer for the new Vulkan Module! I already paid for all the other Early Access modules, and honeslty at this point all I care about is actually using DCS and it not being 3 months outdated and glitched to all hell. Vulkan Mod Early Access. Becuase slideshows should be reserved for black and white TV : )

This is why I thought it was weird to offer testing and sales during this time. People are gonna hop in the modules and find out they fly terrible right now. Dont get me wrong, I am totally glad that ED is allowing this! Its really cool of ED, no doubt. Its just the worst time to get into DCS right now with the FPS hiatus. Don't worry, Airasys, everybody is hurting right now. Anyway, congrats on the testing, let us know what we can do to help!

How would it be the laptop when the problem is isolated to a specific game version? Lol plus, this laptop has shown better performance than alot of the desktop FPS posts Ive seen!

No this is not something I am aware of?

On the Bar above click DCS World 2.5 - > Click "Bugs And Problems" -> "Performance" Or which ever applies.:smilewink:

Is this new to this patch or 2.6 in general?

I do see a lot of comments trying to claim this is mostly a VR problem and I can tell you it is not. I see countless posts in the bug section and off forum content that claims major problems with "2D". I also can take 5 minutes tune in and see that it is not right on my new capable machine. VR seems to exponentially make it worse indeed, but the hits without VR are very clear as well. I am certainly glad some 2D people (and even VR) report improvements. Just a basic forum scan with my eyes probably shows 1 outta 7-10 people having improvements. That's still good, but FAR from outta the hole. That being said, I am curious if ANYONE is having SOUND issues/glitches/etc as well. I am fighting crackling on my end and it is bad enough to be another gamebreaker even if the FPS TRIPLE in the next patch. :( Most likely I will be rolling back, but I do want to give this version a fighting chance to stay on my hard drive. If you do see sound issues or have any comments about this, please look at my thread in Bugs -> Performance

Yes indeed this is my concern as I feel the same way about DCS. This is why when I heard they were doing these free trials and sales right now I had to scratch my head. I am not complaining about these sales or trials, I just frankly would think this is the WORSE time for people to try DCS. I mean, I specifically tried DCS to see if I could actually PLAY it before I invested in it. The fact that DCS VR WORKED for my new system was what brought me over from a different sim!!! AGAIN the PERFORMANCE was the deal sealer. It wasn't the lighting effects, nor the graphics, nor anything other than the fact that it played FOR ME acceptably! If I was a potential new DCS customer, I would hop on the thing, see the FPS nightmare, the crackling audio and assume it was MY SYSTEM. This would cause me to move on to another sim. I would figure it was a sim too rich for my blood and come back IN FEW YEARS when I bought a new system. All the while never knowing this was actually a version problem and DCS would have worked fine under a differerent version. Now before you say this is just my way of doing things, I have already seen a few people be scared away from DCS in the last few weeks. Sadly I was hoping to recruit them...

I am sorry to add this among the many issues already, but I am having serious sound problems with the latest update. I have been rolled back to 2.5.5 for months and decided to try the new patch. After 24 hours of testing I am getting a constant crackling problem in all modules and scenarios. In the past I used to have this issue when removing my headset and resuming game. A quick restart of the computer always brought it back. Now I am always crackling and its maddening lol. From ...Crackle... start to ...crackle crackle… Finish... DCS is …Crackle... now always crackling. I do have all my device settings set to the same frequency and have had no problem anywhere else with persistent crackling. Thanks Fang

try looking at the picture.

I've been testing this latest version and I am coming up with more and more issues. The sound is terrible. Crackle Crackle cut out. Crackle Crackle Restart fixes it maybe temporarily but it comes back with a vengeance. No joke but the video I just recorded makes DCS look like a slow torture device in VR lol. Crackling sound and horrendous FPS. Long load times. You name it. I got it. Across all modules, warplanes, civilian, in all scenarios.

Um, What is this? Also I forgot to add that not only is the fps minor but the loadtimes have gone THROUGH THE ROOF for me...

If you look in the FPS troubleshooting you would see that many of us have been "rolledback" for months. Im more rolledback than Walmart prices right now. I have MULTIPLE versions.

Correct me if I am wrong but no its not an error. Some modules had issues with the "trial" and needed a new drm basically. Which is good cuz the shark fcs and others kept randomly asking me to renew my code.

+1. Except in my opinion a rollback should have been months ago...As I said months ago lol. Honestly it would be nice if ED could explain rollbacks. Not picking on anyone here, but I think we are all in new territory and doing things the old way is not working.

MY BIGGEST FEAR! Please dont let this happen...

Do not agree. I own all but the Yak. Campaigns as well and all show a hit on my end. A lower hit for warbirds and simpler modules but a core problem nontheless

This is what many have done since the beginning, and is probably a better idea than the stable.
