Bought this the other day and I'm loving it. Only just completed the second mission - wow. What an amazing piece of work. Nice one

I use a 4k Asus Predator, however for DCS, I use my Rift :-)

That's exactly the link - cheers SkateZilla :-)

OK, fixed my issue. I put a line in an autoexec.cfg file that sets affinity across 4 of my cores which stops the single core bottleneck. Apparently DCS will do this automatically for some machines, but for mine it was locked at a single core - the autoexec.cfg line has sorted this!! Happy days. I'm just glad I found a workable workaround that is hassle free :-D

Fantastic - never knew that! Cheers mate.

Apparently some are set to all cores and some are not. Just depends on the system I guess. Mine is set to only have core 0 checked. I have found a fix though, means adding a line to the autoexec.cfg file. I cannot find this file in my save games/DCS/Config folder - has this changed now?

Me neither - It's all set correctly in BIOS, all set up correctly in Windows so don't know why DCS does not run all cores off the bat. Maybe an X299 chipset issue with DCS?

Hmmmmmm. Thanks for the heads up on this. Must be a BIOS setting I missed or something. I'll look into this tonight. Cheers guys.

I had probs on my new rig - microstuttering and spiking frame rates. I have 32 gigs of RAM and couldn't figure out what the problem was. A mate of mine suggested I look at the performance bottlenecks. I opened up task manager and CPU, then looked at individual cores. My prob was not RAM or GC probs, but only one core being used to process DCS. That was causing the issue. Went back into task manager, details tab, right click on DCS exe and go to affinity and set all cores (only seems to work when in 3d world - not GUI). This spread the workload across all ten cores and now I have no bottlenecking and the whole sim is smooth as butter - in VR and in all scenarios (constant 45 fps in VR). So, question is, why no multiple core support? Why do I have to set affinity up in this way? Can DCS not do this automatically?

Hey Crowe - How are you!! Long time bud......... I solved my fluctuating fps by making all cores on my CPU available - it seemed my FPS was caused by a bottleneck when the CPU core was being maxed out - turning on all cores for DCS fixed it and now I get a constant butter smooth 45 fps in the rift :-) Credit to Jimmy 'Pathfinder' Olsen for the fix :-)

Ok a friend of mine fixed this issue for me. Pathfinder - you truly are the man and I thank you for this. So, start DCS in VR. Go to task manager, open all cores on the CPU part in performance.Now go to details and right click on DCS.exe. Now go to infinity and select all cores. OK out and back to DCS - a very constant and rock solid 45 fps. I have to do this every time I start or restart DCS. Surely this issue can be resolved by Eagle Dynamics. Cheers :-)

Mine's unplayable - almost at least. I get 45 fps then spikes down to 12 or 16 then back up to the late 30's and 40's then back down to 12 again - constant up and down of frame rates. I've tried everything to sort it but it just won't work. I have no idea what to do. My machine should kick this games ass....... but it doesn't. Specs: Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme x299, i9 7900X (all 10 cores at 4.5GHz), 32 GB Corsair Dominator RAM, EVGA 1080ti Hybrid, Samsung 950 Pro 1TB, Samsung Evo 850 2TB.

My DCS crashes every time I try and exit.

Ah thanks Lemoen. I'll have a look at this later when I get back from work. I assume this problem will be fixed soon!!! Cheers :-) I actually turned off MSAA in game settings and turned it on in NVidia GC settings (application pointing to OB exe)

I'm getting really spiking FPS in 2.5 when using my rift. With 2.2 and 1.5 I was getting a constant 45 FPS not matter where I was in any map. With 2.5 my FPS is like a yoyo, dropping down to 19-20 ish then ramping back up to 90 and back down to 20 ish. This is causing problems with stuttering and the game play is very jerky. My systems specs should be able to handle this: Mobo: Rog Rampage VI Extreme Chip: i9 7900X, all cores at 4.5 GHz GC: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid RAM: Corsair Dominator 32Gb SSD: Samsung M2 950 something or other..... So why can I not get DCS to run smoothly? I've lowered some settings to try and accommodate these probs but I should be more than capable of running this sim almost maxed out.....
