Foxbeard Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hey guys, I really love this campaign and I think this should be a benchmark for all upcoming mission content for DCS. However, I have some issues regarding framerates with some missions. Specially when I am close to the base/Airfield. In general, I have stable 60 Frames in the sim, although I have everything maxed out, except traffic (medium), and flat shadows on. But for example in the beginning of mission 2, it drops down to 30 frames. There is not much going on, a couple of humvees and Su-25s are passing by. So I was wondering why I have this frame drops. Has anybody made similar experiences considering performance hits? Cheers, F __________________ Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit | Intel Core i5-3570 | 16GB DDR3-2133 | GTX 770
baltic_dragon Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hey, Thanks for the kind words, Sir! I am glad you are enjoying the campaign. It is true that for immersion there is quite a lot happening on the airfield, but not that much to actually make a difference in FPS.. I have a weaker rig than you and never had any problems. Having said so, try to reduce civ traffic to low, I heard it makes a difference plus (spoiler) it will make one or two missions easier for you ;) For more information, please visit my website.

Still huge fps drop when I am close to the base ... __________________ Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit | Intel Core i5-3570 | 16GB DDR3-2133 | GTX 770
baltic_dragon Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Mission 2 has a lot of static objects, but not around the base - on the way. Maybe the sheer number causes the FPS drop. Not much I can do, hope it will be better in next missions. For more information, please visit my website.

bzhnono Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Had the same problem... My System process was taking 3GB of RAM. A reboot and System process is back to a few MB and no more frame drop (Win10) Each time DCS is taking a while to launch and I experience frame drops, I just reboo and that's ok. Don't know why but with a reboot, it's perfect (same kind of gear as yours i5-3570, 8GB RAM and R9 290X) Edited January 19, 2016 by bzhnono [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Are these the detailed steps you did: 1. Quit the game 2. Restart the computer/reboot 3. Restart the game Thanks! __________________ Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit | Intel Core i5-3570 | 16GB DDR3-2133 | GTX 770

bzhnono Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Maybe someone can explain me what he means with that sentence? Thanks! Edited. Don't know why but after each mission in DCS "System" Process takes more and more memory [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

bzhnono Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Just check your performance monitor to see if you've got the same problem as me : System processe taking more and more memory after each mission [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Foxbeard Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Just check your performance monitor to see if you've got the same problem as me : System processe taking more and more memory after each mission Ok I got it. But in my case, the framerates are low from the beginning. I start the computer, start the sim, then mission 2 from the campaign and I have low frames. __________________ Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit | Intel Core i5-3570 | 16GB DDR3-2133 | GTX 770
bzhnono Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Ok. What are you settings ? your GTX770 has 2 or 4GB of VRAM ? if 2 check that your VRAM is not full (I think there's a tool for nvidia card to know that) that may be the problem. Just lower a bit the details and it should be ok. /just another guess... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Still only 30 frames in the beginning of mission 2. __________________ Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit | Intel Core i5-3570 | 16GB DDR3-2133 | GTX 770
