Consistent low framerate - 1.5.3.50487

[HornedGod]

Repro steps:

 

1. Join ACG WWII server

2. Select P-51 and spawn

3. Ctrl-Pause to bring up frame rate counter

4. View frame rate when looking ahead (should be just cockpit with no other planes in view frustum) - my FPS is locked at 60.

5. Look north to AI planes fighting near bullseye

6. Frame rate is 28-30fps.

 

Observed result: Frame rate drops more than half when viewing AI planes fighting

 

Expected result: Frame rate stays at 60fps (or very close to it; like it did in 1.5.2)

 

Other notes: Triple-A causes severe frame rate loss, kind of like it used to, but hasn't since 1.5 came around.

Try lowering the visibility range to medium or low.

[codenamepanzer]

Try to use high.lua, medium.lua and other visibility configuration used in 1.5.2.

 

ED has changed these files in 1.5.3.

[Enduro14]

hence why they have said to use low or medium since now the higher settings actually reflect high settings.

[amazingme]

To match the visibility settings for both NTTR and Caucasus maps.

[Kuky]

Can you please try setting Shadows option to Flat Only.

turn that mirror off!! and also make sure window is in focus with left alt enter

Based on my experience with DCS, visibility options have little to do with this issue. I tried every possible settings combination, to no avail online. Once you look towards air or ground units 100 km away, framerate drops. Even if you look through a hangar wall, or with visibility settings set to low, or even with manually edited files, or reduced or increased preload radius. To extent worse when there is launching/firing.

I want a fluid DCS with 60 fps minimum like in first beta release.

no stutters and and nice FPS that's all

 

they have to work hard to optimize FPS and fluidity.

I've tried all the tweaks from here to somwhere else, clockplatform true, core parking , §Hyperthreading, visibility, delete personal saved game folder, no trees, no shadows.

 

At this state, with a decent Computer more far better than minimum spec, You can't play with our expensive modules in good correct conditions

 

1.5.x release should not be a beta, some people say it is. but should be a full achieved unbugged and optimized platform must staying to use our modules.

beta is for beta test

alpha is for alpha dev.

release is for secure use in decent condition

 

We have no more a decent playable platform for our modules, in a expected performance of a release.

 

I'm going to down version the 1.5.3 to an older one like 1.5.1 maybe to play on a more stable platform with my released finished or nearly finished module P51 Mi-8 A10C Huey L39

 

Everything else bored me now, unfinished modules, like Hawk and C101, unoptimised platform with low FPS and stutter full...brocken fonction in lua and missions... tired about all that stuff.

 

a friend of mine I've just bought a new video card just before 1.5.3. And he used to think his new videocard was bad. it's not. but 1.5.3 is.

Did you see the fix for 1.5.3 Mustang provided?

+A new fresh install of nvidia driver without any specific DCS profile settings (application controled /default settings)

+everything to medium and low in games ;-(

+ no sweetfx at all

 

seems to help a bit ( but far from perfect) to increase FPS and lower micro stutter ( in both 1.5.3 and 2.0.1)

 

:(

What is your system spec?

Sorry but you can't complain about the game without telling us what your problem is. You gave no information about your system, your graphic settings, your GPU settings or your framrate.

 

There are still optimization possibilities but I think most players achieve a playable experience if they don't max out the graphic sliders.

Half of the world can't anymore have a decent experience in DCS

With 1.5.3 stutter and low framerate only a few fellow (who really ?) can give it a go, on a confortable solid 60 fps and no stutters.

 

I'm not complaining just note.

 

You buy many expensive high level modules, and can't play with them anymore on a decent stable released platform. it's not a good reason for complaining ?

 

I don't have time playing anymore, I only spend my time to try to tweak and correct it...but does'nt work as it should.

 

Here are my specs :

 

win seven 64 . Dcs 1.5.3 an 2.0.1 on samsung SSD. I7-4790 3,6 Mhz on Z97P-D3 - 16go RAM . GTX 670 with 3 GO.

fresh install of Nvidia last driver with application controlled settings - no sweet fx - everything to medium or nearly medium - no mods for testing.

 

still have some micro stutters both in 1.5.3 and 2.

 

I don't care about high visibility, because I prefer have 60 fps and no stutters for Helo and props airplanes. so I turned it to medium too and I have ever tried low too.

 

the Shadows tweak "flat only" only improve FPS if turned off both. 0 bush. a few 8000 trees ...

so, yes I'm really bored, unfact I'm a huge Fan of DCS, and I used to play it nearly everyday.

Ok I will take a look into it on my old system. One question, maybe it is related to national sale strategies but I was not able to find a GTX 670 with 3GB Ram. Can you confirm this value or are we speaking about the GTX 670 Mobile with 3GB? Even the 680 is only equipped with 2GB...

Edited February 27, 2016 by FSKRipper

[snowsniper]

You're completely right.

http://www.gigabyte.fr/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4211#ov

 

but the 670 exist with 4Gb despite it's not mine...

http://www.gigabyte.fr/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4375#ov

 

I used to think i had a 3gb videocard,but no, so on that one I'm just on minimum system requirement which should explain some low performance maybe, but stutters ? Do you have a perfectly fluid DCS unfact the numbers of FPS ?

 

If I read that

Minimum system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i3; RAM: 8 GB; Free hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: 2 GB RAM card, DirectX11 - compatible; requires internet activation.

 

Recommended system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+; RAM: 16GB; Hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX780 / ATI R9 290 DirectX11 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

 

So I'll have to upgrade my VideoCard maybe. ?

[Enduro14]

i have perfectly fluid locked 60 fps at 4k, you have to set the settings to what your computer can actually achieve its been said numerous times with new update the high settings are that extremely high, turn down your settings and you should get a better experience.

I would recommend 4 gb of vram as the bare minimum for Edge and its future.

I've just come back from the town with a new GTX970 4Gb.:music_whistling: hope it will solve my best hobbie.

 

--> for sure it's really really better but still some micro micro stutter (because i focus on it for sure, someone else probably won't feel it) in roll, or flyby view in both version.

I have a mostly fluid gaming experience. Micro stutters were present in some 2.0 areas with lots of ground clutter when the framerate jumped between 120 and 80. I got rid of this problem by enforcing adaptive Vsync in the driver options and putting DCS in real Fullscreen by Alt+Return.

Edited February 27, 2016 by FSKRipper

[Enduro14]

ya make sure flat terrain shadows are on and turn off ground clutter that may help the stuttering also dont do ultra shadows go lower

[snowsniper]

by enforcing adaptive Vsync in the driver options and putting DCS in real Fullscreen by Alt+Return.

 

This helps for sure, I use it of course.

 

that one too is a good tips:

 

in CMD ( admin )

bcdedit /set useplatformclock true

 

+ restart.
