Reflected Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 My FPS is around 50-70, and offiline the performance is great. It often stutters a little when I zoom in and out, but that's it. Online, however, I'm getting heavy stutters and freezes (up to 20 seconds) anything happens. I zoom in, I fire my guns, I launch a missile, whatever... This makes playing online next to impossible. Am I alone with this? :noexpression: Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Hadwell Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 First thing you do before you say help is let everyone know your system specs, CPU i5/i7 and mhz, RAM in GB, SSD, and video card model eg GTX780 My youtube channel Remember: the fun is in the fight, not the kill, so say NO! to the AIM-120.

Hadwell Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 6GB of ram is probably the reason why reflected, possibly you don't yet have an ssd? and probly your cpu plushanubka dcs needs good single-core performance, and even 8GB of ram is barely enough, never mind 6.

Reflected Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 I'll probably invest in 16 soon, then. I hope it will make the stutters and freezes go away. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

All of this said from a 8GB user. Edited March 14, 2016 by secret1962
Oceandar Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I suffer the same problem, stuttering that lead to death in MP. 8GB RAM here but it used to be less stuttering before numerous updates . Kinda weird, good thing is I have a reason to buy ssd. Lol :D Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze

Before my upgrade to 16Gb (from 8Gb), wasn't able to stay on a server for more than 30MN (or less) before crash.... no more crash since my upgrade, but i experience freezes sometimes when zooming in/out....DCS is installed on a HDD tough, maybe the culprit.

IonicRipper Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 In the mean while you can try loweing the textures to medium or low. The cockpits look terrible but at least it made it playable on my system (specs in sig.) i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Reflected Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks for your comments, I will pick up my new set of RAM this Friday. This being said there is no way I will believe this game cannot be better optimized. All other sims I play are fine with 6 G RAM. :noexpression: Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

I don't understand why with the same terrain/objects/etc...this game use so much RAM. The change was "only" in the API (directx9>now directx11). FPS are far better than before with the old 1.2.xx, but damn, this RAM usage is crazy!

The change was "only" in the API (directx9>now directx11). FPS are far better than before with the old 1.2.xx, but damn, this RAM usage is crazy! Totally quote this. My exact words. Just one thing: after latest updates the FPS got crippled sadly, so no improvement. Also changing textures does not improve a single bit (and I wouldn't really need to lower something that looked the same before).

Reflected Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 OK, I bought 16 Gb RAM. Now it runs much better, but it still stutters a little when I zoom in, and when I first look around it's a slideshow. This game definitely needs some optimizing. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Oceandar Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 It feels less stuttering after the last update, I could be wrong tho. Need more testing.. Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze
Theskyline35 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 "add more ram" shoudn't be a way to fix that, I mean, it's the fault of ED, not our PC, it should work without stutters everywhere with 8Go of RAM ! With the last batman on PC, which was extremely badly optimised, did we said to people complaining about framerate and stutter, even with good PC "Add more ram, and change your GPU, and..." ? No, because it was the fault of the game. And here we are in the exact same situation, we can upgrade our PC it will help, but it will not solve the problem, everybody trying to play DCS will complain about this issue until they add 16Go of ram and a SSD only for DCS ?!

Although I think it's a pity that ED / DCS doesn't provide previous (or new) versions executable file download to it's costumers, other forum member mentioned that one still can revert to previous versions through the updater, link below, post # 10 : http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=162673 So, if people are disappointed with 1.5.3, why don't try to roll back to version 1.5.2 for instance ?

Corvus Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Just a reminder- make sure you are using full screen mode (but done with LALT+ENTER). Also difference between 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 is view distance presets. 1.5.2 high settings are 15.3 low setting. Edited March 21, 2016 by Corvus My YT channel https://www.youtube.com/user/corvuscorp81
