VR performance could be affected by Exports

[vicx]

DCS World LoGetWorldObjects() currently takes about 20% of CPU. ... There is nothing we can do on Tacview site do fix this performance issue. For example: This is the most important export function and we must call it at least once a frame to know what is going on. Because without it, it is not possible to know which objects have been created/deleted/updated.

 

With Tacview 1.5.1 you can check your DCS.log file after a mission to see by how much CPU Tacview LUA exporter and LoGetWorldObjects() are taking to export data.

I have mentioned this as a potential issue for people experiencing VR performance problems before BUT this is the first time I have seen actual measurements made from inside the export environment.

• Tacview LUA script AddUpdateObjects(): 10% CPU (Tacview side, will be fixed)
  
• DCS World LoGetWorldObjects(): 20% CPU (ED dev team side)
  

 

Very cool!

 

Vytuoz is a professional, he has been aware of these issues for a while and has been working on a solution.

Anyone tested ? Can someone confirm it help with VR to remove it ?

I need every last bit of CPU i can get and i don't use tacview 99% of the time.

 

i OC'd my CPU and got only 4Ghz (i'm pretty sure it's my RAM but i won't buy a new set of 32GB).

 

i OC'd my GTX 970 to the maximum setting (and it doesn't want to overheat of crash, sweet :D )

 

How to remove it ?

 

EDIT : heh, i just have to untick the option in tacview :D

Does this matter if Tacview is not being used?

I would also like to know. Don't even know what it is for.
