LCYCowboy Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 I seem to really be struggling with FPS since the latest update. I have a fast overclocked i7 6700 with a GTX1080. Up to now, everything has been fine, but after updating DCS to 1.5.5, it seemed to reset some of my settings. I selected the VR presets in Display Options, but I am getting low FPS at times. My normal test flight is the Harbour Tour mission with the Huey, and after lift off when following the AI heli, my FPS now drop between 45 and 25 (using ASW). I am pretty sure that this didn't happen before. I have done some trouble shooting, changing settings (even as far as everything on LOW) but this doesn't seem to make a difference. In my trouble shooting I did notice that the biggest culprit seems to be smoke. If I fly over the top of a chimney stack, my FPS go down to 15-25. When I approach a village/Town and smoking chimneys come into view, the FPS dip. Any hints would be appreciated!
j0nx Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 Me too. with version most recent to the one they just released. I have not tested the version theyr eleased last week to see if it fixed it but the version most recent to that one was when my fps took a massive dive on 1.5. I am running ASW as well and before was always at 45fps and then all of a sudden with that one version it was many dips to low 20's. Something went amiss in the version most prior to the one released last week and may still be there with the most recent version too.

Precog Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 I've always got low frame rates on that harbor tour, even before 1.5.5. Something to do with that one particular town looking over the harbour. Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

whitav8 Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Let's forget the missions - just an A-10C ready for takeoff as a test. I agree that the frame-rates are down - with both 1.5.5 and 2.xx. With a A-10C facing away from Las Vegas at Nellis, with 2.xx (not VR) - I see ONLY 54 fps - that won't cut it in VR and any kind of RenderScale (SuperSampling) settings. With the A-10C ready for takeoff in 1.5.5, I see about 94 fps - still not enough. We need about 150 fps or more in nonVR mode. What has happened??

fierceBeaver Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 I have the same problems with FPS since the latest update
Insonia Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Restore the 1.5.2 visual range lua file. Replace the tree shadow edm. (file check vaild)Still playable. most of time. But sometimes it will drop to about 20f/s.
Milopapa Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 I haven't tried 1.5.5 but I just updated to the latest alpha (2.0.4?) and I'm getting horrible framerates: 14-20fps just sitting on the runway where I used to get a stable 45fps (or more). What the heck? I reset my settings to low, no change.
