1.5.6 issues


Recommended Posts

Ok guys,

 

I know this is going to sound pretty stupid but and that it has nothing to do with the long load times...

 

I was talking with my 104th squad leader IronMike and he advised me to download and install an autoexec.cfg file and put it in my saved games/config file. I downloaded it, installed it and PRESTO!! everything seems to work just fine again.

 

I informed him and he said it should only affect staying connected online as it overrides upload and download speeds, but I am all back to normal now.

There it is in case anyone wants to try it out. Good Luck!!

Just quick edit from my problem fix post. I forgot that I had disabled malwarebytes antivirus app just prior to adding the autoexec.cfg file.

 

I had malwarebytes running before the update and everything was fine so I didn't think that it would have caused an issue.

 

So to summarize-disabled antivirus app and added autoexec.cfg file to config folder.

 

Either way, I no longer have issues with 1.5.6 update

If the autoexec.cfg file did not work for u then try disabling any antivirus programs. I only did those two things and it is now working properly again. It was either one or the other.

I tried the autoexec.cfg and it didn't work but seems like that the last update to version 1.5.6.1648 fixed the problem: now it takes about 3 min. to load a mission the first time and then it reloads in 15-30 sec. I can start learning the Viggen!

So - I've got an older system (Win7 x64, 8 GB Ram, and only a Radeon HD 6670). I've been mostly using the final 1.2.16.43180 build, but decided to update to 1.5 recently. The version it downloaded (1.5.5.60565) caused a bunch of stutters when down low but it seemed quite smooth when at altitude. Unfortunately, it was just unplayable when down in the weeds, so I reverted back to 1.2. Based upon all of the recent comments from long-term forum members on 1.5.6.1648, is it going to be worth my time and effort to try and install this, or should I just stick with 1.2.16.43180 until I can get a newer video card with more VRAM?

I'd suggest sticking with 1.2.16 if you had performance issues with 1.5.5

 

The first OB release of 1.5.6 was reported as having performance issues on high spec system compared to 1.5.5. The new OB patch fixes that, it does not reduce 1.5.x's general requirements.

 

DCS 1.5.x uses around 9 GB of RAM on my system but the figure can increase with time, mission complexity or mp, but there's no guarantee that is your main or only bottleneck.

 

I run both 1.2.16 and 1.5.x and have to reduced graph sliders, draw distance, texture quality, etc. to get similar performance in 1.5.x as 1.2.16. This is explainable as the new 1.5 GFX engine does somethings better (the underlying draw distances/object counts can be 6x 1.2) and 1.5 medium can look better than 1.2 high.

 

As every system is different, you'd need play with 1.5.x's settings and make compromises to run 1.5.6.

After this update, all the issues are gone. It was a good move to put fixes into beta first and after testing, update the release version. No stutters, no long loadingtimes anymore. Thank you for your fantastic job, keep up the good work ED! :helpsmilie:

Just jumped in to say that the newest 1.5.6 build is great. No more terrain stuttering for this guy!! Bravo! Good job ED and thank you :)

I too am seeing improvements with 1.5.6. I suppose those that are having issues simply point to the reality that with so many various expectations and systems, ED cannot get them all. Especially with the VR issues. Being the fairly new tech it is, little wonder there is a learning curve for the developers. Be patient. When has ED not eventually come through for is?

Trees shadows

 

The trees shadows disappear after 1 sec. in F2-F3 mode, new feature from latest update or a

bug already reported?

The sheer number of items that were given attention or changed in the 1.5.6 patch is vast. It would be better generally for ED to put out smaller patches more frequently rather than such a large undertaking where so many thinks can, and obviously do, go wrong. With so many general performance issues, stuttering, load times, graphic issues, etc. it's much harder to find the bugs when so much code was changed.

 

Smaller patches (fixing and introducing fewer new things) but releasing them more often would be a wiser thing to do for ease of repairing the product if and when bugs occur.

Just rolled back to 1.5.5 and I have MASSIVE better FPS than 1.5.6. using VR and 1.5.5 was so much better:(

 

Same here. Rolled back to 1.5.5. Much better framerates.

Gentlemen with too long DCS loading, please describe your SSD model. Note: my request concern ONLY loading issue, not view freezes.

 

I have read this entire thread hoping to find a fix and was encouraged when ED began asking for type of SSD used by those with slow 1.5.6 load times.

 

I suffer 5-7 minute mission load time using the very latest 1.5.6 patch when installed on my pair of Intel 600P SSD PCie (Win7 software Raid 0 array) using two M.2 ports on an MSI Z170 M7 motherboard.

 

This setup functions normally with DCS 1.5.5, but soon as I update to 1.5.6 it encounters the very slow load times and shows DCS "not Responding" if I open task manager.

 

Have tried fresh install multiple times now with newly created user/save games folders to no avail.

 

When I install 1.5.6 onto my SATA III Samsung 840 EVO (system drive on same PC) load times are normal. This is only a 120gb drive, nearly full with DCS installed and is a much slower performing drive.....so it is not a lasting solution.

 

Any suggestions...or do I need to wait for the next patch?

The problem hasn't gone with latest patch. Loading times are bit longer (comparing to 1.5.5) witch does't bother me but frame rate is noticeably lower than it was in 1.5.5. Can w expect a fix for that ? I can still see some of you dealing with the same issue. Please ED do not underestimate the problem. During these all years with you I almost brought to perfection how to set DCS and NV settings to get as much FPS as possible. Now with 1.5.6 - Caucasus Map frames are sometimes dropping below 50 and if you check the hardware in my signature You would probably agree it should't (no I don't have everything maxed out).

 

Looking forward to hear from you guys :)
