Reflected Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi, I thought I need to point this out. Since yesterday's update the game is running much smoother. Not sure why. I get more or less the same FPS, maybe a bit more but there are less loading pauses, and it appears to be smoother altogether. Whatever you are doing, keep it up.

grunf Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yesterday's update removed the huge stutter when loading terrain, that was introduced in the previous patch, so yeah it does feel much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markuscha Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just the opposite here : / FPS stayed allmost the same ( lost 50 % in 2.0!!! ) but constant stuttering :( Ran very smooth before the patch ...

JG14_Smil Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Try deleting saved games folder and let DCS rebuild them. I've had updates make my system worse before. If it is an old build consider a new install. I did this and was amazed at the improvements in DCS. Try the folders first.

markuscha Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hi The folders did not do much : / It is allways a kind of up and down with dcs.

mkiii Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 If you do a complete reinstall to clean out potential issues, don't you need to deactivate ALL modules first to avoid using up an activation token? I would be tempted to just try renaming the DCS folder followed by an install, which should leave the registry intact, but give you a whole new set of files. Also, there is the issue that at this time AFAIK, the beta and release are at the same build, so an install of that could be used as a "rescue disc". If you have the same issues in the Beta, then it seems unlikely that reinstalling the release version of the same build would help, but who knows...

JG14_Smil Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Deactivating modules is pretty easy in the module manager, much easier than the alternatives you are bringing up.. I used to consider 1.5 performance bad. After a clean install and some tweaking, I see it is actually much smoother than 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiii Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Unfortunately, it isn't easier for me, since I currently have a problem with Module manager not reading serials correctly, so it is a trust issue, and 17 modules to deal with... I was just trying to find out whether or not it is necessary to deactivate all modules before un-installing/re-installing a particular release. Bearing in mind that I have alpha and beta installed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates should not ruin activations well apart from the mig21 thing shouldnt need to deactivate modules on an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiii Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 No of course, but what we are discussing is whether doing a complete fresh install of the latest version makes things run smoother, not just updating. Hence the query about the need to deactivate or not before you do it. Opinions seem to vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Opinions seem to vary. I did a complete reinstall yesterday and deactivated all modules just to be on the safe side. I had some grief with an old BS2 key that refused to work, but ED has seemingly released a bunch of registry fixes for just that: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/564/ So how about trying those and see if they help? The BS2 fix worked in my case at least. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripRodriguez Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm going to have to try wiping the saved games folders out. My performance has been bad for a while, especially in 1.5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Demo of my 6DOF Motion VR Sim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansangb Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I also had issues with module manager, so I had to do it manually.
