1.5.6. Release-FPS drop (only with ABRIS is on)

[jurajs84]

After update to DCS 1.5.6. release there is a FPS drop only in Ka-50 cockpit only with ABRIS in NAV page. Now it's unplayable for me. I tried downgrade back to 1.5.5 and everything is OK. Is there any bug in ABRIS?

what are your graphic's settings? I don't have any fps hit

[jurajs84]

I have to play with the lowest settings because of my hardware. I use native resolution 1600x900, MSAA 2x, Anisotropic filtering 2x, rest is off or low. The drop is bigger when there are more notes in ABRIS only on NAV page (e.g. areas of AAA). When I switch to other pages in ABRIS, FPS is normal.

I play Georgian Oil War campaigns. With DCS 1.5.5 I had 35 to 50 FPS and now with 1.5.6 I have 10 to 18 (same graphic's settings).

Yes the same problems with the ABRIS. Only on the NAV page, ARC and HSI is FPS normal.

If I choose the NAV page in the ABRIS I have a loss of about 20 FPS.

 

In DCS 2.0.5 I do not have these problems.

This is tied to water graphic settings in options. Change your water quality to high and ABRIS will work normally.

Thanks for the hint. Have tested the only this can be a workaround for the time being.

Normally, I set the water low to increase the FPS.

I hope the ED the ABRIS problem in the next update fixt, so the FPS no longer break in. :cry:

What graphics cards do you guys have? I have an nVidia card and don't have any issues with the ABRIS on and Water set to Medium.

 

Just trying to pinpoint, if perhaps all of you have ATI/AMD cards, then maybe a ATI/AMD driver issue?

What graphics cards do you guys have?

... and how much videomemory onboard?

[jurajs84]

I have integrated AMD APU HD8650G (laptop). I know it's not the best hardware for DCS, but it's only a temporary solution. Before the upgrade to 1.5.6 I had no FPS drop with ABRIS NAV page. Now I play DCS 1.5.5 without any FPS drop.

the issue is when the water is set to low, not medium or high

Nvidia GTX 1080, 8GB VRAM

Can confirm. Tested with water set to LOW and FPS got cut in half.

Medium or High water setting does not affect FPS in this manner.

 

nVIDIA GTX 980
