[RESOLVED]Anybody Who Can Understand Logs?

[SharkBait]

Thank you!

 

Just tried tweaking with the cores to just run on 0 and 2 (I have an i5). Nothing. Deleted the Saved Games / DCS folder - still no joy...

 

I will report to the devs. Yeah, we may never hear back but at least to make our voices heard.

I'm wondering if my system might be running hot? Sometimes it won't start to stutter for 5min. I wonder if it's because it's building up heat. Not sure why other games run ok though?

 

Is there a software I can install to check my temps, fan speed etc?

HWinfo and Asus Suite, CoreTemp... those I use

Hi guys,

 

I have been watching this thread, but not replied as you have been getting some great advice already.

 

The stutter problems are difficult to diagnose, I have seen users who have had good results just from tweaking a little and others who no matter what they try nothing seems to work.

 

With so many system setups out there with various hardware / software / settings / bios it has been very frustrating trying to find the real problem, it seems to be different for so many.

 

I have seven different DCS builds ( public and test ) and I do not see any stutter, which makes it even more frustrating trying to find the problem myself.

 

I would like to see your dxdiag if you wouldn't mind, feel free to attach it here or get it to me in a PM and I will take a look.

 

If you have not done a clean up and repair a guide is in my signature, worth a shot before I suggest anything else.

 

thanks

[BuzzU]

I tried to do the cleanup and repair, but got this in the drop down box.

 

 

[BuzzU]

Here's my DxDiag file.

[BIGNEWY]

Thanks, for the dxdiag I will take a look.

 

the new windows 10 has moved to powershell,

 

in powershell type cmd and then continue as instructed in the tutorial

Thanks BIGNEWY,

 

Attached is my dxdiag. I have tried the repair and the clean up per your video (excellent tutorial!).

 

Thank you!

Thanks sharkBait, I do already have yours, I am helping the ED team with the support ticket you have in :)

Buzzu,

 

what's the current status ??

 

PM me if you think a Teamviewer session could help.

 

 

Meanwhile, look at this vid ( its mostly boring but I have most graphs on, that was the reason to publish ). You can see how the server effects players fps ( towards end of mission , 2,5h, and that different airframes tax differently, the Ka-50 being the most taxing of them all I own.

 

..and yes... I made it back with the SU-25T in 1 piece, belly landed. Sad you dont hear TS and you dont see the 2 Mig21's covering us...was great.

My current status is the same Bit. Stutters no matter what I do. I don't know what TeamViewer is, so I don't know what you're asking me. I don't play online yet. Until I can learn a plane and get rid of the stutters. I don't see any sense in it.

 

To be honest i've about given up on DCS until I see a fix. Very disappointed.

Cap your framerate at perhaps 80fps.It will be smoother as you look around.

The stutter could be the gfx card stepping down as it reaches its vmax temperature.

[Dingo_Bob]

check your pagefile settings make sure it's system managed on yor drives, turn it off on the HDD only run it on the SSD, I have huge stutters if I run a pagefile on my HDD turnuing if off it runs like butter smooth now

[BuzzU]

Look at my system. It's barely being used and stuttering.

My HDD is empty. I just use the SSD.

It's capped at 60 fps when I use vsync. Still stutters.

I got a new one this morning. My Nvidia control panel disappeared. I couldn't find it anywhere. I had to install the Nvidia drivers again to get it back. What was that all about?

[aceviper]

Monitor your gfx temp when you see stuttering...I would expect to see it near its vmax when this is happening...especially with a reference nvidia cooler.

Bouncing between 79 degC and 80 degC.

Turning the fan speed up while playing DCS works for me.

Not sure if its any help but good luck with this issue.

[BuzzU]

Not sure how to do either of those. However, if it's the problem. Why do all other games run fine? This is just a DCS problem.

[BuzzU]

Ok, I installed a software program to check temps. I ran DCS for 5 min and it was stuttering.

 

I checked the program and the max temp for the cpu's was 64C. The GPU was 47C .

 

Heat is not the problem.

 

 

 

Wait! I just Googled my temps and it says 60C is the max the CPU should be. Is that right?

60C is fine I think, sure they will go up to 80C at full load, if I am wrong someone will say something :)

[BuzzU]

I was going to go into bios to check things and I got a program that showed temps, settings etc. I was wondering why a gaming system wouldn't have a program like this. I just didn't know how to get to it and the system came with no manual. Now I know F2 at startup brings up the program. It had 4 settings for the fans. It was on normal. There was also power save, turbo, and manual. I changed it to turbo. I'll see how that works. It also had a turbo setting for the GPU. I turned it on to see if I notice anything different.

 

CPU has definitely been OC'd to 4.5, but I see no way to change it. It won't let me in the bios.

 

 

I'll go try DCS to see if the fan setting helps. Should I set the fans on manual and crank them to 100%?

 

You didn't see anything in my Dxdiag file?

Nothing unusual, other than your display driver is not digitally signed,

 

Display Tab 1: The file C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_58db05fb768d8c2d\nvldumdx.dll,C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_58db05fb768d8c2d\nvldumdx.dll,C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_58db05fb768d8c2d\nvldumdx.dll,C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_58db05fb768d8c2d\nvldumdx.dll is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.

 

have you tried using DDU cleaner http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

 

and then use the latest drivers from NVIDIA? http://www.geforce.com/drivers

 

I use hardware monitor for my temps http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Edited April 23, 2017 by BIGNEWY

[BuzzU]

I'll try both of those programs. Turning up my fans lowered my temps to 56c-60C.

 

Have to take the pooch for a run. I'll do it all when I get back. i already d/l the programs you recommended.
