atsmith6 Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Hi all Thought I'd share this. My framerate issue in the Harrier is now solved: When I downloaded the Harrier I was getting terrible FPS problems combined with stutters. I am running DCS on a 4670K i5 with a GeForce 1080 and using the Oculus Rift for context. Tonight I updated the NVidia drivers to 388.43 and the issue is gone. To test I downgraded again and the issues reappeared. If you have been struggling with bad framerates over the last while, I get the frame drops and stutters using GeForce driver version 388.13 and 388.31. They go away with the latest 388.43. This was driving me nuts. I even deleted my save game folder to re-do the configuration and see whether that helps. It didn't. Maybe this will save someone else some frustration. I am now (as of 388.43) getting 45 FPS solid with no stutters at all in VR. A
Mustang Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Also be sure to check your updater in Open Beta, a hotfix was recently released that includes a fix for the very low FPS in AV-8B cockpit.
bart Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. I'm on 388.31 at the moment but will update now. Also on a secondary note a hotfix patch was just released for 1.5.8 although it doesn't state on the change log that the Harrier cockpit FPS bug has been fixed I'm hoping it has!

Moafuleum Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks for the Hint ;) However, after the hotfix today, my framerate issues seem to be gone. It was not mentioned in the changelog but Zeus already stated in the bug section, that they found a solution with ED to tackle the problem. :thumbup:
