Micro Stutters

[Ignition]

I'm having very annoying stutters. Every 20-30 seconds I have a freeze for 2 seconds.

 

I have an I7 7700K, 16GB RAM, game is on SSD, GTX 1080.

 

Tested in Caucassus, Mirage 2000C and MI-8 same results, no AI, single player.

 

When the freeze happens the CPU goes to 0%, not temp related.

Please try to change power settings in win10 and disalbe all energy savings features, set all to "high performance",

Well this issues is pretty widespread.. I found out the nVidia drivers seem to be bugged from the 388 and up versions..

 

What nVidia driver do you use?

Actually yesterday updated the drivers and the issue seems to be solved.

 

I didn't bothered with the drivers before because it was woking fine when DCS was on beta, it all started when the game went live.

 

The sttuters seem to be gone.

Thanks.

what version did you update too ??

 

 

I hope that was the issue and your welcome..

391.35 And I had 390 something from January I think.

 

I didn't test for a long period of time but in the time I played the stutters were gone.

 

I had this problem for several days so I'm sure it wasn't an external and occasional factor. Also it was the only game I had problems.

I use the 391.35's but thing is with this bug not everyone is effected it is pretty strange..

I'm doing some testings and the stutters are still here :mad:

 

I still have the exact same issue.

 

The game is unplayable, 20-30 seconds ok and then CPU drops to 0% and game freezes for 2-3 seconds.

dude have you change the power enery savings in windows? if your cpu drops to 0 that means that windows is set up on "balance energy profile".

also make sure in bios you disable speedstep, c state, etc etc.

Try LAlt+Enter in the game.

I had a really bad freeze in windows yesterday.

 

I checked the S.M.A.R.T. of the HDD and I have inteface CRC errors so I re-plugged the SATA again and the freezes in DCS are gone.

 

The strange thing is that from all the games I play DCS was the only one with some sort of problem. If it weren't for the freeze in windows I would never find out.

 

:thumbup:

I have the same freezes issue but not when I'm not logged in, noticed that when I disconnected from the internet for some testing

Since 2.5.1 I've been getting micro stutters too. Mostly when AA guns are being fired (Normandy)
