Was getting 45-90 fps in VR before recent update, now I'm getting 20fps

[Sheriff BurneR]

My CV1 works like before, settings high and no lags. For me VR works better and better in every update.

Same here. Not sure what all the fuss is really about. I personally delete the FXO and metashaders every time before I open DCS. This was an issue way back when the memory leak was troubling large percentages of the community (BigNewey recommendation). I have all three of the sliders all the way to the right (max), Terrain and textures set to high. View to Ultra, shadows on medium, heat blur on low, terrain shadows on default, msaa off, the other next to msaa to off, rain droplets to on. Think the point is across here. Most of the settings I have actually been able to crank up. Using CV1, specs in sig. With ALL of those cranked up like they are, my FPS occasionally drops to 22-24. Most of the time it holds at 45 as a low. I do not get online very much at the moment, but do missions that are "red flag" based which has hundreds and hundreds of units, air and ground. Campaign from Sedlo for the F/A-18C (and the one for A10C), along with the Maple Flag (sp?) Aggressor BFM campaign.

 

 

Nothing special here, but maybe it can simply be down to the fxo and metashader folders being deleted? I also have LOADS of SSD available, like more than 200 gigs on the drive that has DCS only on it.

Great. Your not having the problem. But you don't see what all the fuss is about? 15fps in VR with a RTX 2080, 32GB DDR4 RAM, i7 6700k oc to 4.4Ghz... if you had that issue would you be making a fuss? I think you would. That's what all the fuss is about. Other people ARE having the issue. It's very real. Just because you aren't having it doesn't mean the people that are should be ignored (not that we are being ignored by ED).

Think you took that one a bit personal, wasn’t trying to discount your concern. Have you deleted your fxo and metashader folder by chance? Done a repair with DCS tool and updated most recent driver for GPU? Not missing any windows updates? Set an exception in your antivirus program to exclude DCS (do at own risk, I’ve never had a problem develop with security after doing this). Those are all steps that I have found in searching through forums and some guidance I’ve been given. I have pretty much the exact same specs you do, except a measly little gtx980 and ddr3 and don’t overclock my CPU because I have never needed to (personally). Maybe one or a few of those suggestions can help you.

I do believe the guys that have the issue, just logic tells if one has it with superior hardware and another one doesnt have the issue with lesser hardware..it can hardly be the code per se, it's gotta be a machine/setting specific issue.

 

Keep it simple, think logical, try to test so you know what it cannot be and then go on with the same, test again what it might be and what not... that's how I troubleshoot PC's and Servers.

 

I would maybe try a new user account as well, many things reside in one's account. It takes 3 minutes and you know if, or if not.

 

Stay logical and stop when the temper gets HOT...chill out andcome back when the mind is clear again. Anger and Temper wont help in such situations...I had to learn this too...LoL..many many times the hard way...but you cannot impress a PC with a EHHHH face ;)

Hey man, Nvidia just updated drivers which has caused me alot of faffing with my 2070 super. Could be GPU driver issues. Mess about with fxaa, AF, MSAA and SSAA and see if you can claw it back maybe?

I'm one of those that's having fps issues, and my issues started with the 8/14 update. I'm getting 20fps where I was used to getting 45+ so logic tells me if the performance tanked after that update, it's something with the code. So when I get time, I'll revert back to pre 8/14 update to test if it is the code. With my specs, this should not be happening. However, I do have faith in ED to fix it, but it does not seem like they can reproduce it.

Pretty much this. I started to have problems after a recent driver update. Did a fresh driver reinstall, and it fixed it. Sometimes I do think it is DCS, and repair it. Its always the last thing I try that works :)

Same. For some reason the GPU driver update is ALWAYS the last thing that I do / think of, any 9 times out of 10, it's what fixes the issue that I was experiencing. Hopefully that is the same thing for the OP and others who are having the issue.

Any words about the vr performance improvement

 

Do we have any update from developers about the vr improvement? Many of us don't see any improvement. We are really looking forward to seeing working.

I have seen a small increase personally.

 

Most v2.5.5 patches have run consistently well for me. There was one that caused some stuttering a while back, but the latest is again performing much better than any previous major versions did. So you geezers must've done something right at least ;)

"Was getting 45-90 fps in VR before recent update, now I'm getting 20fps in the Hornet. The recent update where the texture for the F-14 wings on the bottom was missing. That update KILLED my VR performance and now it's UNPLAYABLE."

Same thing happened to me. Program worked fine before the update. Now the sim is unflyable with fame rates at or below 20FPS. Very bad stuttering. When the head is held perfectly still the image is normal. However, the slightest head movement or movement within the image results in a blurring effect that makes one sick to their stomach. My system sports an I9 processor, a 3090 GPU, with mass storage and memory numbers close to the national debt. HMD is a Pimax 8KX. I have a rather large investment in DCS and as such am not to happy with this sudden, unwelcome turn of events.
