Disable hot plug devices

[Windsortheater]

I have the issue on stable. How can I disable "hot plug" on stable release? BIGNEWY indicated this was for open beta only.

 

Really struggling with this and the stutter it causes with TrackIR.

you can use the same method in release version also

 

edited the first post to make it clearer.

thanks

 

Could you update the thread title as well to reflect the problem it addresses ? It might make it clearer rather than just the description of the solution.

Do I just add the cfg file that's attached in the original post into the config folder and that's it?

[Kansti]

autoexec.cfg:

no_device_hotplug = true

Wow, thank you so much, this fixed the problem on my system! :thumbup:

It may help uses who were seeing input disconnects constantly or stutters. It may not help everyone.

 

I have this (dis- & connect) issue on my throttle quadrant and mouse, as an newbie in flysims, to avoid this problem should I check or oncheck Hotplug. 

I’m only flying in VR btw.

Hello everyone，I am experiencing persistent frame drop issues in multiplayer mode.

3080, 10700k, 32g memory, the memory usage is about 25g when playing. There is a frame dropping every ten seconds（I locked the maximum fps at 61）This situation only occurs on servers with more than 30 players（like EUR GS serve）Periodic freezes make the game completely unplayable，Does anyone know a solution?The game is installed in the ssd, full screen optimization has been disabled. I originally planned to buy f16, these stuttering completely ruined my gaming experience.I would be very grateful if anyone can give any suggestions

The frames is in the upper left corner of the video, you can easily find that every ten seconds there will be a frame drop

What is the different in having hot plug disabled by editing autoexec.cfg, or by switching in DCS button menu option? They cause the same effect? I don´t understand why having 2 options now.

[speed-of-heat]

CFG was used before they had a GUI function, there is no difference in effect

I'd like to add here that I recently picked up a new gaming PC with an i7 12700K running Windows 11 and had a major stuttering issue, and in researching it found this thread and used the disable hotplug button and it fixed it, so I appreciate the info here, and the addition of the button - thanks!

What is the above setting saved in which file in the release 2.9.8.1214?

What are you asking? Where to turn off "hot plug"? In the Controls Settings, any module. It's a button in the bottom that says enable or disable hotplug. 

Cheers!

that line was a 'stopgap' that was put into \Saved Games\DCS\config\autoexec.cfg

correct. i found an old log that shows:

2020-09-27 18:33:31.909 INFO    DCS: Device hotplug disabled!

i do not believe this line will show in the log if the feature is set in the GUI. nor being in the autoexec file. i thought you were asking what file that code was placed.
