Stuttering back

[Glider_UK]

PLEASE IGNORE, autoexec.cfg sorted it. Thanks for the solution.

 

 

I have had micro stutters within DCS for a while now.

I have gone through the forum and done cleans and repairs.

The installation is on a 1TB SSD and my specs are below. I got the stutters in any map and any aircraft. I upgraded to the newest version of DCS and installed the F-16 (great work by the way) but the stutters remained. With Vsync off my card runs at 100% but watching the graph on the GPU when a stutter occurs it drops to 70%, sometimes as low as 40% momentarily.

With Vsync on the GPU runs at around 65 to 85% but the stutters remained and the drops were consistent going as low as 25%, if I lowered all my settings to the minimum they remained.

 

However the other day I upgraded the graphics driver and installed windows update 1809. The stutters had gone completely. absolutely wonderful. It was a joy to play DCS all maxed out and getting the best frame rates I have ever had.

This lasted for a few days.

 

Stupidly I played with the graphics settings and turned it down from 4096 to 3840 as I noticed a slight phase in the screen, BANG the stutters came back and I can not get rid of them again.

I have deleted fxo and shaders. cleaned and repaired again. I have used a backup options.lua to before I made the changes to no avail.

 

Motto: If not broke don't fix it

 

If you could possibly shed some light onto this it would be very appreciated.

 

EDIT: I do not use Malwarebytes and my anti virus has the same settings it had when all was well.

 

Regards

Hey. I'm sorry for you.

 

I don't know about stutters gone temporarily and came back, but I'm really scared! If you have stutters with this system (64GB, i9-9900, 2080Ti) I should jump out of window.

 

If your system and similar ones suffer from stutters, I have no word to say! ED should find a solution those stutter issues at once...

Can confirm, random microfreezes every few seconds since the latest update (metashaders and fxo fodler were flushed ofc).

Silly question maybe but what’s the autoexec.bat file and how did it sort the stutters? Just curious...

The autoexec.cfg hot plug fix actually increased stutters for me.

 

What has given me a noticeable performance improvement and decrease in any perceived stutter is using Process Lasso from https://bitsum.com/. There are numerous posts on these forums about the benefits and how to use it.

 

I have set the following for both DCS and TrackIR:

 

Priority Class...Always=High

CPU Affinity...Always=Single threaded performance mode

I/O Priority...Always=High

Memory Priority...Always= 5 Normal

Application Power Profile...Always=High Performance

 

Try this out, hopefully it will help!
