Game Stuttering with FPS Drops

[borisbarzotto]

lot of stuttering while im low altitude, had a bad time landing and take off.

I know its a big update and this type of problem may appear, anyone else experiencing this problem?

[Drag80]

Its normal for fps to drop at lower altitude. The scenery is dense and the VGA card has to work harder. However, If it was not dropping before the update then it might have to do something with the update.

Please let us know your system spec and your dcs settings we maybe able to give you some advice.

 

thanks

I have a squad mate also experience this. Only since the new patch.

We have done a complete re-install and still he has quite sever lags/ stutter.

He does not get stutter/ lags in Caucasus

Maybe this is not the place but, as long as I see these threads and system specs, I'm disappointing and being sorry.

 

4.2GHz? 1080 GTX? SSD? and still stuttering and lower FPS?

What kind of system should we have?

 

As far as I know DCS doesn't support SLI and multicore thing.

Isn't it the time to change game engine?

[BIGNEWY]

There can be many reason for stutter.

 

Anything from a bad config or option in DCS to hardware issues or configuration, or even windows and input problems.

 

It can be difficult to diagnose.

 

Personally I am not seeing stutter in Normandy

It is worth clearing out your metashader2 and fxo folder in your dcs saved games folder.

 

Also remove any unofficial mods and run a cleanup and repair or verify for steam users.

 

Ensure windows and all drivers are up to date also.

 

thanks

Delete all shader files in:

 

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\fxo\

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders\

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders\metafx\

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2\

 

Then restart the sim and let it rebuild them all. This has solved many a glitch before and I do it every time after an update as a matter of course.

here too , also i still have the texture issue where upcoming trees change colour from dark to lighter green .....checked in caucasus and there all normal

 

 

did repair and deleted the metashader folders and fxo several times without success - drivers up to date

If your preload radius is low having to read off HDD might be causing stutter. Try cranking that up.

 

Using ingame MSAA over 2X or using the other ingame AA with MSAA can also cause stutters.

[borisbarzotto]

So i had to put lower settings, i play Caucasus in very high settings and Normandy in low settings

[maks]

after re installing dcs from scratch ......updated the videocard to the newest update .....deleting all the cache shader files......still got the weird changing of colours on the approaching treeline .....i have had dcs installed on this pc for over 5 years without this happening ...after update on the normandy map it started to show ......trees on persian gulf are perfect .....so only in normandy and caucausus having this issue ......frustrating ....maybe some advise for nvidia panel settings to change ?

 

 

all help welcome thanks in advance

I'm experiencing low FPS at some occasions, like heavy missions... and only in Normandy...

Bit of a silly question, have you tried lowering all your settings?

I mean..

Do these conditions exist when the settings are at their lowest?
And worse when theyre at their highest?

[=Skywarp=]

I didn't try lowering my settings, cause with Caucasus/Nevada/Persian Gulf it runs good...

 

So I think Normandy map is the problem...

Okay, well Normandy is a different map with different textures.

 

Try choosing lowest possible settings and then running it again.

Then try highest possible settings and running it again.

 

If there's a very big difference in performance we know which route to go down.

If there isn't a difference in performance and the issue is still there we know it's the other route to go down.

 

Help us, help you.
