Frame rate

[Orwell]

I don't run VR. I run DelanClip. Open Beta.

I usually run 120 FPS+ in all conditions.

Lately I'm noticing my frames stuck at 45, and then every second that goes by, I lose 1 frame.

I watch my frame counter go down to 44, 43, all the way down to 16 frames a second.

 

Of course, this happens when I'm on approach.

 

I'm trying to fly like this for 3-5 minutes. Giving myself a massive headache.

 

Then poof! 100 frames a second.

For about 1 minutes and then 99.

97.

93.

All the way back down to 17.

 

What's going on inside the soup sandwich that is DCS code?

 

I feel like DCS is "that close" to being a good experience over all, but crushes my hopes and dreams.

I get home, PUMPED to fly... Excited. I literally jog over to my computer.

 

And then it's always something.

 

Why!??!?!!?!!

Because you're on open beta :)

This is a well-known problem .

Perhaps it will be addressed in this week's update .

 

If you have room , consider downloading the stable version as well . That way , when ED crushes your dreams in OB , you have an alternative .

If you have room , consider downloading the stable version as well.

Copy/Paste is enough and then do a downgrade instead of downloading the whole shabang again. Goes a lot quicker. Then get Skatezilla's updater tool to manage/switch both installs.

Sounds like the nVidia driver issue with the SA page of the Hornet to me as I've seen a vid doing just what you described. Get the latest 442.something and get rid of 445 or higher versions. They don't like DCS.

Install the stable release and forget the beta, most of your issues will disappear.
