Massive FPS loss in 2.5.6.54046

[M0ltar]

Ive noticed a significant FPS loss in the latest version of FPS. This FPS loss is, for me at least, as high as 33%. Ive included a couple tracks from 2 different versions of DCS. In the DCS 2.5.6.52437 track I was averaging 120 FPS and noted that when I looked at the sky where nothing is rendered that the FPS would spike up to the neighborhood of 200 FPS. This are great frame rates and make DCS run nice and smooth. In DCS 2.5.6.54046, however, I have noticed that my frames drop to an average of around 70 FPS and never go above 80. The same trick of looking at the sky to drastically increase FPS no longer works as a check.

 

 

 

I tried to ensure that settings between the 2 play through were the same. I was at 4k for both with flat shadows and high everything. I noticed that BIGNEWY had suggested increasing the page file to increase performance, but I am on 64gb of memory with a 2080ti and a 10900k at 5.4ghz. I feel like the page file is the least of my worries with this current build of DCS. This FPS loss makes the game virtually unplayable in MP as MP decreases FPS naturally over SP anyway. Now when I am in an MP server, that I normally would have no issue pinning at 60 for vsync, Im getting 20-50 FPS no matter what I do and where I am on any map.

Hi M0lta,

 

Increasing pagefile is only really need for users with 16gb or less, 32gb or more you will have no problems leaving it system managed.

 

I will take a look at the tracks thanks.

 

Note some users have had issues with windows, antivirus, and MSI Dragon Center creating FPS problems.

 

thanks

Have you noticed any changes in your windows settings, or antivirus?

I've found that on certain maps especially Syria my FPS is really bad, near single digits for about 2-4 minutes and then it smoothes out.
