S. Low Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Couple days ago when I tried to start DCS (Steam version) it had forgotten all of my purchased module authorizations, even though I was logged in. I shut down the game, re-started, and it seemed ok, but it had forgotten a couple graphical settings. I'm pretty sure I have my settings back to where I had them before, which is almost all maxed out. My issue now is that now while flying I'm seeing randomly my cpu spike to 100% usage for a couple seconds, then go back down to 40-60% like normal. This didn't happen before Sunday 09-20-20. Did you guys change anything on your end in anticipation of a patch maybe? Edit: I have a really good cooler on my cpu so even at 100% I'm only pushing 68C, but I'd rather not fly around at 100% usage if it can be avoided... Edit 2: It's possible that I was using my other custom save slot for the graphics settings to get the higher fps, which would have lower cpu usage too.... I can't fully remember. Whatever the issue, it started when DCS forgot my module authorizations and then forgot some of my graphical settings. Edited September 22, 2020 by Relic

This sounds like some files got damaged/deleted in your Saved Games\DCS folder. I'm not convinced the problem you've experienced is linked to the CPU spikes you're having now, but there's an easy way to find out: you should try renaming the aforementioned folder as "DCS_backup" and then launch the game so it makes a brand new folder. You'll need to set your prefered graphics parameters and you won't have your keybindings set, but this is just a test. Then try flying a bit and see if you keep having these CPU spikes. ---

I’ll get back to you after I test
