captain_dalan Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Hey ya all. My first post here. The first page or two don't reveal a similar problem so i'm dropping it here. If a similar thread exists, please merge. I can't say if the issues started with the latest patch, as i seldom fly this kind of missions, but it certainly wasn't there in mid August. The issue. I've been practicing AAR the last 2 weekends. I do my training in 2 sessions, 1 hour of length each. This means close formation flying during 90% of that time. What i start to notice is, that during the 2nd session, i begin to receive periodical stutters. The FPS will drop from the usual 50-60 to about 15, and then pop up again. The stutters are short, but happen about every dozen of seconds or so. At first i thought it was just some memory leak, but the issue doesn't happen when i fly other missions with long loiter times and duration. Only during my AAR sessions, which are all in SP BTW. And they didn't happen the last time i practiced AAR this last summer. Anyone had any similar experiences? Or an idea about what might be going on? Thanks in advance!

Flappie Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Hi. MBAM, TrendMicro, Avast and BitDefender are notoriously causing stutters on DCS. Do you have one of these installed on your PC? On holiday

Hello there! Thanks for the prompt reply :thumbup: Nope, i use ESET Nod 32.

Flappie Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 OK. You should try excluding both Saved Games\DCS and main DCS folders in the ESET Nod 32 parameters. Here's how to do it: https://help.eset.com/eav/12/en-US/idh_config_exclude.html Can you please try and see if DCS is still stuttering once exclusions are set? And if it is, please attach your dcs.log file. On holiday

It may be a couple of days till i can fly a prolonged AAR session (most likely this weekend), but as soon as i do, i'll let you know how it went! Thanks for your help and have a pleasant evening! :thumbup: Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache, F4U Corsair, WWII Assets Pack
Flappie Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Thank you. :) Have a nice evening too. On holiday
captain_dalan Posted October 3, 2020 Author Posted October 3, 2020 Thank you. :) Have a nice evening too. Just coming in from more then an hour and half of AAR and close formation flight with an S-3B tanker, and happy to report no stutters. In the F-14 too. If that doesn't hit my performance, i don't know what will. I mean, yeah, there were some little hick ups when the LOD was changing, but i can easily attribute that to my rig. Thanks again for the help! :thumbup: Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache, F4U Corsair, WWII Assets Pack
