Server lag and spawn issues

[atsugi]

on a server I play on regularly after the last couple of updates there are long lag spikes. This happens when starting up the aircraft for around 30-60 seconds. (after spawn in and graphics load) the entire game freezes which has caused jumping/warping of own aircraft and others. This results in aircraft damage of both my aircraft and others that happen to be in the way. It doesn't matter which aircraft I use, It happens on ED aircraft and 3rd party.

 

during gameplay when firing on AI aircraft they lag out of the way of missiles that are tracking.

 

when attacking ground targets there is a significant lag when the radars turn on and when firing missiles whether at me or at others in my area.

 

when landing there is also lag when within 10nm of the airport and again around 2-3nm.

 

I brought it to the attention of the Server admins and they told me to also report my finding here in the forum.

 

When not lagging I get approx. 90fps using your counter in game.

should I get on the server play for a bit then attach the log file?

[Flappie]

Yes, that's a good idea.

It's OK, don't worry.

You seem to have an issue with DCS-BIOS. The following error happened quite a few times:

If you don't know where this error comes from, I suggest you backup your whole DCS-BIOS settings and scripts, then remove them all, do a new installation, and see if the issue persists.

alright a little confused here, are you suggesting a full dcs reinstall here? not an issue if you are but just making sure we are on the same page.

[Flappie]

Nope, I was only talking about a DCS-BIOS mod uninstallation/reinstallation.

You can just open your Export.lua file inside the Saved Games\Scripts folder and put comment ( -- ) in front of the line of DCS-BIOS to make the test:
Something like this after edit:
--dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])
