Kovacs Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 HI, I have the impression that there are memory leaks or that sort of thing, with a degradation of performance progressively, that ends with an unplayable game or crash, even when changing missions ,planes, or map (after going back to the menu). Very strange . Do you encounter this type of problem? Maybe it's just me but i had no problem before Thanks a lot Kr I9 9900k , 32 Go , Oculus quest 2 , 2080 RTX

Same stuff was happening with hornet few months ago when SA page was displayed. This used to happen on the A10 mfds, when first came onto the scene . Also fps drops when using clusters . And that was years ago . But now its kind of fixed . it just needs tweaking by Devs . 2.7 has had a big update . New lighting , new textures ,new clouds ect .

Fastbreak Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Today's update brings everything, but no fps / frametime improvement. You have set your piorities, haven't you? BTW "I appreciate those of you having performance issues, we know you are not making it up, PC's can be a mystery sometimes, I have said before I have seen the same machines perform differently for no apparent reason and it can be frustrating. We will continue to optimise and look at individual cases, try to help where we can." I don't feel amused by such a comment. That's a quite audacious way to shifts the existing performance loss to users' side. Different systems are daily business in software development. If ED is not able to manage the performance problems of their software in a reasonable time, they should at least direct their staff to not communicate such a statement that subtly implicits a properly working 2.7 DCS version. To remember: It is not by any means! And, it's not a great help to continue to optimise, either. It has simply to be ED's necessary fast step to a flawless DCS 2.7 version that makes ~15% (maybe more?) of the users also harness their product at all - and a premise to sustain their customer relationship. ...

Hi Jurinko, Yes and I didn't use them before in VR, but in fact with my new settings the result is good (ans beautiful) with. I feel like I'm looking for the holy grail with all these adjustment tests I'm really satisfied with the oculus Quest 2. Kr 1

It still stays OB for everyone to test (for free and to have more test results). If OB doesn't work for whatever reason then so be it, it still stays a testing platform. If you can't get your head around that then OB is not for you, multiplayer or not.

As you said if you want to play MP you are almost required to make the switch to OB unless you have your own server. You managed to contradict yourself inside of a single post. Moreover let me remind you that often the stable has more bugs and performance hiccups than the open beta (since bugs are patched in the OB and transferred to the stable months later). What happened last year with 2.5.6 is a really good example of that. I agree this not how a stable/open beta should work but it is what we get. So again your comment was pointless. 3

peachmonkey Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) in case of VR players are looking through this thread. Ever since the update the stutter near the ground when looking over the wings was constant no matter the graphic settings, SS, SteamVR resolution, etc. The culprit on my system (5900x, 2080TI, G2): motion smoothing enabled in both WMR and SteamVR It wasn't a problem in DCS 2.56, and it's not a problem with IL2. But DCS 2.7 is picky about it apparently. 1) enable reprojection/smoothing in SteamVR 2) go to file steamapps\common\MixedRealityVRDriver\resources\settings\default.vrsettings and remove or comment out the line "motionReprojectionMode" All the stuttering near the ground is gone. Now it's all about maintaining the basic frame-rate with textures, msaa, hw, etc.. Edited April 23, 2021 by peachmonkey 1
jurinko Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 So it will be set to this or that? "driver_Holographic_Experimental" : { "motionReprojectionMode" : "auto", "driver_Holographic_Experimental" : { // "motionReprojectionMode" : "auto", You said to enable it but then to comment it out (I suppose to neutralize it by //)

I think it was introduced recently. It's independent from the Microsoft WMR one. So in the end you have actually have 2 separate methods: one built in to SteamVR and another built in to WMR environment. If you run them both you get stutters. So enable SteamVR but disable WMR one (via the defaultvr.settings the file). Yes, I'd replace // with a #, which is a universal 'comment' symbol. Edited April 23, 2021 by peachmonkey
jurinko Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Now I got it, thanks. Will try it. Someone recently commented that 2.7 broke reprojection and he was onto something. 1

deadbert Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) I'm getting there after seeing my FPS half between 2.5 and 2.7 For me the thing that offered the biggest increase was deleting the saved games folder. I had previous deleted the shaders to no effect, but deleting the whole folder helped. The major "problem" I'm having now is the CPU frametimes. For example, typically in 2.5 I would see this: And in 2.7...... CPU is all over the place. This is a AMD 5900X Can't get to the high settings I had previously, and have had to drop Steam resolution from 300% to 100% to get the same GPU frametimes Edited April 24, 2021 by deadbert 1

RedX Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Exactly the same on my AMD 5800x, the CPU frametimes are through the roof with 2.7 update. Maybe this is some kind of thing that is CPU or chipset related as that would explain why not so many are reporting the problem? Perhaps Intel/Nvidia is more tested and optimized? Maybe ED has no AMD hardware to test with due to cryptominers buying it all? In any case, the performance issue has to do with DCS core(?) engine overloading the CPU. Graphics is hardly related, because if I hit "pause" everything is super smooth and un-pausing makes things go slow and jittery again. Tried to remove the infamous windows KBs (500...something) and vortex calculation - no help. Ditto driver updates.

I have seen my frametimes spike up to about 20+ a lot of the time in MP with a lot of red and orange spikes. Before 2.7 It was normally solid green and frametimes stayed below 20 but now they go above 20 a lot. I have tried a lot of tweaks. Reduced in game settings and also turned off dynamictickrate in windows and disabled HPET HAGS etc. Nothing helps. My system is a 9900KS at 5.1ghz 2080ti FTW3 32gb ram and I allocated paging file size of 32gb to 64gb range. I mean it is a new beta version and betas are not final I get that but the major variation in performance people get even with similar specs is odd. Also they should look at ways of optimizing for the majority that have lessor hardware. This should not be a game meant only for the elite range systems.
