How much fps did you have before the update? Today I reinstalled DCS completely from scratch including the saved games folder and it did not improve the performance. It went from my favorite helicopter simulator into an unenjoyable mess. It isn’t fun to hover on the ground with low fps. If it stays like this in the stable and I won’t have the option to downgrade, all the money I have put into this game is burned. Edited April 18, 2021 by Cabri 2
Anteuz Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) I had more or less solid 45 as running always on reprojection. After update, It dropped to 30 something range and was 20 something over Damascus. This was HAGS on and using 2.5.6 settings (same than above, but 1.0 PD, 170% Steam SS, water medium).

I agree, you have to expect some hiccups with a big version bump. And it's helpful to remind ourselves that we choose to fly the openbeta. 1 1 Have fun. Don't suck.

rwbishUP Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 @fargo007, this is true. I always forget that I'm running a beta release. I've tweaked some settings in my Nvidia CP, and brought my fps back up. Not to 90s of course, but I expected to trade frames for visuals. Now I just have to snoop around and see what might be causing the 2nd mission opening CTD.

So i will give it a last try and make a new clean win 10 install. Last chance, but i doubt it will bring anything as i still dont have problems in stable version! But what does the stable version brings me when all full Multplayer PvP servers like Grownling Sidewinders go Beta.... Damn 2.7.. well done ED I will tell tomorrow how it goes with clean windows.......
Dreadlifter Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 When I first updated to 2.7 I had a big performance drop. FPS were down 10-15 on average and stuttering like crazy and frame times were through the roof. I played around with settings but the only thing that really helped was backing off on pixel density. So I started rolling all the things I had done with past "optimization" guides and tips out there. I turned off hags, updated my nvidia driver, Uninstalled DCS and backed up and then deleted my saved games folder. I reinstalled DCS and then cranked my settings back to where they were but ceased using OTT and just set my pixel density in DCS and started flying and everything was flawless and stable. I see some people did this and it hasn't help them, but for some like myself maybe it will. 1

All the stutters are gone, frame rate is better than in 2.5.6. and I even gained some 80GB in sheer space on my SSD (apparently there were many leftover files from old DCS updates). I can definitely recommend everyone to reinstall their DCS, the effect is amazing. Yeah I have tried everything like deleting saved games folder, rolling back my graphic driver to 461.72. Nothing worked. I am going to try reinstalling DCS now. Also deleted saved games folder again before uninstalling the game.
SCPanda Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Also it's really weird that the FPS loss does not occur when you look at the sky with the fancy new clouds. Instead it happens when you are flying low or looking at crowded areas like cities or airports with heavy traffic, and the loss is around 30% compare to 2.5.6. I wonder if ED are taking at look at this issue.
Cabri Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Since this was not listed under “known issues” of the changelog I asked the support team about it. The answer was: “DCS World has added new clouds, improved graphical effects and much more, therefore DCS requires more powerful hardware. […] You cannot revert the water display to the previous version[…]“ Really hope it gets sorted out, since I am not in the position, now should i have to buy a new PC. The performance be optimized with time (take X-Plane as a role model), not worse in my opinion -> so people loose the ability to play the game they paid for. Reinstalled completely and no optimization tips helped unfortunately.

Ithronwise Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Drag80 said: The real problem is the un availability of graphic cards. The real problem ist that DCS has an old graphics engine, which is not able to use the advantages of the modern graphics cards optimally. Another problem is that ED is using high end rigs to develope DCS, but 80% of all gamers out there just have older or midrange gaming computers. So there don't know what does it mean to play such a simulator with all these restrictions you need to accept to run it smoothly. But that's not only a problem of ED. Almost all software companies (not only for games) developing there products for the upper 20% of customers. With a new graphics engine and an optimized source code DCS would run with all high details also on a 5 years old gaming rig smoothly.

If they run high end rig ofc it could be better, specially as it seems ED optimized more the "new" high end hardware Anyway i hope you get it optimized, thx. Still enough have problems.

JIMJAM Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) FB bricked my Oculus. You must now have a FB account and log in to use VR. No big deal but FB has locked my account for TOS breakage. It seems I am too young "57" and for my "safety" and other vague community reasons FB wants a original copy of either a DL, a B certificate, passport, bank financial records or a SSN. A incredible request from a company that openly sells your personal information and no telling who has access. The terms even say any pictures or date post is THEIRS and they own it. I hope nobody gave them such personal data just to use VR. Edited April 19, 2021 by JIMJAM
... Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 I must be the only one, but I have a 6GB 1060 and the performance is better than ever. In my case there is no negative impact. https://launionescuadron.webnode.es/
