Disabling Tacview = Huge FPS boost


Recommended Posts

I found out that Tacview recording degrades performance significantly proportionally to the amount of units in any given session. Has anyone noticed this? And is it something that can be made aware to RAIA Software?

 

Disable tac view in special options and join any multiplayer server such as Hoggit or TTI and check it out for yourself.

is there any workaround yet? tacview halfs my fps...

Simply disable tacview in game when you don't need it, also tacview developers have to fix the performance issues since it's a third party mod and there isn't any solution other than uninstalling/disabling it.

honestly i believe the problem is the recording of the tracks. taking away from system resources like disk or RAM or even CPU. i see a quick hesitation when i start or stop a recording of a flight. tacview only tracks telemetry so much less usage as opposed to a 4K video.

exactly as i had stated. in some form or fashion it is taking resources that DCS needs.

I just tried disabling Tacview in Options-Special. It is unchecked, but still saves acmi files, and they work! Rebooted DCS and PC, double checked everything. Wtf? 1.8.6 Starter and latest OB...

interesting. i took a look. when i migrated everything to a new computer, i did not install TACVIEW. i copied my Saved Games from old to new. when i looked at my ACMI files, every flight i have taken on the new rig show in the folder. hah. but i cannot look at them because i do not have TACVIEW installed.

I suspect you still have tacview entries in the Export.lua file in the scripts folder inside saved games

found a workaround that sometimes help.

 

create a file in saved games->dcs open beta-> config called autoexec.cfg. works for me from time to time. couldnt find the reason why it not always working so... it normally does after a restart of my pc.

I guess the line "disable_write_track = true" prevent DCS from recording track files for replays, not tacview files.

correct you will still need to disable tacview
