Multiplayer lobby

[WelshZeCorgi]

I noticed yesterday that as more servers are loaded into the lobby, the FPS in the menu drops significantly, eventually becoming a 1 frame per second nightmare before freezing. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, for me, in VR, it is quite nauseating.

 

Entering "2" in the number of players box reduces the lag considerably.

yep it makes no sense to me either why the list populating has such an FPS hit - i can cycle from 45fps to 5 fps and everything inbetweeen.

 

Then again the 3D hanger makes no sense at all either in the background - especially when you just want to check F10 or are playing in tac command - its a huge overhead and ive yet to be able to prove if its the F10 map or the hanger itself causes lock outs in FPS (that are only recovered by opening another full screen application on the PC such as task manager and then alt tab back in).

 

That said what i am learning recently anything to do with VR, that is posted on the Engligh forums falls on a large deaf ear.  Your actually wasting your time posting.  Do not expect anything from ED on this one, its been said many times in the past and many times its ignored.  Then again VR is very much a poor relative and its not a priority for ED in anyway, which is a shame as they risk getting left behind.  Release of the open Beta 2.7 for me was the final proof required that VR is just not a priority for them in any way (vibrating clouds on such a long awaited improvement, clearly this would have been evident early in the dev cycle - and before that rotating clouds.  They say its a top priority to resolve but it should never have been an issue to resolve in the first place if VR had any significance).

When I enter Multiplayer from the main DCS menu, the Multiplayer menu 'server search' is forever slow. Even if I filter to 'North America' it takes forever to update (no spinning 'wheel' at the top). And if I do see a server I want to join while it's updating the server list and click on it, it takes a long time to highlight that server so I may join. If I leave the server selection on 'ALL' it never completes and just stall out. Had no issues with it in 2.6.x. BTW: I have a 200Mb internet service over hard line.

They could at least ping favorite servers first, but it seems random exacerbating the problem.

Do you have Windows auutotuning off? If so, please try turning it on (which is default W10 setting).

Even with Windows Auto-Tuning on (mine is on by default), moving the mouse while loading of the multiplayer server list in VR is very choppy.

So that's not a solution.

Not just VR. FPS jumps for me too, and I play on a monitor. 

 

Sometimes it's quite annoying since the lag and freeze can make you click the wrong sever to get into when the sever list is still refreshing.

OK. I'll try to reproduce tonight.

Here's what I get in the current OB MP lobby.

 

 

Is it slower on your end? Is your mouse as alive as mine or does it get completely frozen?

[Lange_666]

In 2D it's like in the video, smooth, however, if i bring up the FPS counter, there's a huge drop in FPS but every time the server list gets new servers added. But the mouse moves smooth.

In VR however, every time there there are servers added to the list, the mouse freezes which makes mouse movement very choppy until the entire list is loaded.
