ED Team NineLine Posted June 30, 2021 ED Team Share Posted June 30, 2021 Guys if you dont post your specs and settings, then these posts are just white noise. I have no idea what you are running on or what settings you are using for 2D or VR, I cannot help or pass along to the team. Thanks. 1 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder why the testers/dev's test this stuff on super pc's and not common systems that most people have. I get in general DCS requires better pc's but the fact I can run Syria almost double fps and syria is quite detailed tells me someone messed up on Mariana's.. but I've heard this always happens and in due time they will optimise to be run on the common folks system not nasa pc's I mean honestly and not being mean but did anyone at ED test this properly as they should have seen how bad the fps is versus Syria. No offense but I call bs on this.. my friend has a i7-10 series with a 3080 and plenty of ram and his performance tanked.. still playable for him but close to the point it's not.. being a free map ie core of game this should have better performance than Syria a third party map. I really also hope for improvements and optimisations, but why are you calling bs on us flying 4 ship all evening long? We had different systems (one or two people flat screen, rest vr) I myselfe fly in vr, with a 1080ti, a ryzen 5 2600 and only 16gb ram and had quite good performance, so it is not just raw power but probably some settings or configurations that play together with some hardware configurations that lead to really bad performance for some and quite okay performance for others Edited June 30, 2021 by dSAF Dancer somehow posted everything 3 times Louis|Dancer, foundation member of the digital Swiss Air Force, a group of enthusiasts trying to imitate everything that has to do with Swiss military aviation on dcs.

Veseroth Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It's not spec related though, almost everyone is getting far lower fps on this new map vs Syria.. perhaps you guys could use Syria's optimization as a reference point? If it helps though... i7 2600 Oc'ed to 4ghz, 16gb of ram, 48gb pagefile on ssd, hyper threading disabled, SSD 550 r/w speed, Radeon RX580.. basically a potato, but however I can run Syria which is really demanding at 55+ fps on mostly high settings, mariana's struggle and really struggle to stay above 20 average anywhere near the islands. Friends pc is i7-10k series, 3080, 32gb ram, SSD as well and his fps was halfed or more.. so quite a difference in pc specs but similar results.. it's a map optimisation issue vs pc specs issue. 1 minute ago, dSAF Dancer said: I really also hope for improvements and optimisations, but why are you calling bs on us flying 4 ship all evening long?

Zyll Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 In a single player instant action mission I fly Syria at about 55FPS unless around large cities like Beirut, my FPS is capped at 60. Caucasus does 60FPS with ease. In Marianas I was getting about 45FPS when looking at land, and my max 60FPS when looking out to the ocean.

Thanks for the specs, understand that the Islands are VERY detailed, and very clustered, unlike Syria where things are spread out more, think more in one area. You need to adjust your settings, what you use on Syria may not work on Mariana, its a demanding map. Remember the specs, while we still have some optimization to do, this is a highly detailed map, this is using tech based on the Channel Map, and because its Islands, the objects are more clustered, there is more trees, and more going on in these areas.

Try turning your view distance down to the lowest, then move it up from there, I can say it has a big impact. You canot compart to Caucasus, NTTR or even PG, this is new map tech, and its very dense populated areas. While it still needs some optimizing, its going to be rough on many. 16 minutes ago, Zyll said: In a single player instant action mission I fly Syria at about 55FPS unless around large cities like Beirut, my FPS is capped at 60.

Hi NineLine, My specs are: i5-9600K CPU 16GB RAM GeForce RTX 2070 Using Steam version and VR I have tried to set everything to low or off, unluckily without a noticeable improvement. On the other hand I have removed all the trees and objects with a trigger "remove objects in zone" and I get only +5 / +10fps. So it doesn't seem to be something related with map objects. Maybe this could be a clue to the devs Thanks! Edited June 30, 2021 by daemon1808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted June 30, 2021 ED Team Share Posted June 30, 2021 I recommend, if you really love your current settings, adjust only Visib Range and Terrain Texture, take it to its lowest, then tweak from there till you get something decent. If you are having trouble on the lowest settings, then look at things like shadows and that. Start with something like this, then work your way up, I can get a good solid 60-70 FPS over the heaviest parts with these settings, and then tune it to where I like the look, and like the performance.

And the maps you compared to don't use the tech that the Channel and Marianas use, more objects, more density, etc. But as we said, some optimizations are still coming.

ED Team NineLine Posted June 30, 2021 ED Team Share Posted June 30, 2021 The card in general is not a strong card. I'm sorry to say. Your 580 is roughly the equivalent of a GTX 1060, and even in they heyday of the 10xx series, the 1060 wasn't much.

And I truly get this, but the game is still going to advance, and become more demanding, we cant sit back and develop at a 10 year old level. Every map that comes out, pushes the limits a little bit more, but I have to stress, the map will be optimized more, but don't expect miracles either. 1 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand the point of making the second free map in the game so performance heavy that only the most expensive rigs can fly it at decent FPS but it is a free map after all so I can't complain. Just consider that most players don't even bother to check the forums or steam discussions and all they will see is a free map which is 97% water but they still get really bad performance even when they can enjoy the Caucasus at full detail. I really hope the optimization helps to solve this issue or the PR team will be really busy the next weeks. Cheers! 4 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this may help? see attached images.. first pic is mariana's notice it's barely using 1% of lua pc usage, whereas caucasus is using 3.5-4% also both pics exact same settings, in mariana's 15fps.. in caucasus 101+ fps.. huge difference.. I think there is a memory leak or coding issue. Also same airframe tested both times on KA-50 also notice cpu present.. a bit hard to see on caucasus pic but seems mariana's is barely using my pc resources.
