gerrah Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 So since it's possible to install Windows 11 now has anyone tried running latest OB on it? I'm curious if there's any performance change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 7, 2021 ED Team Share Posted October 7, 2021 Some team members are already running it and not reported any issues. I dont have it yet but have enabled TPM on my motherboard in preparation. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-11-specifications#primaryR3 Just make sure you check your motherboard is compatible before 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Aerovenator Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I installed Windows 11 on my computer yesterday (upgrade from 10 to 11 - no new installation): The system in question: Intel i7 9700K 32 GB RAM RTX2070 Super DCS on SSD relevant peripherals consist of: Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + TPR rudder pedals. Oculus Rift S First the most important thing: I could play DCS with the same performance in VR as under Win10 (Tested with a freeflight of the Mi-24 in Syria). I can't yet say whether this is also the case for very extensive missions. I felt that DCS also started faster. The Thrustmaster TARGET software that I use was a bit twitchy, but after I pulled the stick and throttle once and plugged them in again, everything was ok. A similar problem I also had after a Win10 feature update. Other than that, no adjustments were necessary. Regardless of DCS, I have the impression that the system generally responds faster. But the taskbar and the start menu sucks and can hardly be adjusted. I7-9700K -- 32GB RAM -- RTX 4070 -- Virpil T-50CM3 Throttle + WarBRD Base -- Thrustmaster TPR -- Quest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCri Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) There is some small degradation for me, nothing major but it is visible Right now there are two issues with amd processors Cppc is not working as intended. Normally if you run any single threaded workload (wink wink ) windows choose the fastest core on the cpu, the one capable of higher boost clock. Not working at the moment. L3 cache latency is huge right now, triple the usual value. Again, very important in games and memory intensive applications. Microsoft and amd are aware of this and a patch is expected shortly.

Dangermouseb51 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Evening, I have installed Win11 and am running Beta.... I have noticed that the game takes ages to load into multiplayer and seems to hang with 'Mission Load Done' if i leave for a couple mins will eventually get into lobby... Note: Only really playing on Buddyspike Blue Flag Persion... Interested what others are experiencing ... Dangermouse [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comox Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Well on a fresh Windows 11 install, windows mixed reality can’t install. So if you have a Reverb G2 like me, you won’t be able to use it, in DCS or any other app. I’ll wait until a fix on my other win10 install… It’s not a all à DCS related problem, just windows… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrah Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Any info on really old drivers? I'm using HOTAS Cougar and miraculously it's working under Win10 but I'm afraid it won't be under 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a BIOS setting to enable that Orwellian 84 spyware chip would change that, but I'm not gonna do that unless they forces me to. So that's gonna be 2025 for me probably. I still remember the NoTCPA campaigns like 20 years ago. Wasn't successful, as can be seen today. In other words: "We value your privacy!" - Privacy left the chat. Other than that I just hate it when every company tries to be Apple and as a result having their stuff getting worse (who'd have thunk it?). Samsung doing the same BS for years and even Oculus started it a while ago... not gonna follow that trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chlywly Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Was in Windows 10 and DCS was running incredibly well on MAX settings and looking SUPER sharp. Frankly I was so surprised how well it was running I mean flawless. Desktop or VR. Now in Windows 11 even Desktop mode max settings it's not doing well Not sure what happened but it's frustrating...
