Too Long load time (sim post start and Net Sim Post start)

[[VEAW] Pims]

Hello, 

Me and other of my team have a long loading time on syria mission. I've to wait for 5min30 even if it is in solo (offline) or multiplayer. 
My loading is in 2 step : 

1st step : it stops on "Mission Load done" for around 2min30
2nd step : it stops on "Sim Post Start" (when offline) and "Net Sim Post start" (in multiplayer) for around 3min

It's not a DNS issue. 

Is anyone known this issue ? 

in attached a log of my loading. 

Thanks

[[VEAW] Pims]

there is a long time beetween these 2 messages : 

2021-11-14 18:48:55.365 ERROR   EFFECTS: ODCSParticleSystem: trying to set parameter for emitter that doesn't exists in shipTrail.lua
2021-11-14 18:50:27.002 WARNING LOG: 6 duplicate message(s) skipped.

For information I already perfomed a clean and repair.

Same on normal missions like Instant Action on Syria?

Have you tried to exclude DCS folder from AV scanning?

[[VEAW] Pims]

A little shorter. but longer than other of my team

No more ideas?

Can you answer Nov 15 questions?

What's your hardware? (CPU, RAM, HDD type and connection/data interface)

I loaded the same instant action mission so we could compare our logs.

If you don't own the WWII assets module, just uninstall it in order to get rid of these messages. If you own it, there's an issue somewhere.

Did you disable these modules to try and spare some loading time?

It seems to spring the following Huey errors.

19 seconds are spent here on your end. On my end, it only takes about 2.5 seconds (my DCS is installed on an SSD by the way).

This part takes 26 seconds on your end, and only 1 second on my end.

 

Please try this:

1. Add this folder as an exception in your antivirus software: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\".
2. Try to run the same mission. Is it any better?
3. If you still find it long, enable your Huey, F-5E, JF-17 and L-39 modules.

I uninstalled and re-installed from scratch last WE. unfortunately, same issue.  

i join you my log (again, but it's mostly the same). 

@16:22:44 to 16:25:20 I was on "sim post start"
@16:25:20 to 16:26:58 I was on "spawn objects"

 

to repely about my hardware config, I have a Ryzen2600X, 32GoRAM, RTX2060 (I think it's enough for DCS)

 

1. Add this folder as an exception in your antivirus software: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\". --> Already done before
2. Try to run the same mission. Is it any better? --> Same thing
3. If you still find it long, enable your Huey, F-5E, JF-17 and L-39 modules. --> since reinstall, they're not in my module proposal, it was a try

do you have an idea on this Error : 

EFFECTS: ODCSParticleSystem: trying to set parameter for emitter that doesn't exists in shipTrail.lua

it takes time on the Log, and this error happened frequently. it seems i'm not alone 

 

[draconus]

Again, what's your DCS disk type and connection/data interface?

[[VEAW] Pims]

oups, I forgot  

it's a SSD M2 port

[draconus]

Can any disk benchmark or even simple explorer folders copying confirm fast tranfers? It should be easily over 300MB/s. We should rule out this first.

Can you load simple Caucasus Su-25T Free flight instant action mission and show us the log? I'd like to rule out any Moose or MP stuff too.

[[VEAW] Pims]

It seems to be solved. I updated few minutes ago my Nvidia driver and I'm loading in a minute now. My updtater was blocked on sept2020....... 

good to know for other people who have a long load time. 

thanks for your time
