fastfed Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'll keep short. Playing VR works fine until my cpu decides to just go to 15% usage or so and then I get a slide show. Restart the mission or game and I get full usage again with fine frames, then 5-10 or whenever it decides it starts slide show again and my cpu drops. I am guessing its because the cpu is dropping its usage that is causing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try setting Win10 processor priority to programs and maybe check the the cpu affinity of DCS program. Banned by cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurinko Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Check if it ain't overheating and auto throttling. Is the cpu fan turning and well attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarongamma6 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've also been having this same issue. It seemingly just cuts CPU usage suddenly to very low levels. High priority on the game, on an SSD, no overheating or auto throttling, and a bunch of other things I can't even remember. DCS has become borderline unplayable because I'll get a solid 5 minutes of good performance while I start the plane and get loaded. Then before I eve can get to my target my FPS tanks until I restart the entire game. Beyond some high altitude laser guided bombing I got nothing I can actually do now because this kicks in before I can do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAW_Impalor Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Check your VRAM utilization in Task Manager - see if the slowdown coinsides with it getting full. If it is, google for ways to free VRAM (get rid of cliffhouse, SteamVR home and DCS hangar). 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
