missing info Tutorials - Awful Frame Rate

[Toni Carrera]

Hi ED,

I fired this up the second I awoke this morning, straight in to the training missions. The frame rate fell through the floor. I tried them all, and the FPS was about 5 to 10

Thinking something had happened to my system, I loaded up my F/A-18C, UH-60L, UH-1 & M2000C, and all were perfect, exactly the same FPS as normal,  30 on some settings, 60 on others. I had not exited DCS in between each aircraft, it just was as seamless as normal

Reloaded the Apache, back to 5 to 10

Just for your information

First launch after an update can always run rough as it rebuilds shaders etc.

If you are still having issues after that, you need to look at your settings, your computer, does anything need updated, etc.

If everything else is running good, then send in your logs, settings etc so we can take a look. 

I notice you run in SLI as well, can you try without, are you setting your system appropriate for your system, etc.

Hi NineLine,

Firstly, Apologies, I did not realize you are ED Support. I have tried without SLI as you suggested, it made no difference

One thing I have noticed is the amount of RAM usage goes through the roof when loading up the AH-64D

I ran perfmon and ran two tests, both in OpenBeta

1. Ran the cold start training for the F/A-18C and my RAM usage, of which I have 32GB, went up to about 67%

2. Ran the cold start training for the AH-64D and my RAM usage immediately went to 98 to 99%

When I 'End Tasked' the DCS session, my RAM usage down to  26%

I repeated the test from a clean restart of the system, and the results were the same, I even loaded up a few other Training Scenarios for other aircraft I own, all the F's series fighters, all of which went to about mid 60's to low 70s %

I suspect there maybe a memory leak somewhere within the AH-64D code that is only more evident on certain systems. I am going to log this on support, I can't even push the ESC button to get out of the module
