uhoh7 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 This is an issue which I can duplicate over and over. It only occurs on certain missions, e.g airbase under siege, and later campaign mission with supply ships in port. I have noticed it on several others. In addtion to specs below I have x-fi fatality pci-e, ch prthrottle, pedals, ms ffb2. Mission will play without alt-tab. Any alt-tab to desktop--you cannot return, though you hear sim in background, and it is listed as running in task manager. Computer in general will not respond untill DCS is killed in task manager. I alt tab to enable second core in processor. Again only certain mission will do this--but they will do it every time.

Airway Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 You are right but I can help you with another hint, that already has been posted several times here. You can use a free tool like "PriFinitty - v1.1.5" to auto-set affinity for dcs.exe http://www.geocities.com/edgemeal_software/Files/PriFinitty_1.1.5.zip So there's no need to alt-tab out of the game. Regards, Airway
runer Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I've starting having this same problem. I think since I used the record AVI option in the mission editor. If I alt tab out to desktop I get a partial title bar in the top left of the screen but it won't go back into the game. I never used to have this problem. Yes I can avoid alt tabbing in SP but in MP when I go from the cockpit back to the MP menu it drops to desktop and won't go back in. I have to ctrl alt del and relaunch which is a bit annoying. I'm running Vista 32 bit with a 9800 GT. I haven't changed the drivers for any hardware since it was working, so I don't know what it could be other than using record AVI.

Regards, Airway TY for tip airway---prefinity and BS do not get along on my machine--I tried tonite, not only will it not set the second core, but a crazy sound glitch occurs with broken and crackling sound. Remove prefinity and all is well. Prefinity may not like vista 64 or my sound card. set affinty is fine however.

I'm wondering if that method will also set both cores on "refly" I have no sound issues or any other and will test the wombat method further.

Shrubbo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Yes, works every single time. Refly, restart, reboot whatever. As long as you fire up off the shortcut supplied you never have any problems with affinity again :) i9-9900K,Z390 Aorus Master, 32GB GSkill Trident F4-3600 DDR4, ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti, Oculus Rift S.

uhoh7 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Shrubbo---it works great on the missions I mentioned above. I'm getting a solid 30fps at 2560x1600 on the ships delivering supplies, which is a heavy mission. Again TY sir. I'll rep those boys.

uhoh7 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 I'm not sure about anything but vista64---for that I would forget prefinity and use the method shrubbo points to, far cleaner, no need to alt-tab or anything and seems even smoother. You just dump those files in your main folder and use the shortcut for your processor. Works great and nothing left down in the tray.
