Radio messages causing fps drops/stutters

[Wolf8312]

I've noticed in some missions certain radio messages (not all interestingly) are lagging the game and causing fps drops/stutters. Anyone experiencing the same, or know of a workaround? Seems especially prevalent in the mission Scud busters. Pretty unplayable, but there seems to be a lot of stutters in certain missions in 2.8.

And honestly, what is up with the textures on certain missions? The missions take long enough to load up as it is, and then it takes like another 5 minutes for the textures to load in (the ground is water so hard luck if you start in the air). Not even sure when the textures stop loading in, and for all I know this could be degrading performance too!

Yeah seems to be worse on some missions or even modules (appache is not great performance wise) as well. Spawning of planes and various assets has been an age old problem with DCS but I don't rememember radio messages doing the same!

in a few F14 campaign missions the whole game crashed after a radio message - so it must have a big impact on the game - hope this will be fixed

Hi, 

please keep to one issue per post, it gets very complicated having to deal with more than one issue per post. 

Please also supply as much information as possible. 

a track replay showing an example of the issue 

your dcs log 

your system spec 

A guide for reporting issues can be found here 

thank you

It's okay, I just wanted to see if others are experiencing the same (on the Scud busters mission) as these are really issues (fps drops when assets are being loaded in are as old as DCS) that I would expect the devs are aware of anyway. I was not so much reporting a bug but hoping someone would come up with a fix, though for this reason I'll keep my thoughts out of the bug section in future!

Second post, was really more of a rant, as I know for a fact most DCS users are suffering from the missing textures problem as there are so many posts about it already!
