Like the title says, gone from bad to much worse.

I have got similar effect when FPS limit in Nvidia Control Panel is set to unlimited. Try to limit your FPS and check out. It might be easier to isolate the problem then.

Had no effect, but thanks for the help.

If you have got CPU able for hyperthred (BIOS settings), then  try it. It is usually opposite of increase in performance in games but not this time... somehow.

My CPU does not support HT.

Hmm, maybe I am wrong but are you using alot of mods?? If so it could be those try the game with all the mods disabled. and your specs are pretty low..

I think I will have to try this, but as far as my specs go, before 2.9, DCS played very well, especially since multi threading, but even before then. 2.9 has broken my game, as it worked very well (for my specs) before. Thanks.

well that was 2.8 this is 2.9 different beast. It does not matter what it did before what matters is what it is doing now.. you do have mods then it is probally outdated or does not work well with 2.9..

I have a similar CPU, i5 4690k (4 Cores/4Threads), and 2.9 made the game unplayable for me too (in MT that is, starting the ST version, and the freezes are gone).

No Mods installed at all. Tried the "core unparking" fix suggested in other threads, made no difference. Lowered all settings, but that didn't help either.

2.8 MT ran very smooth at capped 60 fps on my system.

Thanks for the tip unfortunately it did not fix the freezes. Weirdly turned all shadows off as many have suggested made things much worse lol.

Well, I thought I had it fixed, did a 100% clean install, limited the FPS in Nvidia CP and the stuttering was almost totally gone. Made a couple of AI missions with a few planes tanks etc and all seemed ok with the odd stutter here and there but playable, at least that's what I thought. As soon as I switch the same missions to a client controlled aircraft the lag and freezing was back, and then even in the AI missions, WTH?

 

P.S. I forgot to mention when I first started the game all settings were on low and the game played like crap, only after I turned the settings to max did it improve. Well, for a short while anyway.

 

I officially give up.

After trying every other fix out there since October(it's now half way through January) this fix worked for me. Hopefully it will work for others too.
