2 Months into 2.9.... Thump's Question on Multiplayer Improvement Progress

[Thump]

Can we get an update as to where we're at?  This has been a R O U G H release....

I think 2.9 has been pretty good so far with MT and the new graphics options the exception is the server crashing issues that have not been fixed and they rolled that issue out to stable  ekkk

2.9 wrecked MT for AMD Ryzen users, I'm sticking with 2.8 (which works flawlessely) until it gets sorted out

Running a 5800X3D and i have a smooth experience under 2.9, both MT and ST.

That's awesome. Glad you're having fun.

I didn't want to troll and i also did read that AMD CPU's are more prone to problems after the 2.9 release but i guess if someone post a message that there are problems and then point out that it's an AMD CPU problem, certainly if it's in the topic title, only AMD users will jump into that topic making it look like AMD CPU's are the real problem.
But if you start searching a bit into the 2.9 problems and then look at people's specs you'll find that there are also a lot of Intel users with the same problems. So...?
If its really really an AMD CPU problem, what does it cause for you that it doesn't cause for me? Clearly something else must be the problem since i don't have the same issues.
And i really have a smooth ride (and smooth for me means smoooooth).
I've also seen the Task Manager screen shots where people CPU's one or more cores go to 100% utilisation and then say, hey that's my problem. Well, I have that to but it isn't causing any trouble here so is it really an AMD CPU problem (i doubt it)?
The below screenshot is DCS in MT with high to very high settings but CPU hyperthreading OFF (with it ON i don't see different performance wise in DCS but MSFS runs better imho with it turned off so i leave it off).

I don't think it is necessarily AMD ryzen. I am using a 5800x3d and 2.9 is a good update for me. Sorry that it's not working for you. What issues are you having?

Hi, 

if you are having issues its best to make a thread and attach your dcs log and dxdiag so we can try to help you. 

I have moved this thread to performance issues, hopefully with the data we can try to help you

Thank you

[Thump]

I appreciate the out reach but it has to do with MP being heavily affected by the 2.9 update and was looking to see where the devs were on finding a solution to it.

Not in general. Ryzen 5900 here and after initial hickups (frametime spikes) it now runs smooth as butter.....

Thump, reading between the lines across threads and discords the planned fix was for mid November but its taking longer than expected. Testing is being done on 4YA server but I dont think its conclusive yet. There is another open beta patch slated for December as Razbam said they have F15E patch ready to go for that.

As a bit of commentary/feedback from myself and friends I think the bug was introduced 29.10.23 under 2.9.0.46801 . To introduce such a problem for this long and not only to choose not to rollback the beta patch but subsequently push it to stable I think is very poor decision making and doesn't utilise the purpose of a beta branch. I've stopped playing for the most part now aside from offline practice.

Thank you for the info.  Much appreciated.

Our team is working on the issue, and there is a public test tonight on the 4YA server to get some more data and to test.

You can join the server on IP 145.239.150.127:10308 or search for DEBUG in the server browser.

 

edit: moved the thread to multiplayer now the subject is clearer. 

thanks

Thanks for the update BigNewy, we are chomping at the bit to get back into the 60 player action  I'll share the details with my squadron.
