Huge texture loading problem (please help :()

[mobile83]

Hello,

I can't take it anymore, I can't enjoy playing anymore because I have textures that take up to three minutes to load, the game freezes and everything starts loading, even with single-player missions.

The only way to do this is to use a plane with a PLAYER slot. If I use a client slot, the textures take a long time to load.

I've made a video to show you how this works, but you should be aware that it's still very fast. In multiplayer mode, it can take up to 5 minutes to load the cockpit.

1) It does it with all planes
2) I've had DCS installed on this brand-new PC for a month now, and it's a brand-new PC!
3) I deleted all dcs and reinstalled everything, and it's the same.

My config:
Processor IntelCore i5-10400F - 2.9GHz/12Mo/LGA1200/BOX
PC memory KingstonKF432C16BBA/8 RGB (2x8Go DDR4 3200 PC25600)
SSD Crucial1To M.2 NVMe - CT1000P3PSSD8 - P3 Plus
RTX 4060 Ti graphics card

I'm getting between 80 and 150 FPS once the textures are loaded.

Help me, I can't play anymore I have no fun, every mission I have to wait 5 minutes for everything to load, my plane is on water and everything loads slowly. In solo mode, it's the same EXCEPT if I put PLAYER in place of client, and I've attached a video to show you how.

Here's a SOLO video, but honestly, if it were like this it would still work, even if it's annoying, but in multiplayer with friends it's a 5-minute wait.

PLEASE help me

I saw that my ram was being used at 99% when loading, it must be a ram problem, 16 gig is not enough, how can I lower my ram usage?

[Flappie]

You can start by lowering your Preload Radius (set it to 100, that's what I do).

If that's not enough, lower the textures quality in DCS options.

[Glide]

I find Textures = Medium, Terrain Textures = Low takes the pressure off the ram/vram with very little loss of visual detail.  Terrain Shadows and Anisotropic filtering can be Off.  I use High Shadows, but if you wan to shrink the load even more set Shadows to Flat Only, No secondary shadows, no screenspace shadows., no ambiant occlusion, no screenspace refrections.  Give that a run.

Visibility Range = Medium is as high as you want to go.
