=HH=MADMAX Posted January 15, 2024 Author Posted January 15, 2024 Ok silver I will have a look at that as soon as I get home and thank you for responding so fast
Sacarino111 Posted January 15, 2024 Posted January 15, 2024 Hi @=HH=MADMAX To me, it looks like the stuttering problem some people are having (me between them). Try the "affinity fix" to see if that helps. To me it is ok, although it is not perfect and still have some crashes when loading the mission. And yes, it sucks that a better PC is doing worst...

And that's funny because when I fly in the rotorheads server I don't see uh-60 easiest thing to try as it will allay other possible errors is to go to Saved Games and rename the DCS.openbeta folder to DCS.openbeta.BAK. then run DCS. exit DCS. go to Saved Games and copy \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input folder to the same place in the folder that was recreated. then run DCS again. let me know how it goes.

=HH=MADMAX Posted January 21, 2024 Author Posted January 21, 2024 Wow this sounds complicated to me I feel am going to screw something up . Am thinking wouldn't it just be easier for me to un Uninstall dcs and just reinstall I know I would have to reconfigure my control settings but I feel that would be easier for me then to start renaming folders and moving stuff . Just an idea

Just an idea one never has to uninstall dcs. the repair essentially does this. the saved games is unaffected. if there is debris in the saved games folder, then you will get same results. i can give you instructions in a list step by step if it helps. you can rename the dcs.openbeta folder to .BAK and run the sim. you will not have controls though. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

=HH=MADMAX Posted January 22, 2024 Author Posted January 22, 2024 Ok so just to make sure I do this right I rename this folder / DCS.openbeta.BAK Start dcs up and join a server and how long do I run dcs for
=HH=MADMAX Posted January 22, 2024 Author Posted January 22, 2024 (edited) Then am going to copy the input folder to DCS.openbeta config folder . Am not copying it to the DCS open beta.BAK config folder ? Edited January 22, 2024 by =HH=MADMAX
Lange_666 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 You need to copy that input folder "from" the DCS.openbeta.BAK folder into the newly created DCS.openbeta folder (created by DCS when you ran DCS after renaming it to DCS.openbeta.BAK). The reason for copying only the Input folder is to have all your controllers back on how they were set up in your original DCS.openbeta. That way, you can test with your old inputs already configured. Now that this is done, run DCS again. It will run with a new, fresh default configuration besides the Inputs. This will rule out or point out if your problem sits inside the old SavedGames\DCS.openbeta folder. 1 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Zanchs Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 Hello I have the same CPU as yours, and also had these kind of lag/freezes for a couple of months, starting as soon as the main screen appears. Not sure of the freezing that you are experiencing is the same as mine. I tried almost everything that other folks suggested in this forum (disable GPU acceleration, add DCS folder in Windows Defender exclusion, delete FXO/Metashader folders etc etc). The only thing that actually worked was de-flag the CPU 0 in the DCS's processor afinity (attached). The freezes (that can take up to 8 seconds) go away as soon as that box is de-flagged. I am no computer expert, I have no idea how that workded, but well, I have experienced zero lags/freezes so far. Hope that helps you as well.
