tribbin Posted June 1, 2024 Posted June 1, 2024 (edited) As some people may know I'm recording a lot of Phantom kills. Often times there is a very notable stutter shortly after, then the aircraft is (presumably exploding) outside the field-of-view; during gameplay that is not very disturbing, but it ruins my recordings. I have 16GB of VRAM and 64GB of RAM, so it should not have anything to do with swapping textures. Some people say that I reduce them into too many small particles, but in any case there is something very unoptimized with the post-Reap mechanism. day5_3_hits_2.mp4 Edited June 2, 2024 by tribbin 1 Crystal Light • TM AVA • TM Warthog set • TM PTR • RX6950XT • 5800X3D • 128GB F-86 • F-4 • F-5 • F-16 • F/A-18 • P-51D • UH-1H • L-39 • Yak-52 • MiG-15 • MiG-21 • Mi-24 • Mi-8 Supercarrier • Syria • PG • Sinai • Nevada • Kola (refunded) Christen Eagle II <-- Fix the annoyingly short engine sound loop (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/199243-lawn-mower-engine-sound/?do=findComment&comment=5389028)

Cobra847 Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 Does this happen if you kill another type of jet? E.g. F-15E or F-14? Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

I have personally not encountered an F-14 yet and have never played on other servers, except for KOREA-1952. Will propose to recreate similar situations with F-15E and F-14 to our Fagot Squad, but my own free time is limited.

I see a lot of performance optimizations (some specifically for busy servers) in the changelog. Will see if I can see any stutter after the patch, as I'd rather do what our squad was intended to do with the limited time I have.

Here I have a video with the same stutters, but without having killed him. Seems more related to getting really close (which of course happens much more often when you fly the Fagot). 1 Crystal Light • TM AVA • TM Warthog set • TM PTR • RX6950XT • 5800X3D • 128GB F-86 • F-4 • F-5 • F-16 • F/A-18 • P-51D • UH-1H • L-39 • Yak-52 • MiG-15 • MiG-21 • Mi-24 • Mi-8 Supercarrier • Syria • PG • Sinai • Nevada • Kola (refunded) Christen Eagle II <-- Fix the annoyingly short engine sound loop (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/199243-lawn-mower-engine-sound/?do=findComment&comment=5389028)
tribbin Posted June 12, 2024 Author Posted June 12, 2024 @Rapierarch said that 16GB vram was not enough with my graphics settings in VR on ECW and gave me some advise on which settings I could lower. I have lowered some (texture/LoD) setting and recorded a close pass that would normally induce a stutter, but there were no stutters this time. Will do some more coming Saturday, but this looks promising. If my problems are gone, I'll give some details on my changed settings and mark it as solution. day7_pantom_1.mp4 Crystal Light • TM AVA • TM Warthog set • TM PTR • RX6950XT • 5800X3D • 128GB F-86 • F-4 • F-5 • F-16 • F/A-18 • P-51D • UH-1H • L-39 • Yak-52 • MiG-15 • MiG-21 • Mi-24 • Mi-8 Supercarrier • Syria • PG • Sinai • Nevada • Kola (refunded) Christen Eagle II <-- Fix the annoyingly short engine sound loop (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/199243-lawn-mower-engine-sound/?do=findComment&comment=5389028)
