Performance issues - New launcher launches ST or MT?

[captain_dalan]

null

nullBottom right says it's running MT, but ingame performance, especially when looking around is all over the place, as bad if not worse then it was in ST before update. Is the new launcher launching ST or MT? And is there a way to launch DCS by bypassing the launcher? null

I can confirm that especially in the external view while panning around performance seems to be very inconsistent and stuttery.

Where do you put this? And which file it is exactly?

EDIT: also, i don't know what they did with the performance, but even my launcher video is stuttering

This gave me an idea, i disabled the launcher and started DCS.exe from the MT-bin folder directly as i did before the update, et voila! Performance issues seem gone. Whatever the issues are, they may be launcher related!

Can you explain how to do that please?

On the Settings page there is a switch on the right.

@diego999 when you have the launcher onscreen, go to "options", on the right hand side of the window is the slider switch to "disable launcher". Just turn it off, then go to your root install folder. Scroll to "bin-mt" folder, open it and launch DCS using the DCS.exe inside.

[captain_dalan]

You can also disable it manually, by editing the options.lua in your savedgames/dcs/config folder, and setting the value for launcher to false, but i wouldn't recommend it if you feel uncomfortable with editing lua files.

Thank you guys.

How to enable it once again after disableing it? By editinig lua?

 

[Spetz]

You can disable/enable from one of the settings pages within DCS itself.

Go to the in-game settings>Misc and the option to enable/disable the new Launcher is there on the right-hand side set of buttons.

It did seem to improve the random stutters I was having, but I did not test extensively. As the launcher adds nothing for me, I'd rather just leave it disabled.

I have got stuttering effect ingame when using launcher and after turning it off the problem is gone as you said above.

Thanks

Same here. I only use VR quest 3. After patching I started game and as soon as I was in the cockpit I got OpenXR prompting me and I notioced my setings had reverted to default. Fixed that up and noticed game was stuttering.  Saw thread on redit and disabled the lauicher. Started game fropm, desktop shortcut to MT exe and no stutters. I'm amazed they never picked this up in testing. PC's 4090, 7800x3d, 64GB@6000 and NVME drives.

Glad it worked out for you guys! Cheers!
