Periodic FPS drop on Multiplayer

As the title says, I am experiencing periodic FPS drops on multiplayer servers with heavy scripting. The FPS drop is very periodic (every few seconds), and the graphics settings do not seem to affect the occurrence.

I am not experiencing this outside of multiplayer or on multiplayer servers with low scripting. For example, if I join the 4YA Aerobatic server with 14 players, I have a smooth experience. However, if I join a 4YA training server or a Grayflag server with 14 players, I experience this periodic drop, as can be seen in the video attached.

It should be noted that this video was recorded using the personalized graphics settings attached. However, if I lower the graphics settings to the preset low ones, the issue persists (with lower VRAM usage and higher average FPS but still the periodic one frame freeze).

I have read many forum threads and tried numerous things, sadly to no avail, so I have resorted to creating this new topic.

Things I have tried/remarks:

  • detailed PC specs are in the log file (i9-9900KF, RTX 3070, 64GB RAM)
  • All mods have been removed
  • Ran a slow repair of DCS
  • DCS is on an SSD
  • Pagefiles are on NVME
  • DCS main folder and saved games folder are set as Windows Defender exceptions
  • All drivers are up to date
  • Shaders have been reset (Deleted the fxo and metashaders2 folders in Saved Game)
  • old track files have been deleted
  • Hotplug devices have been disabled
  • All power-related settings in Windows and NVIDIA Control panel are set to performance
  • Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is off

I am a bit at a loss here and would appreciate some help. Thanks !

Do you have the OH-6 mod installed? I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a file in the scripts folder under saved games.

No way... I had seen that the Oh-6 was causing issues so I removed it but I didn't realise that there was a left-over script in the the Saved Game folder. This would have saved me so much trouble... Thank you very much @JD Swann it was indeed the issue.
