i7-9700KF has 8 cores and 8 threads with "--affinity=7FF", but the max affinity is "FF".  How does 7FF work?

This post is about cores reaching 100%, is this what you are experiencing?

Your log is filled with errors from your mods and terrains. Remove those (including saved games mods/terrains) and run a repair. You can put them back, check the log to see which ones are causing errors each time, eg zip driver failing to open them  

Also what @scommander2 said, remove that process affinity mask from your shortcut, you’re killing off 3 cores (which seems like a weird number) making them not available. Recommend upgrading to Windows 11 as well to make better use of your cores.

Run DCS from bin instead of bin-mt as well, they’re both multithreaded and bin-mt is going away. Ensure that DCS is also not being run as admin  

If you’re not using TacView then remove that as well as can cause additional performance issues.

I had this setting on the executable file, but i already removed it and the freezing still happening.

Is that before or after removing you mods and using the Skatezilla App to run a full repair?

Before. I performed the full repair and cleaning through of the launcher also after. However ,i rolled back to the DCS 2.9.13.6818.2 version while they solve this problem.

I see the same problem on our AMD server (latest patches as of yesterday). If I remove the overloaded cores from our highest demanding server instances and add them back, it looks a lot better - affinity setting needs looking into please - in how far this is related to a performance issue with the new Germany CW map running on our 2 most demanding server instances I cannot say. 

Before 8am below - instances running with "unpatched" GermanyCW map. After 8am new version with re-saved mission. Peaks removed after 9:45 by re-setting affinits on 2 cores which ran with 90-100% load. Me joinign at 11am. @BIGNEWY

@Schlomo1933 Hey, I don't see anything bad in your logs. One thing though: I see you have the K profile enforced in DCS. If you've been using what was advertised by a user a few days ago, try to use default DCS NVIDIA profile instead.

Maybe there is setting wrong with my bios ? 
I have a gigabyte z790 Aorus elite AX board v1.1 and an intel i9 13900k. 
Are there any specific settings in bios I have to select ? 
I have the intel preset profile running and activated xmp 1 for my ram. 
onboard graphic is switched off. 
 

any suggestion?

For me is also 1 core maxed out.

Please @Special K , @Flappie could you please take a look in my Logs ?

-I have a clean Win11 Pro install

- Cores are unparked

Sorry, just saw it today.

You have a ton of memory related issues logged in your DXDiag. And I can not find that BIOS anymore which is usually a bad sign (vendors pull bad BIOS versions).

So - try the following:
- Update your BIOS to the latest available version. Check your chipset drivers also.
- Disable XMP
- Try again

Thank you @Special K for your  answer.

- I updated now my graphiccard to a rtx5090

- updated my bios to version: FK

- Disabled the XMP Profile for my RAM

with my board driver im not 100% shure... 

i have a gigabyte aorus Elite AX Bord  revision 1.1

But on the Gigabyte Downloadpage i cannot find revision 1.1 . Just 1.0 and 1.X . So u used the driver for 1.X. Is this correct ? Can u confirm this or maybe im a bit stupid ... 

 

My 1st Core is still maxed out ... 

Here is the new DXDiag file .

Thank you very much for your time and help

Yes, that would be 1.x
Your PC crashes a lot in the Gigabyte Control Center with a file not found error. Can you reinstall this software also please?
And if you do not necessarily need it - can you just uninstall it?

From the DCS log, all I can see which I would disable is civil traffic, the rest looks pretty much ok.
The core that you report as maxed out - does that happen in the main menu only or also during flying?

I tried to deinstall the Gigabyte Center , but the the Gigabyte Downloadservice and the Gigabyte Updateservice are not possible to delete.

Here is the DxDiag.log and 3 screenshots how it looks in the Taskmanager.

-First Screenshot is Idle 

-second Screenshot is DCS in Menu VR

-third screenshot is DCS flyingin VR

It seems that we are back to the ST version.

May I suggest that can we setup the processor affinity to all P-cores only through Task Manager manually for testing? Based on the last graph, E-cores had lots of activities...

Check your BIOS settings. IIRC Gigabyte's BIOS has a setting for 'automatic download/update of software'. It's a BIOS setting that literally takes over your windows and does downloads and installations of their software onto your OS automatically without you knowing about it, and I believe it's set by default to ON (and resets after every BIOS update). Definitely worth disabling this before trying to uninstall the software, or you may find it just installs back over the top again.  Then you may be able to uninstall the software via windows safe mode.

@Dangerzone thank you for the advice , i have done it . Gigabyte Downloadservice and the Gigabyte Updateservice are not more shown in the tasklist.

But the GbtCloudMatrix is still shown in the DxDiag

@scommander2 i tried this. Here are  screenshots from taskmanager 

1- is Core 0-7 active

2-is Core 0-15 active

The 2nd graph seems nice to me since 13900k P-cores is from 0-15 (with hyper-threading).  How is the performance for this configuration then?

Performance with all different settings good 🤔 72 fps most of the time (sometimes over Berlin Germanymap it goes down to 36) 

but temps are over 70 degrees….

but I can’t understand that iam the only one where core 0 and 1 are maxed out 🤔

don’t know what I can do now.

Hope that we can be enlighten by @Special K, @Flappie or ED developers.  In general, if a process that is the long-time life cycle or bounded by the CPU id in the code then that CPU id is very busy than others, and OS may not swap the process id out to another CPU id less frequently for the scheduling purpose. I am not sure that how DCS is coded.

Yes, we are kind pushing all DCS tasks over all P-cores and they are running the high frequency rate, and that is cons.

Can you disable the Nvidia overlay please and see if that changes anything? We had some users where the Nvidia overlay caused exactly that.
