Hawkeye Pierce Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I can fly the F-4 or any other aircraft perfectly fine in singleplayer and multiplayer on my own. But as soon as my buddy joins my crew, I cannot open the Jester UI or the grease pencil. Opening them causes immense lags - like a frame every 10 seconds or more - and eventually my game crashes. I'm also experiencing some occasional mild lags while flying which I'm certain are also depending on another player being WSO or not. Is this a hardware problem on my end or....? My specs: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G RTX 4060 Ti 48 GB RAM For some reason I only have one log file which is of my last flight in singleplayer - after today's multiplayer flights. In that log it says "Out of memory in ed_malloc for 436694070960 bytes." which is an error I've been having for some time now but it hasn't caused any issues after fixing my pagefile. Is that the thing causing issues now as well?
Zabuzard Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Does it get better if you, just for testing, heavily tune down your DCS settings?Like, set it to low quality, low visibility and similar.May I ask, what is your ping towards your flight partner roughly?When it happens and you open your task manager, is there anything that looks like being a bottleneck? For example your RAM or CPU being at 100%? Perhaps you have been playing so close to the max that the overhead of multicrew went beyond the limit and now you are running into a bottleneck.

Sitting on the ground with my friend as WSO, my CPU and RAM were both in total at around 60% and my GPU at 30%. DCS was using 40-50% of my CPU and 3 GB of my RAM. Today it was more playable and I could actually use the Jester UI with some lag. Tuning down my graphics settings to low didn't change anything noticable. My ping to him is roughly 60 ms 1

Which was then fixed for all testers.Mh, odd stuff.

Well, I've also had some slight lags during flight without using the UI or doing anything which seem to also be dependant on multicrew. But apart from that, it's just the HB UI 2
Hawkeye Pierce Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM Author Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM @Zabuzard We've tested again today and now my FPS are horrible the entire time - not just when I'm using the UI or some occasional mild lags. We've also tested multithreading with the same result. Any updates or ideas?

We've also tested multithreading with the same result. Any updates or ideas? I have exactly same issues, whenever buddy sits into WSO pit, FPS just drops by like half. Its horrible. If we both turned on all performance settings in special options, it got a little bit better but i still lost tons of FPS compared to flying solo. Tried with 2 people, one is US based and other from italy, i live in central europe so ping to second one is nonissue. Both cases, FPS losses to the point its not playable. Heavy server like contention cold war, full, i run 65-80 FPS with maxed out game while alone in plane. The second player WSO loads in, its between 20-30fps with heavy dips below 20 looking backwards occasionally. The italian guy ran into same issue too with different CPU and GPU than me. Hes got better cpu so he runs better FPS overall yet it still drops him way below his normal FPS if i join WSO. My specs are ryzen 5 5600X 5070 12gig 64gig of ram and obv installed on SSD GPU and CPU are nowhere near being maxed out. Edited 1 hour ago by MysteriousHonza
