miguelaco Posted Thursday at 12:56 AM Posted Thursday at 12:56 AM I'm aware of that change, but we're talking here (at least I am) of loading times from desktop to main menu. In my case, once in the menu the sim runs smooth with no excessive loading times, before and after the patch.

I updated my bios today to the latest version along with Intel ME. Now I have this issue with long loading time. I turned off Hyperthreading in bios and it loaded much quicker. In addition, with HT on exiting from game to desktop takes significantly longer than before. I will live with it for now. Hopefully the fix mentioned will solve it. I plan on reinstalling win11 anyway when MiG29 is released. If the problem still exists, I will consider reverting to the previous bios version. I ignored the golden rule "If it isn't broke don't fix it" I rolled back the BIOS to an August 2024 version, and DCS load times have improved a lot, pretty much on par with the benchmarks I got when disabling HT. I have an Asus ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi II. The BIOS version is 1503 dated 2024/08/08. Edited 1 hour ago by miguelaco 2

So, I guess I'm stuck with the latest bios. I'll try reinstalling WIn11 and pray that fixes it otherwise I can leave HT off for now. Someone mentioned the latest major Windows 11 update contributed to their long loading time (which could also apply to me as I did all these things around the same time) so yeah hoping a fresh install fixes it. Thanks for your report on how rolling back the Bios fixed your system.

SAM77 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Fresh windows install didn't fix long loading time issue. Switching off HT in bios fixed it. Oh well.

miguelaco Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago That fixed it for me too but I don't want to leave HT disabled just for DCS. Specially when once in the sim, I noticed a small hit on fps stability with HT off. Did you try downgrading the BIOS? I didn't do anything special with my ASUS board, just followed the usual procedure to bump up the version but applied a previous one instead. Cheers
