Freezes for multiple seconds at a time

dcs.log

 

 

 

I'm experiencing some fairly hard freezes while playing DCS, rendering it unusable. Attaching a video, and DCS log (but not from the same run).

It is not limited to the Hornet module, it seems. It is only DCS that freezes, while DCS is frozen, sound is happening, and I'm also able to alt-tab to another application.

 

I did try removing all the plugins mentioned in .../Saved Gamex/DCS/Export.lua, no difference.

If needed, I can share an ETL file (captured with gpuview/xperf), but it is a bit too big to go here.

 

Other ideas welcome.

 

Unfortunately, I don't really know when this started (haven't played for a while)

have you excluded the dcs folder from antivirus action? Its periodic scanning may be interfering with dcs

It is indeed excluded.

In fact, during the freeze period, DCS CPU usage goes way down
