Stuttering every 1-2 seconds: A-10CII Outpost campaign

[Boss32]

Hello,

I'm experiencing regular stuttering every 1-2 seconds, both in the air and on the ground. I suspect it might be due to a demanding CPU campaign scenario, but I'm uncertain. My GPU utilization fluctuates, dropping below 50% regularly too, which cases FPS drops, although the pattern isn't as consistent as the stuttering.

I am playing on triple screen, and 2x Winwing DDI as cockpit screens, also I am using PS3 eye camera as face tracking via OpenTrack.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3D

RTX 4090

64GB RAM

game is on the SSD disk

Win11

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards
Ivan

hello,

i do see that you have some mods. i am not sure if that would cause stuttering. but one never knows. disable those and run a slow repair. also clear out your shader folders. i see a lot of action in your log.

Also temporarily disable TacView, to see if that helps (Can be done via the special options page).

TacView can cause stuttering if you have a lot of units / actions. And you have set it to record everything.

Thank you for the tip, I tried to reduce modes and also cleaned shaders folders, it helped a bit but not completely.

Thank you for the help, this was the solution, as soon as I unchecked Tacview option in the DCS stuttering completely disappeared. Thank you!
