Got my super to work right for the first time ever

[Gun Jam]

Since I had the super its pretty much just crashed straight away anytime I try to use it.

I found that if I leave DFR off and just dial back the resolution it would sometimes be stable enough to get me though a few missions but its just a heavy G2 at that point I would usually get 60 to 70 fps. The last two times I tried to fly like this it crashed after 10 min and then a 2nd time after 25 min. The next day I turned on DFR globally I figured if it was going to crash it might as well look good. I got 70ish fps out of it using the "quality" preset and at least the center of the image was clear... It crashed 10 min later.

Today I saw a patch had been released that mentioned something about vr fix or whatever... I figured I would try it for fun to see what It would do. It didn't seem relevant but whatever.  

I made no changes and was flying online like the last few times on a pretty busy server and was expecting not much to go my way. The first thing I noticed what fps was locked at 90 sitting on the carrier deck on TTI with 4 other jets starting up. Everything was smooth and all the constant spikes I would see on the frame time graph were gone. It was a smooth flat line with maybe a tiny spike once and a while like no more than 1 every 5 to 10 sec. I have not observed this before that I can recall.

Took off and flew around for 30 min then landed pretty much locked to 90fps the entire time I might have seen an 80 for a second or two. 

This is the first time its ever worked this well or worked as expected based on feedback from other users.

I have no Idea if its dumb luck and will never happen again or if the patch had something to do with it.

I did open a support ticket before this flight haven't heard back from them yet.

Im pretty excited that I finally got to experience what I was hoping was possible. Yeah it's as awesome as they say it is. Maybe just maybe it will work again... who knows.

Hi,

Glad to hear you finally had some fun with it!

If the issue happens again, please ping me and share the ticket number. I’ll review it with the support team and make sure they provide further assistance.

@Gun Jam Good to know you can finally enjoy it. Well deserved after the nightmare you (and me, and others) went through with the Somnium. In my case, I'm eagerly awaiting for my Super to show up, but I switched to the Ultrawide module - and after some initial reports of terrible distortions and noticeably bad impact on overlap I'm not confident about the change anymore, but I think can count on support. Happy flying!

Hey Calvin. I tried again tonight and it ran excellent just like last night but this time it did crash. I was hoping there would be a correlation between good performance vs not as good performance as an indicator if it would crash or not. Seems like not. It did run about 30 min this time before it crapped the bed. Not sure why all of a sudden its running better but I'll take it, but it still seems likley to crash. 

So I guess I still need supports help. The ticket number is #111697

Noted.

The crash is headset being disconnected or the game freezes up?

[Gun Jam]

DCS appears to freeze. I dont believe the HMD is disconnecting

Thanks!
