constantly 1-3 second freezes

[Eisprinzessin]

Had this from time to time.

I start a mission (self made only) and play it alone or with a friend without any issues (Track IR, 1 screen, powerfull intel firing a 3090 ti - 120 GB RAM ... so its not the pc).

So wie flew the mission 

without any (ANY) problems. Not a single stutter or anything else. 

 

Turned off the pc, went to bed, work, came home, feeded the child, started the pc, connected with a friend, flew the mission.

 

Not possible. Freezed like every 2-3 minutes (like he is buffering something like crazy). Screen stands still, but sound goes on, if midair even my motion rig tells me that the plane is goind in the wrong direction, on the second try i even crashed into a house and blew up, while my monitor was relaxing....).

 

Nothing changed, nothing done...and i would bet money, that today everything is fine again untill next time....

 

Any ideas?

Attach your current DCS log file in case something shows up. Attach another log after replicating the issue as the logs get overwritten each time.

These are the log files from yesterday evening.

And the track from today....ran butter smooth, not a single freeze or stutter.

Can you please attach the actual log files from the bad run. The link you posted isn't even https and doesn't appear to be valid. For the ones from today we're after a log file and not a track file.

[Eisprinzessin]

Oh sorry. Just dropped it on my private server 

im Not in this. Where do I find the log file you need?

by default is it in users/yourname/saved games/DCS.openbeta/logs. it is a DCS.log file it will just say DCS if you have file names hidden..

Okay, thanks. I got it. But since i chenged the Cockpit to medium i had no more issues. Have to check how it works with anctivated WinWing MFD (which i turned on right now). But i guess (hope) it was the textures issue.

[Eisprinzessin]

so switched to the MIG-21 today (same mission, nothing changed) and hat the problem again. more than ever.

- You have parked cores.  Try unparking them first to see if the situation improves.

- SRS is throwing exceptions. There is a updated version available.

- HFSExport.lua is throwing exceptions.

- You have many mods, both in your 'saved games' and overwriting the DCS install.

You need to remove your mods, run a DCS repair. Then try again. If it works better then slowly start adding back your mods

If you have GPU scheduling turned on, Turn it off... It was causing me the same issues & once I turned it off it's been fine.

Also, you are running from the bin-mt folder. Rather launch from the \bin folder.

Thanks but this i dont understand! What are parked cores?

Energy saving mechanism on E-Cores on modern CPUs that some applications are somehow unable to "unlock" inducing processing latency, from what I understood so far.

Here is a tutorial to make disable it in Windows and to forget about it after:

The i9-12900K uses Efficiency Cores (E-Cores). Many DCS players have had issues with this. I would also take a look at the YT video linked below. This helped resolve some problems with the CH-47F in VR for me. Essentially, it's about disabling the E-cores when using DCS only. The E-cores are still available for other apps running in the background.

Do me a favour and try something very simple (quick fix and easily reversible if it doesn’t help)

Go in the start menu and type services (assuming you run an english installation). Run the app

Find the „Power“ service and disable it. Reboot and try if it is better in DCS.

I would highly recommend to leave it disabled, but if you don’t feel like it, you can reverse it by enabling it in the same way.

Okay, have to check how it is called in german

 

But after disabling SRS and switching from bin to non-bin i had no issue today.

Auf Deutsch heißt es “Dienste” und “Stromversorgung”….. 

Selbst wenn es für Dein konkretes Problem nichts bringt, ist auf jeden Fall eine gute Optimierungsmaßnahme. Natürlich entfallen damit alle Energiesparmaßnahmen….falls das wichtig für Dich wäre.

Scheiß aufs Energiesparen beim zocken

Oh, and that realtime AntiVirus scans can cause hickups is common knowledge I assume.

It doesn't actually disable them, quite the opposite. DCS determines which cores are what and puts them in specific pools. E-cores it uses for I/O stuff. The issue with parked cores is that Windows will put cores to sleep until workload is put on them and then wakes them up, does the stuff, and then can park them again afterwards when the load drops off. The problem with this is that it constantly parks and unparks (sleep/wakeup) as load comes on and off so you get stutters while that is happening.  Unparking them means they're running at full power and don't go to sleep.

To clarify, the video that was linked about the use of Process Lasso, is about disabling the E-cores per application. Not about anything that DCS is doing on its own. Not saying that disabling the E-cores is the ultimate solution, or the only solution. In my case, the cores weren't parked. But the fps dropped to 3-5 in certain modules in VR. Using the recommendations from the video, disabling the E-cores only for DCS brought the rate up to 45fps. The issue was specific to VR. Without VR, the fps is 100+ even with the E-cores enabled.

Humble apologies, I misread that as referring to the video on core parking, vs. your Process Lasso one I see as a link now. Needed more coffee.
