DCS World Updates thread

[komemiute]

I try to launch the updater but it keeps on loading the older version rather than starting the update.

 

I'll try again from time to time...

[Corvus]

This update is believed to fix the server list issue.

 

Nice- no crash so far.

[Slap_Chop]

I don't even want to say this........

 

 

This patch cut my FPS in half from 35 FPS in cockpit to 16 FPS from V 6099 - V6120

 

 

I have updated with both today and flown with each Version today.

 

 

Same settings on both . Deleted User\Saved Games\DCS folder after each patch (Had my input files saved)

 

Seems to be Machine specific. Is increasing some peoples FPS and at the same decreasing others.

Are people who are experiencing gains with this patch NVidia Owners and peoples losing FPS ATI owners ?

Performance has decreased maybe 20% for me on average. I've got an ATI card

I've been wondering about this too. Maybe we should have two threads, one where users whose computers like the patch, and one for users whose computer suffer.

 

Maybe a pattern(s) will emerge.

AMD 6850 1gb and it's running perfectly fine for me.

[robert123456]

Mine does work better in game and performs well at least on the training missions, the loading times are still as long as 1.2.0 which is long.

 

Im an nvidia user just to let you know.

[sobek]

7870 and no issues whatsoever.

Bloody Strange.

I'm an NVidia user (GTX 460), and I had a major performance decrease with these new patches.

 

HOWEVER: I had overlooked that TSAA was turned on in the options. Turning that off brought me back to my normal good performance.

 

Might want to check on that, just in case. That little checkbox is sneaky and easy to miss if you're just passing over the settings quickly. ;)

Is there a major difference in visual quality by turning TSAA off? Just curious.

[MIKE_DAN]

6120 is definitely a no go for me. I can`t even get to fly, the game either freezes or i get a BSOD while loading missions.

If I look really closely at a fence, for instance, yes. There is a small difference. But I really don't notice it at all.

 

The fps more than makes up for it, IMO.

BSOD = 100% hardware or driver problems.

[Quax456]

Just in my case it incresed very slighly the fps ~5.

 

All Settings on High!

Sounds like there is a RAM-module defective, or one of your hardware drivers..:(

[MIKE_DAN]

BSOD = 100% hardware or driver problems.

 

I never had any problems with whatever versions of DCS. This is the first time that this happened. I can`t imagine hardware and drivers are OK before the last update, and after the update something is wrong with them.

nVidia gtx 580 here, frame rates have always been great for me, this latest patch just seemed to smooth everything out, shorter loading times as well.

[pepin1234]

AMD 6790 and DCS World always have worked perfect with FPS. I can confirm that the delay loading the missions is now faster

[Mustang]

Using SSAA, or Adaptive AA (or Super Sampling AA) on AMD cards is a big nono, it will ruin FPS.

Especially with grass in view.

Rebooted the Computer. Frames rates back to normal. I do get a small slide show for a couple of secs

at the mission start then it's all good. Certainly good enough for me at this stage.

 

 

I'm Using P-51 Instant Action Flight over Poti for benchmark.

 

I did have TSSAA off but thanks for the suggestion.

 

I do drop 15 FPS anytime I fire the 50 cals. That's been since 1.2.1 all versions.

 

This is the crap that makes programmers go insane. Anyway thanks ED for your efforts here.

I realize you're not making a dime off of these patches. Also thanks to all you fellas trying to help each

other here and Mods.

 

 

On a positive note the P-51 is just a joy to fly now. Take offs and landings so much fun.

 

The engine management stuff is just awsome. I've already seized my engine from running it too

hard and burned out the starter once already LOL. Great job guys.

 

With this new patch system things will only get better

Where can I adjust those settings? That's in windows right, not DCS options?

 

 

^^^I know that's a pretty dumb question... never messed with it though

Looking at those sys specs,

if you dont have pretty much everything on low.... then thats your problem.

 

 

I never had any problems with whatever versions of DCS. This is the first time that this happened. I can`t imagine hardware and drivers are OK before the last update, and after the update something is wrong with them.

 

or the problem was always there, but previous versions either didnt use that part of a driver, or GPU function, or load the ram as much.
