DCS world disables aero desktop.

[TonyStovepipe]

Hi all.

 

I am not sure why it keep on turning off aero when I start the game as the option is unchecked?

 

Not sure if using Helios control center and my custom resolution lua file for 2 monitor setup can affect it ?

 

Thanks for any help.

System Specs?

[TonyStovepipe]

Windows 7 64bit ultimate

4GB ram

5870 1gb

AMd 955 @3.6oc

Monitor 1 = 1920x1080

Monitor 2 = 1440x1050

 

I think the game always stopped aero from working but I can't be 100% of that.

 

Thanks.

Memory,

 

Your System RAM and VRAM are Low enough that Windows7 Kernel is forced to disable Aero to Free Up resources.

 

4GB of Ram on Win7 Ult is cutting close, unless you know how to specifically disable all the memory and cpu cycle munching processes that are included and enabled in the Ult. of Windows 7.

While in game the vram usage is 800-900mb tested with MSI afterburner (texture setting medium and HDR off.

 

total system memory usage while in game is just over 3gb so still have lots spare.

 

I have always kept check on the processes I have and need running so my normal system memory usage after start up is 900 to 1GB.

 

I will test with making the ingame setting the lowest they can go and see what happens maybe it a bug with the game?

 

Thank you.

 

---------------Update-----------------------

I fixed now :D

 

It was SoftTH shutting down aero because the I did not see the keep aero on tab.

 

Thanks all for trying to help me.

Aero Uses Between 20-60MB of System Ram and Upto 128MB of VRAM. Average,

 

I've Personally seen DWM.exe take up more than 200MB of VRAM at times.

 

Running Two Screens prolly makes it use more.

Different motherboards/ configurations claim different size chunks of Ram, also, as System Reserved.

 

Check in Resource Monitor under the Memory tab to see what is going on where.
