ENO Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Just a quick report- Running with an I5 laptop... 8gigs of RAM and a 660M graphics card- everything on low... latest drivers yadda yadda. When I can see snow (dynamic weather) the screen will completely lock up- until I hit escape. When I hit escape, it resumes... until the next time (seconds). Just thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone else is getting similar performance issues? "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

Supersheep Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I just had snow and no issue. Is it limited to dynamic weather? Mine was static... Edit: On an AMD Graphics desktop... The PVC Pipe Joystick Stand How to thread
ENO Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 I'll have to double check my graphics driver... seems fishy to me that the only key that works is the escape key- and it doesn't lock up on the same mission when viewing aircraft or vehicles that are out of the weather.

Echo38 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Dynamic weather, IIRC, is also responsible for the exploding-on-tarmac P-51 bug. I'd say don't use dynamic weather at present--it seems to be an unfinished feature.
ENO Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 I can't test that theory on my main rig for another week unfortunately... "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
AtaliaA1 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Sounds like a bottle neck (possibly) the hesitation is due to memory being moved between GPU,CPU and sometimes when needed HDD. How much GPU mem. is on that GPU? This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig. Until I got the tinker bug again i7 920 @3.6Mhz 12Gig Corsair XMS3 ram 1600 Nvidia 760 SLi w/4Gig DDR5 Ram Intel 310 SSD HDD 160 Gb + Western Digital 4Terabyte HDD Creative SB X-Fi HD Audio Logitech X-530 5.1 Surround Speaker System Dual Acer 32"Monitors.

ENO Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 2 gigs but I'm looking at the memory bandwidth (128) specs as well as stock gpu speed and it is on the lower end. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
ENO Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 I think I figured out what it was- we can shut this down. Basically, there was a script error "playing" in the background... I suspect the enter key may have worked to clear it too. I stumbled into it on another computer while testing the mission.

ShuRugal Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 DCS on a laptop? ;) i've never run DCS on anything else. Bit more expensive than a comparably performing desktop for sure, but the portability is worth it.
