1.2.7 open beta poor performance

[SkateZilla]

Yea, this is the best solution without any additional software.

 

I wonder if I can plug in an old mouse that has a broken laser, and tape the mouse button down and continue to use my main mouse.

[MegOhm_SD]

Very interested to know exactly what driver your using and what settings. As it may be a "sweet spot" thing

 

Sith, I will do a track tonight, I have to leave for work in about 3 minutes so cant do it now :p

Hi Pman.

 

I am running 13.4 drivers ( I know, just lazy but maybe lucky)

attached my settings in the thumbnails...

also have my mirrors on.

Use VSync because I don't like TIR tearing at cockpit frame

not running any Mods in 1.2.7.

Running my card at 1000MHz on the GPU Clock and 1400MHz on the Memory clock

I run my i7980X at 3.8GHz

 

I just did the mouse checkbox thing but see no difference there.

 

Hope you find something to make it better

Have the same issue with microstutters, holding right mouse button does stop the problem. I have no idea what is causing this bug, but I will hold off on playing 1.2.7 until its fixed....

Same problem, hold down left mouse button and nice and smooth. Went ahead and did that left mouse button trick and makes game playable. Side note anybody else notice how much better the a10c sounds or am I going crazy....

This is such an odd bug, does anyone have any idea's on what could be causing it? I hope the problem doesn't run too deep. :noexpression:

Might be running deeper then you thought. I say that because I thought there would of been a hotfix if it was something simple. Anyways, I'm using the method expert said about, it works and it will do for now.

just to clarify, Micro-Stutters are a XFire/SLi Dropped Frame/AFR Side Effect. where you get high FPS but they are rendered in a Order that makes motion appear smooth at one point and jittery at others while maintaining the same general FPS, without getting into technical geek speak, labeling the issue as Micro-Stutter is incorrect.

 

What your Seeing is actual Stutter, due to FPS dropping to a point where you can see the interval between individual frames.

 

I plan to run some frame tests to see what the latency and runt frame counts look like when holding mouse button down and not.

 

as for the cause, i have no idea, could be 100s upon 100s of things

 

Here's a Dumb question, Has Anyone tried just straight UNPLUGGING your mouse?

 

I'd like to know if that has any effect,

ie, if unplugging your mouse fixes the STUTTER, then the issue maybe something to do with Windows Hardware Mouse Cursor or Mouse Driver.

Found this workaround useful for the FPS spikes till it gets fixed, turn clicklock on and then once in-sim just hold left button for a few moments and you're good to go

 

 

Great find mustang ! Works like a charm. Waiting till ed comes up with a solution. Wondering how a simple mouseclick can have such a monsterous effect......

My ASSumption is that maybe a dev was troubleshooting FPS issues and set the mouse thing up for test and forgot to turn it off.

or MS Windows hardware mouse driver conflict

or mouse click detection leak

 

i can go on and on..

[Mainstay]

Or hardware microsoft mouse click conflict client lazy finger virus?

[BitMaster]

The Stutter problem on my machine remains with or without mouse button clicked. As I cannot detach my mouse/mice I wont be able to test if it would disappear if no mouse was connected at all. Due to the built-in TrackPad and the non willing Apple Bios not letting me turn it off I will at least have the TrackPad active.

 

The stutter is at about 3-4 Hz rate at my system, if you need a DX Diag I am happy to help you, just leave a note.

 

IMHO this should be adressed asap as many potential testers get their eyes hurt playing this way, this is for sure beyond what my eyes can take. 5-10 min and I get a headache. Please address this quick so we can play the beta even deeper to find the not so obvious bugs.

Here's a Dumb question, Has Anyone tried just straight UNPLUGGING your mouse?

 

I have just unplugged my mouse and ran a test - the performance loss is still there.

[Ranger79]

The mouse issue is known and reported.

 

Is there any hot fixes for 1.2.7? Some of these bugs make it completely unplayable?

No, updates will be pushed through the auto updater.

We all know ATI has issues with DCS its a long standing issue

 

Now that is an interesting perspective:

 

 

It's not DCS having a problem with ATi, but ATi having an issue with DCS. :megalol:
