(NDU registry change) Increase performance immediately! AMAZING!

Same with me and I have a 2060 too. I dont think that’s problem with our hardware. Every game runs super well then people come to say it’s hardware?? Enough of that, the problem is in the simulator that needs to make a thousand adjustments to get it to work

This really has nothing to do with Xbox but your post does reflect the conspiratorial stubbornness of many users, unwilling to configure MSFS for smooth performance in spite of knowing exactly what needs to be done.

And it requires some mental gymnastics like pretending an Ultra TLOD of 200 is just terrible on the eyes and only 400 will do for simulated flight.

It is easier on the ego to blame Asobo than one’s own CPU. Even though the solution is already in the settings.

Your PC isn’t fast enough to run at max settings without the occasional stutter. You aren’t alone. Nobody else can do this either. But we can configure our settings for smooth performance and gladly receive our monthly payment from Asobo. :smirk:

That said, this thread is about another issue entirely. A memory leak that leads to performance degradation over time. Unlike what happens when running the sim with the settings too high, this performance degradation is an issue that folks cannot easily fix on their own by changing their in game settings.

I tried this last night after looking around for forum posts describing low frame rate, stutters, and audio crackling.

I made the registry change and reproduced my test flights. Live traffic, players, weather and then turning them off.

Having everything turned off didn’t seem to be that much better. So after trying the NDU value from 2-4, it seemed smoother yes (with live turned on). But the audio crackling, stutter, and frame drops still exist.

9900k/3080 Ti - I even reverted my settings back to High, played with resolution scale, and made some hard tweaks in Nvidia Control Panel. I read somewhere a person reported their problem being gone after removing Nvidia Geforce Experience, so I did that as well.

So even after all that, I still experience pretty rough performance. I’m going to go ahead and say it’s the way the game is coded. It’s just not optimized. I say that because I’m obviously not the only one with beefy hardware having issues, and other games run fine.

edit: Check out the audio crackling from this video I shot:

Hi,

well I mentioned DX12Beta , because some users expect a better performance with these setting and NDU I mentioned just because it is the topic from the OP :slight_smile:

A comparable test would be ( therefore I mentioned it ):
stay with the (cold) airplane at ground and best at exact same parking position I mentioned.

I add example picture:

That we get higher/different fps in 2500ft we already know. A bit strang is the fps you get in FLHN in 2500ft :thinking:

The registry hack completely solved my “Lost Connection going off line” error!
Also the CPU Core 11 100% lockup has been solved as well.
All is good now

This topic is too big to follow.
Do you recommend that I do what was initially described?
I’m a conventional user, I have a modest hardware, 2060 super, 32gb RAM, I’m the type that is happy with my average of 35/45fps…

Well, the try is for free :slight_smile: … ( try it only if you familiar with Registry Editor )

Some users reports it helped to make some thing smooth or fix connection errors, others reported it change nothing.

I mentioned what the very old thing with this NDU was and if you not see any kind of strange non-paged-pool usage, it might change nothing… but who knows , our OS is “windows” :laughing:

Also, this old issue was a memory leak. So the change in registry should not have a “immediately” effect, because the “leak” takes time to fill the memory.

Grateful! I will try without compromise with successes.

Hello Everyone. I’m testing SU9 now, and the issues with stutters and memory leaks seem to be much less apparent with this build. Bad weather, PG cities, etc. cut performance a bit, but not nearly as much as they did prior to this. I’ll keep an eye on it, but so far so good…

I do also recommend turning off Windows defender by installing another virus scanner software. Suddenly my gameplay started to feel like I was on a 1989 computer. Stutter and unresponsive game. When i installed Avast essential free. This turns Windows defender off. Suddenly much smoother gameplay. :+1:

I thought the NDU hack fixed all your issues already ? :slight_smile:

Never said that, however with a 3090 and what’s inside of my PC case, I was pretty well off before the ‘hack.’

No need to mess with the registry: Increase performances immediatly! AMAZING! Tested and aprouved! - #187 by AmiableGalaxy9

I don’t have such in-depth technical knowledge to understand what I did, but I followed the recommendation.

It’s amazing how fluidity has improved! I hope it stays that way forever.

Thank you very much!

Just a layman’s question. When I adjust my LOD. Does it have an immediate impact or do I need to reset the SIM to take effect?

that is immediate. so try it out.

I went through many threads including this one. nothing works lol

Judging from the amount of topics and posts about bad performance I’ve seen ever since the sim’s release, I’d say it’s a pretty common issue.
