Is there a hotfix coming for WU6 issues?

Definitely well ventilated and my internet is 200mbs a sec so it can’t be slow internet? Anyway, thanks for your help :slight_smile:

I am just so tired of the update process with this sim! Every update fixes one thing, then breaks another seemingly unrelated thing. Which I then have to wait weeks for a fix. Just to have to wait for a fix for the next thing they break!

Asobo, get your act together! We do not want hotfixes! We just want an update that doesn’t continually break ■■■■!!

I appreciate that everyone’s experience is unique, but for me (on PC) my sim has never worked better than it does now. Yes, there are a few bugs here and there but nothing that stops me from enjoying it. I’ve done many, many hours since WU6 with zero stability issues too. SU5 wasn’t too bad for me, but I did hit the odd CTD from time to time - these also seem to have been fixed for me.

The only issue I have that seems quite new is a very noticeable slowdown when the sim has been running for a few hours. I left it running unattended for 4 hours on Sunday just in the spirit of investigation, and by the time I landed, my normally stable 60+ fps had dropped to 15fps, and went even lower at landing. T&Ps on my CPU and GPU were all normal, so I’m struggling to explain this one. Fortunately I rarely do more than 2 hours at a stint, so it’s easy to avoid for now but this will change when FBW release their A380!

Are you flying with traffic? Plenty of people have issues with longer sessions with traffic. Disabling and re-enabling should get the framerate back up.
Others have said that disabling all online functionality and then re-enabling works, but the above didn’t.

I’m with you. I have the same experience. Performance and stability are great.

Three issues would really make a big difference for me:
Terrain morphing
Approach flyback bug
Missing/incorrect scenery in world update areas

Apart from that, I’m loving it right now. Best it’s been since launch.

On the fps drops, try toggling real time traffic off then back on. That fixed it for me. Guessing you’ve probably already tried that though.

Got everything switched off lol. It starts juddering and freezing soon as I leave the tarmac never had a problem before the update 6

Sim is worst it’s ever been for me, it’s been a gradual downhill ever since release with the constant graphical downgrades to facilitate unrequired performance gains and XBox.

For this hotfix, I would most like;

  1. Put the LOD draw distances back what to what they used to be, no idea why they reduced yet again on WU6.

  2. Put the clouds back to how they used to be, they are terrible now, ULTRA looks like LOW.

  3. Put the lighting back to how it used to be, everything now is washed out.

  4. Get rid of the ridiculous lightning.

Then once these are back to how the used to be, LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Not experiencing the stuff mentioned above however would be nice if the night lighting was fixed sooner rather than later.

Can you provide a side by side comparison between WU6 and previous version to substantiate the LOD degradation. IMO LOD is better than it’s ever been, i can provide a comparison between earlier versions should you wish.

I agree clouds have been somewhat degraded, but not as much as Ultra to low, probably Ultra to high, again a comparison would be welcome.

Lightning, agreed 1000%, this can be rather annoying and a fix would be most welcome.

Regarding the lighting, sure some things were changed, seemed partially fixed after the hotfixes. I understand there were shader issues. There is still some work to be done here but it’s far better now than post SU5

Hopefully this will fix the missing Jetways issue.

LOD distance - [BUG LOGGED] Tree draw distance reverted back to pre-SU5? - Logged by devs

Clouds - Clouds pixelated - #94 by p1nba11er

This Sim is horrible and at its worse point for me. I have given up tbh…wu6 has given me nothing but CTDs no matter what I do. It took me 2 days to reinstall the dam thing due to many issues with the installer which is another topic of its on and now I get CTDs everywhere…even when just sitting in the menu and even with the new BS safemode they tried to introduce as a “fix” I had almost no CTDs before SU5 and WU6…ever since SU5 its been a run away train downhill and at this point its not even worth it. Just now trying to fly from EGLL to KJFK literally made it to final and ready to land and then boom CTD like ■■■ !! 7 hours wasted

Perhaps this issue is not affecting everyone, for me personally LOD is great! I have the steam version, modded cfg and shaders (reshade) with paid tree mod, never had a single CTD, only issue was when updating to SU5, download was very slow.

I also mod PGG LOD with a few other tweaks, using older cloud assets from previous versions might also be a reason for the less noticable effects on my side.

I sincerly hope these issues are fixed, especially for those experiencing CTDs.

Would you say reshade is better then the NVidia Freestyle filters?

For sure, all depends which shaders you using in reshade, but if you would like, ill gladly share my settings, only sharpen and grain need to be deactivated in cfg for msfs2020.

that would be great thank you!

Who would like to join me in prayer for (though I doubt it) a fix for the freezing/disconnecting mouse?

Microsoft recently bought Bethesda…

I guess they are going for a “hold my beer” moment that will make MSFS2020 look like an extremely highly polished release.

speed isn’t everything :wink:

He was talking about your routing to the game servers as MSFS streams alot of the data and detail you see and if the routing of your connection was affected or you were suffering from high latency then this could affect your performance. I would recommend power cycling your network equipment aswell to see if this has any affect.

Still no date for the next SDK Q&A (or what it’s Topic will be) ??
