Description of the issue:
USING THE SAME GRAPHIC CONFIGURATION OF THE SU6 THE SU7 CAUSES SEVERE LOSS OF FPS AND STUTTERING MAKING THE SIM UNPLAYABLE
I have an old config PC but TILL SU6I I was able to play at 60-50 fps with DLAA, FSR frame gen & Medium Texture (with Cesna 172 and other MSFS aircraft also Ultra Textures) and the sim experience was simply GREAT… with Fenix and IB-A350 also. After the installation of the SU7 (I’ve used the same NVIDIA Drivers Version 616 before and then 617 that cases my computer to crash at a black screen, I’ve made a clean DDU installation and installed from scratch MSFS2024 three time) I can have 25-30 fps with stuttering and the game become unplayable. So I’m asking if is possible to back at the SU6?

I cannot reproduce this ether on 1.9.18.0 or 1.9.20.0. Having said that I did have a similar experience to what you describe when one of the early SU dropped (can’t remember which one). All the problems completely disappeared after I deleted everything in my C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 EXCEPT the Packages folder and restarted the sim. The down side to doing this is that you will have to redo all your settings - your control bindings should not be affected, mine weren’t.
I am on PC Steam, the folder path might be different if you are on MS Store.
Yea I’m having the exact same issue. 3090ti 32gb ddr4 2300 intel i9-9900k and had 70fps all day prior to the update. Now, i start off beautifully but the VRAM builds and builds and builds until the game starts stuttering and becomes unplayable. I have literally watched it go from a stable 12gb when loading and rise to 22gb of VRAM on bushback….. insane and my settings are buried down now so not graphics settings. Super frustrated today attempting to diagnose this issue but seems like a memory leak. By time pushback started game was unplayable. Honestly running out of ideas. Is there a way to roll back?
The immediate FPS drop and the steadily increasing VRAM usage might be two separate symptoms. Has anyone monitored VRAM usage over 15–20 minutes with a default aircraft and an empty Community folder? That comparison could help narrow down what’s happening after SU7.
Thanks…I will give it a try…however I’ve installed MSFS three times and cleaned the cash using a DDU reinstallation of the nvidia drivers…but nothing changed.
I’m actually frustrated because almost every time an update is released You have to begin from scratch…this time it goes worse than other. We’re simmers not Computer Technicians…a new release should solve problems not introduce new ones…however this is an old story…why make beta testing if this is the result…I’ve to beta test on my own now…maybe they only want Us to migrate to newer graphic cards and systems…this is an old logic of an old world….but it doesen’t work
Yea that’s exactly how it feels, they want everyone to buy a 5k GPU unreal. My PC is strong and I’m having the same issues so idk. Can’t even play now unreal.
I forgot to report: till the SU6 the Video Card Queue during the flight planning or the aircraft choice procedure stayson green band and fps stayed stable on 60fps.
Now I’ve it ever in red band with 40 fps during flight preparation also.
Then when entering the simulation using Cessna 172 fps drops to 25-30 with severe stuttering…non flyable at all.
It seems like something is driving the VCard to not work correctly. Maybe the dlss 4.5?
Oh my gush…thanks for the report…so the problem as mentioned is not the configuration….but during the beta testing do anyone noticed this performance break down?
completley useless almost after every new uppdate, I have a ryzen 9950x3d2 and a 5090, 64g GB ddr5 and 190GB on Paging file across 3 NVme disks and I have since a wile back to keep it locked to 20FPS otherwise the fps go up and down like crazy and after latest SU around 50min in the flight stuttering starts until it is not playeble any more. Before this upfdate I was playing this with all on ultra and a resolution of 7180x2160. Wake up Asobo! And also please make the updates not mandatory, if it works for me at the timne I do not want to brake it.

My mainthread seems to be higher than itnwas in su6 and spiking quite often, my graphics queue also seems to spike up to around 30-40ms for no reason causing lag and stutters. Vram is also somewhat sitting higher than SU6, i prefer to play with frame gen off with TAA and with su6 i had a very smooth experience now when panning or changing from cockpit to external i get vram spikes and stutters which i never had previously followed with mainthread and graphics queue graphs having a disco. Tried clearing all my caches and community folder and having no luck.
Yea fenix seemed good got all the way to pushback with great frames etc. left it running right there for 15 mins and ….. VRAM maxes and FPS drops unplayable.
Hopefully we get this resolved soon, playing the game with an empty community folder isn’t worth it. Addons make this game so much better.
