Hi Micha, I think I have finally conquered a new FS issue that has plagued me since the last update. Someone reminded me to set exclusions in Microsoft Defender for MSFS.exe, I had done this already and I always disable MS Defender before flying however, I took it a bit further and set exclusions for Process Lasso, TrackIR and anything else that I run with the simulator.
I still had stuttering.
So what I did next was influenced by sound drop-outs and popping with simultaneous simulator stuttering. I have an on-board sound-card and discovered that this had somehow become enabled once again, (I did disable it previously some time agao). Disabling the sound card on the motherboard appeared to do the trick. I also UPDATED my SOUND drivers.
I think itās a good idea for people to make sure that their sound card drivers are up-to-date, they often
get forgotten.
I also disabled Nagle Algorithm in the registry. I had been constantly having the rotating ābusyā circle in the bottom right of my monitor screen while flying. Do you think there is any value in disabling Nagle Algorithm? I think the busy indicator is probably due to heavy server use. I wonder if other people are noticing this while flying?
I decided to increase my LOD slider to 200 within the simulator, I think this has helped to reduce the rotating ābusyā circle and perhaps help reduce some stutters, presumably because the simulator does not have to load the scenery so often, perhaps?
I thought the MS-Defender-Bug is already fixed. Not ? This might be important for some users.
In generaly, and already in other threads done, I recommend allways to put this big applications folder at the exceptions for runtime-checking.
About sound issuesā¦ yesā¦ there are also aready threads related to sound-issue and I remember for another user in forum which uses only a external usb-dac and where I also recommened to disable in this case the onboard sound-card in BIOS. But of courseā¦ if you use the onboard sound, the drivers must be up2date. There are lots of issues with sound-drivers and windows.
( and I not use the nvidias sound driversā¦ I not include it while installation ) ( edit: exlude->include )
I tried the recent hotfix driver and still get a few black screens and then a CTD. This happens as soon as the game comes up and I am creating a flight! The last driver that works for me is 451.67!!!
For you Nvidia driver tweakerās, and overclockersās a new beta version of MSI Afterburner has been released.
Just FYI, Afterburner has a tool to automatically overclock your GPU safely. The tool runs tests while automatically overclocking and then chooses the best and safest overclock for your card.
For 20 series GPU cards, you could try this. This might not be a necessary tool for you.
So at this point what is the general consensus on the driver that is preforming the best with the RTX 3090? Seems like many feel the 460.XX drivers are causing issues.
I wouldnāt claim there is any consensus, but it seems whatever the headset and the OpenXR driver, 457.30 is running the best in VR (and in 2D also for me).
[GeForce GTX 1080 Ti]: The desktop screen may flicker. [3200599]
[GeForce GTX 1080 Ti]: The system may freeze with the screen displaying as solid color. [3203038]
[HDR]: With HDR enabled, black levels are incorrect, notably on LG OLED TVs. [200682795/ 3201305]
[Notebook][Lenovo Y740]: The notebook displays corruption after waking from sleep. [3178279]
Blue-screen crash (0x116) may occur upon resuming from sleep mode when three 4k monitors are connected. [3054239/3195884]
Known Issues
[X4: Foundations][Vulkan]: The game may crash on GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs. [3220107]
[X4: Foundations][Vulkan]: HUD in the game is broken. [3169099]
[Batman Arkham Knight]: The game crashes when turbulence smoke is enabled. [3202250]
[Detroit: Become Human]: The game randomly crashes. [3203114]
[Steam VR game]: Stuttering and lagging occur upon launching a game. [3152190]
[G-SYNC][NVIDIA Ampere/Turing GPU architecture]: GPU power consumption may increase in idle mode on systems using certain higher-refresh-rate G-SYNC monitors. [200667566]
[You-Tube]: Video playback stutters while scrolling down the YouTube page. [3129705]
[Notebook]: Some Pascal-based notebooks w/ high refresh rate displays may randomly drop to 60Hz during gameplay. [3009452]
[G-Sync][Vulkan Apps]: Performance drop occurs when using G-SYNC and switching from full-screen mode to windowed mode using the in-game settings. [200681477]
To workaround, either launch the game in windowed mode directly or disable G-SYNC.
[GeForce RTX 3070][Clone Mode]: When the resolution is set to 2560Ć1440 @ 144Hz, the performance state is stuck at maximum performance. [200678414]
[NVIDIA Turing or later][Windows Movies and TV Player]: When playing a 4k video in fullscreen mode on a 2560Ć1440 HDR monitor, the video extends beyond the edge of the screen. [3186830
So far much better/smoother performance for me on the new 461.09 drivers for the most part seem to be getting consistent 30 FPS and above when in heavy traffic areas (KLAX)
You might want to read the security bulletin and review this assertion. It doesnāt read like this to me, but I might be wrong too: some versions are unsafe this is true, but the 457.30 which was discussed shall have the security fixes.
You might want to visit the VR forum from time to time, some are reacting to the fact some others are finding the simulator āfluidā at 30fpsā¦
Iām just ironing out sometimes in VR, there are legions of people crucifying you if you pretend anything is fluid at 30fps. I let you imagine at 11 !
