Checking to see if it is accurate to say there were NO changes at all from the Public Beta (pre-release test) to live build version 1.21.18.0 that we are on now.
I ask because I’m seeing lower FPS after exiting the Public Beta and installing the live version. Approx 8 to 10 FPS lower with similar aircraft and airport. Really strange.
Note: my graphics settings were all reset, so I set them back to where they were before the install. I still had less FPS, I tried lowering settings a bit at a time, but I still haven’t recovered the lost FPS.
Nothing else changed on my rig and performance had been very consistent. I just can’t figure out why there would be a drop in FPS if there were no changes to the sim code what so ever.
Two questions:
Has anyone else experienced this?
Could a server-side change have been made that would cause this?
I too noticed a performance degradation. Not so much in the FPS count but an immersion destroying level of stuttering while panning with trackIR5. Prior to installing the beta and during the beta my particular setup technique delivered a level of smoothness while panning that I had never seen the like of in any flight sim.
However, Now that the update is live I noticed immediately panning induces stutters. Very Irritating and disappointing.
I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet but my first though is that something about the way the GPU manages FPS when Vsync is on is the cause. It seem that the GPU is set to deliver FPS at the exact rate that the Display refresh rate is set to. I’m not sure about this and will have to do some further testing.
The issue I’m asking about is a performance decrease. The point being, if there is nothing at all changed between the beta and the live version, I would not expect to see a decrease in performance.
I’m seeing some stuttering as well (although not using TrackIR currently) and since all of my graphics settings were reset, I’m going to go back through all settings again carefully.
Thank you, and please update us with your findings!
Seems strange to me. I have seen comments from other user that things going on on the server end can effect performance. I’m flying around the would at moment from PNW over the north poll down through the Baltic’s, Russia, Turkey, Middle east, Africa. I’m just a bit north east of Victoria Falls right now after about 70 flight over the last 6 months. I don’t often get too fly one leg and the next leg the day after but I can say without a doubt today my flight was as smooth as it’s ever been compared to yesterdays flight which was a stutter fest when panning. So much so that I feared that the update was a big step backwards. What did I do to fix it? NOTHING!
