Solution for Stutters & Pauses (updated for SU5)

UPDATE!! I finally could update the sim. As of now, the CTD’s are gone.

The camera pan stutter remains, but the fix doesn’t claim to solve that, so it’s all good!

Was getting freezing for 20-60 seconds every 5 minutes or so, no matter what I was doing, even in the menus outside of flight. Today’s patch completely corrected the issue, and I’m back to flying the friendly skies! :smiley:

I come with bad news. I formatted the computer with the suspicion that it might be some configuration I would have done to the operating system.

But unfortunately it had no effect on the problem.

It’s really frustrating you because you’ve run out of possibilities to try anything else to solve the problem.

The stutters even continue doing a full system restore. Which leads me to believe that it can only be an incompatibility with some Hardware.

My Setup:

RTX2070S O8G-EVO
I7-7700K
32gb Memory Corsair
SSD 120 Kingston + HD 1Tb
Monitor Asus 144hrz

I believe we will not have the visibility we need to solve the problem, and we will have to find out for ourselves.

So let’s share information to look for similarities in this problem.

The hotfix was released.

When you get it, it may look like the installer is frozen. Leave it be for a few hours. It is working, just slow.

The hotfix is tiny, download went smoothly on my end, and I’ve yet to encounter any of the long freezes introduced for me in SU5, so it appears to have fixed my only problem!

Doing some more tests. I realized that with this process of turning the camera sideways. My CPU usage goes from 36% to 100% and only returns to normal after I stop playing with the camera.

This happens when I use the video settings at maximum or minimum, not making any difference.

Remembering that my processor is an I7 7700k

Hardware maybe catching up with you as your cpu has only 4 cores and the sim’s just had a HT upgrade. In your shoes I would do everything to cut as much as possible running in the background… I highly recommend Windows10Debloater, it’s just copy and paste into Powershell so definitely no funny business. It even works in Windows 11.

Anyone using the Process Lasso solution after SU5 will still need ot use it as the Hotfix had no impact on this issue.

anyone else unable to start a flight with online functionality enabled?

Day 1 after Hotfix is again completely screwed up. A Gaming Service update was this morning available. But no affect in case of freezing and massive stutters in game.

If I want to switch in flight back to the main menu it freezes but no CTD.
Closing MSFS window not possible. Only hard cut via the task manager works.
Clean Community Folder.

I got yesterday for a single flight full performance at render scale 110 @ 4K (RGB 422@12Bit and 60HZ). What I see was perfect smooth. But this was an one hit wonder.

If I pan around the aircraft the main thread reaction time increase up to 53ms. If not 12ms.

System is very powerful: 8700K @ 5.2 GHZ cropped with gallium. 2070 Super OC @ 2010 MHZ.
M.2 MP510 SSD.

So this make all no sense.

Here is what i would try

Maybe some other program eats up your bandwith i mean i have the de luxe premium on the microsoft store version so i close steam when i want to fly and maybe there are streaming devices elsewhere in your home eating up bandwith to.
Also if check your lan or WiFi settings if configured properly like packet size, up and download speed or size.
If you can find it in simulator than there must be something which is easy but Jet maybe overlooked.

Hope it works out for you

Tenhos amigos com processadores piores que o meu e de 4 nucleos que estão tendo uma performace pelo menos 35% melhor do que estavam, e o problema não existe com eles mas comigo sim! Não sei se esse pode ser o problema.

On this forum page you will find people who have very good processors and are experiencing the same problem.

You asked why and I only suggested a possibility … I am not in your shoes but my advice about background processes isn’t going to change. 4 cores is soon going to be obsolete.

Also Asobo have been a little too aggressive with their memory optimisations but I expect they will give a little back.

Having the same issue, its very annoying. Was working ok before this update… but it is smoother in flight

Yes the stuttering when panning isn’t limited to 4 core processors, it has affected 8 core ten/eleven series Intel’s. It also appears highly unlikely to be background processes as the frame rate/time is perfectly stable and very high when the camera is static, but plummets into a stuttery mess when the camera is moved. It also saturates the processor massively, causing a temperature spike and fans to spin up, before returning moments later to normal when the camera becomes static again. Suggests it’s a rendering engine bug first and foremost, perhaps a software conflict, but highly unlikely a hardware issue.

Not just us, I’m pretty sure Asobo will want this fixed ASAP

Same here, long freezes/ stutters gone, but the microstutters are back!

The microstutters when panning around cokpit is super-annoying. On my setup Intel i9-9900 with 32GB ram and RTX3080, a long pause show main thread activity when looking down at console and back up to horizon view. It became even worse after the hotfix. Hope there will be a quick fix for this

Zero stutters, micro or otherwise on my system. i8700, 1080gtx/32 meg ram.

Most setting are on Ultra and I have the .cfg file LOD modded to the 6 range for Terrain and Objects.

I can pan around and it is silky smooth.

Weird.

I’m getting micro stutters when panning and flying.

GTX1660S, I tried Medium and High-end, same result but, graphics and panning are smooth, up until a stutter.

CPU is fine, GPU runs constantly at 96%.

At least the sim is usable, just annoying.
