I’m getting single bursts of single digit framerates on the ground, no matter the airport, no matter the aircraft. This was not a problem until Windows forced me to install the big update. Looking for advice. I’m about to try DX12 and see if that affects performance.
Edit: DX12 much worse. FrameGen wouldn’t even start and locked up the sim. In both versions of DX I get bursts of 40+ fps and then it just goes to single digits or 1. Especially when changing to external view.
I should note, I was having the same bad performance with that older driver. I don’t recall the exact version. I had hoped that the new version would take into account Win11 24H2.
Tried '24 and the situation was actually worse. Got the same problems after loading. When I clicked “fly” my PC locked up completely. I think it was using 100% of CPU but I couldn’t see the load meter. I had to manually power down the PC.
No issues here with 2024. This is sounding like a hardware issue. If you’re coming across crashes to desktop I suggest taking a look at Windows Event Viewer or if complete PC crashes the Windows dump file.
There does seem to be a problem with 190_E65870 under ProgramData\NVIDIA\NGX however with this problem MSFS crashes when you launch it (it crashes around the midpoint of loading). Deleting everything with the 190_E65870 name bypasses this issue. I have no idea if deleting these will cause any problems at some point. This issue does not affect MSFS 2024 it seems.
Recently finished a 3 hour flight in 2020 and had no problems whatsoever. Went back to 2024 and it too is peachy. My PC is pretty bare bones and only use it for gaming.
