Guess I hit the wall

I've been having great fun with the 105 update.  New map, new planes and a new campaign....  good times!

 

Not much fun anymore though since I got to the second phase of the BoS Part 1 campaign.  FPS and stutters are worse than ever, the game crashes a few times a day and even Windows is crashing (overheat?)

 

I think my old PC is just not keeping up with the game engine.  Too bad, I didn't even get to put Battle of Moscow on it.

 

Oh well.... it's been fun.

Never mind.  Upgrade when you get a chance and the good times can come back.

I can sympathize BlueHeron. My machine is getting older too. I can't fly the campaign with fluidity I'd prefer, but I can still fly the quick missions or just tool around and enjoy the sim with high settings. I wouldn't walk away completely from it until your upgrade.

Not sure whats the point here?

 

So you have an old Pc, and? I think the solution is pretty clear.

FX6300 100$ Asus R9 270x 180ish (if you check'used' there will be brand new open box/damaged box items for dirt cheap got mine for 150$)

 

What ever parts your old PC has carry them over.(Harddrive Ram MB(if it can run AM3+ )

 

Spent 400$ for a FX6300,R9-270x,89$MB(wanted the 8usb ports) and got 8GB 1600mhz Ram for 33ish (bundle deal). Carried my HD and my Windows7 Serial key from my old pc. 

 

I can play the Campaign on High with no issues at all. runs smooth and great.

A little empathy wouldn't hurt would it?

I found out that the the largest map size in campaign will cut FPS for some reason. Could be because of all the markings on it.

The point is I'm venting.   ;)  Glad to hear the stuttering might be fixed, I'll try again after 1.106 is released.

 

I was hoping not to upgrade soon.  Having 2 AMD video cards, I'm hoping to see some great performance gains with the DirectX 11 version of DCS.  If yes then I'll stick with DCS for the time being... if not then I'll start shopping for new hardware.   :)

 

Thanks for the tips, Tenko.
