horrific stuttering makes multiplayer impossible since dx11 patch [it's a bug - only devs can fix]

[Urra]

Could they just update a setting in the launcher that allows the end user to check a box for Nvidia or AMD, and then the program will utilize the appropriate shaders required for each GPU?

Seems like a logical and quick interim fix while they work on a long term solution.

Good solution. 1+

I only play SP but I also have been having stutters since DX11 hotfix, even with frame rates around 100 FPS.

 

I also have been messing with Steel Fury lately, I have a bunch of different installs on my machine as I play with different mod setups. I have two identical installs of the game, one on my C drive (SSD) and one on my F drive (HDD). I noticed that the one on the SSD had stutters and the same install on the HDD did not. So I copied and pasted my IL2 folder onto the HHD and gave it a try. Smooth a silk, I have no idea why. I played the same scripted missions from both installs several times tonight, SSD stutters and the HDD does not.

sounds like a weak SSD or bad one.

Same for me. Horrible stuttering while in the vicinity of other planes. All since the last patch. Fps are fine, it feels like some kind of net lag.

I would not believe it possible witha 300 MB down and a 30Mb up

[discusdiscusbob]

Yeah I spoke to soon, its still there, Maybe just a bit better on my F drive.

 

Around 100 FPS most of the time, never lower than 60. Yet stutters when there is any action. For me its like a little hitch every 2 seconds or so, just a little perceptible pause.

The first test on Berloga yesterday evening is gone very well without stuttering at all, even if IL2 has given again the Full Screen error (SAMSUNG 22'' HDMI) and FFB2 was plugged and activated.

Just the placebo effect of a new pc, this conflict no matter how good the machine does not help.

[SCG_motoadve]

Same here, latest patch ruined , lots of stutters now, offline and online.

Win 7 64 bit

Nvidia GTX 1080

Intel i7

[ACG_Invictus]

The stutters actually seem to be getting a bit worse with the latest patch. Same symptoms: Online only. More planes in render range the more pronounced the stuttering. Playing multiplayer during the day is basically impossible since the main servers are heavily populated.

 

Will the devs ever repond?

I never had issues with the stuttering until this patch.

 

When near other aircraft my game basically turns into a Powerpoint slideshow.

[Garuda]

Same here. Only online. Firstly I thought network lag due to my network provider.

Worse in WOL. Slightly better in Beloga somehow.

[69th_Panp]

The stuttering issue for me is when planes are within 3 or 4 kilcks and get worse as they get closer.

Maybe a Operating system check is needed to see if its related ?

 

My system is win 7 pro 64 bit

 

Yours ?

 

 

have any devs even spoke of this ?

Edited March 11, 2017 by Panp

Can you guys check if special effects, mainly other planes firing on each other, triggers the stuttering. It appears to me thats when Im getting it. Steady 60 fps all the time, still...

[Semor76]

Looks like I can join the club.I got the same terrible stuttering in Online matches if more than 3-4 Planes are near my own Plane. FPS is stable around 50.So,I ask some others in the chat and they can confirm this problem.

 

I wonder why nobody of the Dev. Team take notice of this.

[ACG_pezman]

While I haven't been able to fly the past couple of weeks, I was able to hop on for a bit yesterday just to notice that I have a stuttering issue that I never used to.

 

What has changed?

[[BSS-214]commiekiller18]

Has this been fixed yet? Been a few months since Ive logged due to this...

[69th_Panp]

Nope it is still a problem

[IRRE_Jahspi]

Still have stuttering in MP, when a lot off ground targets and/or planes pop out.

My specs :

• I7 6700k OC @4.5
• GTX 1080
• 16 Gb DDR4
• Ultra preset
• 4k resolution
• all options enable except for extra grass
• Vsync on

Still no solution for this issue ?

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

I think Windows 7 isn't supported any long? so the EULA wouldn't apply for a lot of you guys stuck in the stone ages..

 

So maybe they need to update the minimums to Windows 8, 8.1, 10 systems only..or microsoft supported O.S's? 

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

 

so if I was the developers I would say you're on a non supported OS..

The stutters happen even in 8.1 but it gets confusing because there's different causes for different types of "stutters" If the video card sync is wrong there will be a constant jarring stutter, usually fixed by turning on vsync and making sure graphic options aren't set too high. In multiplayer there's often a stutter when some objective gets completed or something gets attacked or explodes (so is how the game announces events unoptimized in some way?) Another type of stutter seems to appear while you're traversing the map and planes are entering your area (so is how the game loads resources unoptimized, maybe it could preload more resources and use more RAM in exchange for a longer load time?) Some of these might be caused by high pings and people connecting from different areas. It's not so bad that it's unplayable but it's hard to ignore.

Did you work for Microsoft and want to share some Win 10 Copies...

Win 7 is supported until 2020, upgrade to WIN 10 never.. 

Have also sometimes Freezes that Game is looking like a slideshow, but with constant 60 FPS

re-read; Win 7 is supported January 13, 2015 End of mainstream support; only for corporations, and if you paid for the extended contracts with governments 2020.

[9./JG27MAD-MM]

The Mainstream Support is gone, Win 7 doesnt get any new Futures.

But this doesnt Mean you dont get any future Saftey Updates or Bug Fixes up to 2020 as privat User so far for Germany.

After Divx 11 supported from Win 7 there is no need to change to Win 10.

[[BSS-214]commiekiller18]

Bump, and it aint windows, this started happening to me after the first or second hot fix after the dx update. After the dx update the game was butter in all aspects then a hotfix made it stutter. Would really like to be able to play online again, only got over 100usd sunk into this.

[moonatic]

Have these stutters now too. I just don´t know with which of the last patches it apears cause i haven´t played BoX for some time. There where always some stutters here and there ever in this game for me but now it´s just unplayable. I play multiplayer only and the stutter and freezes apear whenever other planes are nearby. Ingame FPS indicator shows constant 60.

Try the Correct profile for Nvidia cards guys.

Some of the profiles i have seen even in this post are terrible & make no sense
You never should be running like 4 frames pre-rendering (hello input lag)

Here this is The Correct Profile for GTX780-1080ti or better with 3GHZ+ CPU.

**The Above Vsync setting is for those without G-Sync Monitors - You must turn OFF ingame Vsync**
FAST allows upto 120FPS on 60hz monitors with very Minimal tearing and No input lag
FORCE ON Allows upto 60fps without tearing and minimal input lag

Good Luck
 

[ITAF_Rani]

Do you use FFB Joysick and Track-Ir?

Update: try to raise "camera smoothing" in control panel menu, this solved the problem for me.

Txs Fox, I also use FF2 and Tr Ir..after last hotfix..I had microstuttering...solved problem rising camera smoothness from 50 to 100 Edited October 7, 2017 by ITAF_Rani

Just gave these settings a trial run and for the most part it seems to have eliminated the occasional micro-stutters. Thanks!

Same here. When moving head with track ir, it's a picture show at 60 fps. Above settings don't help unfortunately. Somehow interaction with trackir is getting chopped into slices. Edited October 7, 2017 by TunaEatsLion

Hi Sshadow I have a GTX 770 vers 376.33

Your advices could be helpful also for mine?

[150GCT_Veltro]

Same here. After the last hotfix, "the strange" microst uttering is come back. I will try your tip.

[150GCT_Veltro]

Camera smooth on 100% and the Nvidia setting posted above does work fine. Microstuttering is gone. Thank you.

 

[ITAF_Rani]

Hi Veltro which type of Nvidia do you use?

Mine is GTX 770 do you think I could set same parameters?

[150GCT_Veltro]

GTX 1060 but i don't think that microstuttering is related to GPU, but instead to some VR default hardcoded setting introduced with the last hotfix. I still have some stuttering when i'm close to another aircraft, even if a fighter (bombers have more polycount).

 

Hotfix "d" has broken something i'm afraid.

[303_Kwiatek]

I got heavy stutters at Kuban map online where near other dogfighting planes even with constant 60 fps. Other maps seemed ok for me.

I got I5 4.5 Ghz with gtx 670.
