Stoopy Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 What video card are you using? With an NVidia GTX970 I myself have been consistently experiencing sudden crashes to desktop on the Bodenplatte map mostly when flying online. Disabling the 4K textures and the new setting for far draw distance of buildings seems to have fixed it for the most part, and I run with only a modest amount of other graphic settings enabled under "Balanced". I would have hoped that using settings that the card can't handle would have just impacted frame rates, but instead it seems to have impacted stability, although that could be a driver issue as well. I know a 970 isn't terribly current but it's not a slouch... even so maybe it's time to increase the published minimum system requirements to a GTX 1070 level or higher?
keeno Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Stooy I've got a GTX980ti and I've got the same issues as you describe. for the first time I've had to slightly lower my settings to try and stop random crashes and stuttering. I think it may soon be time for some hardware upgrades! Cheers 1
IckyATLAS Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 If you can wait when the Ampere card series will be released next year you may get a RTX 2070 Super or a RTX2080Ti for a low price.
Stoopy Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Yep, but that will be a long wait and much to be missed out on MP. I did get a crash to desktop Saturday night on CombatBox with the Bodenplatte map even with 4K and far draw disabled, so even that is no solution, and GermanWolfe, you may not be out of the woods just yet. Although I hope that you are. Santa may have to stock up on 2070's and/or 2080's for December if we can be on good behavior... but man that's a $500 solution to a problem that buys other enticing things I've been jonesing for (that don't crash to the desktop) instead... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UtqBWaQ4nQ Priorities.... .

simfan2015 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Indeed, the Ampere nvidia card, but its release may be about a year from now. Nvidia has no tough competition from anyone. I am afraid even the rumoured 7nm card will become even more expensive because of this. Where I live the SUPER cards were even introduced with a rather big price premium over the non super cards ! Knowing there are so many engine enhancements (i.e. will probably demand more from the GPU) for IL-2 as well as DCS a better graphics card would be more than welcome ! Draw distance is only the beginning I guess...

JG7_RudeRaptor Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Every time there is a new patch I have issues. Latest one was very bad studdering. I uninstalled IL2 and reinstall it again. 1
161snails Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I somehow sorted the stuttering but new patch today.....back worse than ever.

161snails Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I only fly offline to be honest, however lije yourself i tweaked the graphics a little and pretty much cured it. seems like its back to the drawing board. i spend more time tweaking than i do flying these days
