Redwo1f Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 By 80% I mean that the clock in the aircraft cockpit (or in this case, Gambit's Rhineland test mission time call (displayed on screen) is 20% behind the actual time using a stopwatch. ********* Oh, P.S. - been playing with settings all day, and seems at least for PWCG, that turning my AA Density from Medium down to Low seems to have, at least so far (fingers crossed), eliminated any TD I was having earlier.

I would in your case try to monitor the frametimes onscreen (and not the FPS, google why not) and try to find out what is peaking the frametimes. I know Afterburner does have a nice feature that can show an onscreen Frametime graph and its digit, while playing in the monitor world. For VR I can advice fpsVR, that can be found as cheap payware in the Steamstore. What is btw your hardware?

For VR I can advice fpsVR, that can be found as cheap payware in the Steamstore. What is btw your hardware? Yes, I will take a look at that too. I will talk about the Gambit's Rhineland test mission as it is indicative of my experiences with TD when I have it - though with that mission it is there at the very start (with all those B-25's and also AA (though lite) present). It runs smoothly. Not getting noticeable stuttering/skips, etc. Framerates in cockpit stay 72-89 fps (69-105 outside) throughout (my monitor is only physically capable of 67hz anyway (slight overclock to get that)). Things "flow" (for lack of a better word) just fine - however, I guess the rate at which my cpu is sending to video card is slowed - in my case 1 minute game time (by aircraft cockpit clock - or in this case actual time call displayed by the mission) is actually 1 min 12 sec real life time (even though the fps are fine - at least for my system and monitor) - and this stays consistent throughout with this mission/benchmark. So, it is slower than it ought to be. This is my understanding of what time dilation is (please correct me if I misinterpret). I have a modest system - though I do play at 1080p. I don't do VR. My specs are i5-7700, 16GB ram, GTX 1660 super. I don't always experience time dilation - and much of the time, and many missions I encounter none (game clock speed matches real life) - however, when I do hit it, it almost invariably tends to be that 20% hit (1 min in-game time = 72 secs realtime - the slo-mo effect (and just big enough to notice for me - though still smooth as butter, if that makes any sense). I know in here and in other threads it has been surmised to be likely related to the game engine, programing/optimization, and in particular AI - the taxing it takes on a system with more and more "thinking" assets (and influenced by mission design) - though as Gambit says, it just seems to occur no matter what in some situations. I don't encounter it often with static campaigns (though admittedly I haven't played them all (but own many)) - and never experience it with Quick play missions whatsoever. Can't comment really on in-house dynamic campaign engine (as I really don't use it anymore). It does occur more frequently for me with PWCG (and I have since really started to look with more a purpose as to this issue in particular and various adjustment settings -- and as I said, AA seems to be a big player for me and my system here (at least that is what it is looking like at this point). Edit: For anybody with a similar system and also PWCG player, right now these settings seemed to have greatly improved/eliminated TD (so-far-so good - still early): Air Density - Low, Ground Density - Medium, AA Density - Low, CPU Allowance - Low, Structures - Medium.

Hi, would you mind telling me what the settings were at, prior to these settings, when you were still having the issue? Can you list any iterations of the settings that did *not* seem to help (or made it worse)? What I'm thinking is, of course, which of the settings helped - and thus which are likely more related. If that makes any sense. I'm just before getting into the sim myself (thanks to a very kind soul who knows my gratitude), and so I'm interested in any pros/cons, whatever. Thanks.
BladeMeister Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I don't know if most know it but this problem was experienced back in PWCG in ROF. I experienced it back in the day in ROF when my AMD Phenom II 965 BE and GTX 770 4 GB was a fast system. I found back then that the high activity setting would experience this problem heavily in dogfights and medium activity was still basicaly unplayable in large dofights, 8-10 planes or more. Only the low activity was usable for me. Don't get me wrong I love what Pat was doing then and is doing now, but this is not a new problem. S!Blade<>< Edited February 12, 2021 by BladeMeister 1

Well I wasn't working with the goal to try and see what increases TD on my system, so I didn't increase the settings (except in one case - will mention later). I can tell you that I made a change in CPU Allowance from "Medium" to "Low" - and that made an impact - but not always consistently so (and that makes sense as it is my understanding based on Pat's posts, if I am understanding them correctly, that that effects "friendly" generation of bombers not directly involved with player's mission). Made that change first. But the bigger impact has been reducing AA Density from what I had previously as "Medium" down to "Low". - was reluctant to make this move initially as I like to do a lot of fighter bombing and ground attack (but low still seems okay, though not as deadly - but the trade off seems fair as far as TD for me, at this point). Actually increased Structures from "Low" to "Medium" without any adverse impact for my system, so it seems to date. Still looking at things and seeing if things hold.
NoBreaks Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Perfect, thanks I hope you can manage to keep us posted. I'd definitely be interested in how your changes/findings hold up over time.
Dutch2 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I never did read or see from serious reviewers, anything about using TD for benchmarking, you could ask Steve from GamersNexus what his opinion is about this new type of test methodology. This do sound weird, but if your are suspecting the i5-7600 non-k, I suppose its not an i5-7700, does holding up the Vcard then use higher graphic ingame settings. On the internet there is an explanation why a system is running decent Frametimes at 4k, while at 1080 its sucks If not did, then turn on XMP in your Bios, its free, safe and will gain extra horsepower to your system. Anther interesting experiment, based on my ROF and WoFF experience, would be disable all Vsync, ingame and at Nvidia CP. Use Windowed mode and cap your FPS to 60FPS, if you are running an 60Hz monitor then shift down to 58cap. But most important you have to determine what is bottlenecking.

Hi Dutch, I'm not sure but there may be a misunderstanding here. It is not my impression anyone is 'using TD for bench marking' (I could be wrong). Earlier in the thread it was discussed that "time dilation" (TD) causes slowdowns that are visible in the game as what you might call 'slow-motion'. I don't think anyone was referring to a "TD" as a type of test methodology - again, I could be wrong. (BTW "time dilation" is not my choice of terms, but not up to me what others call it) Incidentally, of course everyone has their own preference, but Steve at GN has been wrong before (as have all online "influencers"). I personally recommend not looking at *any* online source like they're always right (because they're not).

I’m not saying it isn’t, who knows its like the whole Frametime discussion that started with https://techreport.com/review/21516/inside-the-second-a-new-look-at-game-benchmarking/ Think its very interesting but we only need to know if its the right way. about GN: If you have an better suggestion let me know, but Steve is one of the few who is easily to contact, while he is a very experienced tester. And, if he is wrong he is always willing to admit about that, unlike others. Maybe Igor from Igorslab could also be the right person inhere btw. Edited February 13, 2021 by Dutch2
NoBreaks Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Unless I'm mistaken, I believe what people are discussing in this thread is that "time dilation" is (somewhat) of an issue with game performance - again, not a method of measurement; rather, a problem in the way the game behaves. A "bug" if you will (although I'm not saying it is a bug specifically, nor has anyone else). More a 'wart' in colloquial software terms, perhaps. Re: GN/Steve - I take *all* of those people - Linus, Jayz, Steve etc etc etc...with a huge grain of salt. They are all imperfect and often influenced themselves by other factors that may or may be accurate/appropriate. I've seen Steve make absolute mistakes in his videos, and the worst is that too many people act like he can't be wrong - therefore when he *is* wrong, it's still accepted as being correct. Problem. Anyhow, that isn't the subject of this thread. As I've said above, I think there is possibly some confusion about what TD is. It is an issue that people have seen occurring in the game, as opposed to any sort of benchmark or measurement tool. I hope this makes sense.

I went for an i5 9600k bundled with a Gigabyte Z390 Ultra Durable Mobo and Coolermaster CPU cooler all for £375 new on Ebay. For people on a tight budget it's a really good deal! I am hoping to overclock to 5GHz (cpu) and I got second hand 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 DDR4 RAM for under £100, which my tech friend says he can overclock to 3600MHz. He reckons that the CPU is good at single core performance, but I haven't got it all up and running to test it due to very slow internet at the moment, but soon I will post on the forum my results with IL-2 for people interested in a cheap build. Around Christmas time I was waiting on stock of the RTX 3080 and 3070 cards, if I hadn't bit the bullet on a used RTX 2080ti I would still be waiting! Be well, Algy-Lacey

I have been slowly dropping very far behind the technology curve, but in the next week I will be very close to the top again. By the way that 965 & 770 combo is still running strong and running IL2 at 59FPS consistently on a Balanced graphics setting. The old girl is still pulling her weight and runs in the low 60s C°.

Fascinating. At the same time, naturally, performance demands have increased - so no surprise at all that a much newer, more detailed sim would benefit from something...newer, we'll say

Boy do I feel dumb! Maybe I can do some testing soon LOL. A system or methodology will need to be created to observe any meaningful data as to the reason this slow down in visual fluidity occurs while the FPS remains high. Personally I think it is to many objects being supported by IL2's engine during PWCG or possibly during the in game career, which I have also encountered. I wonder If taking one of PWCG missions and opening it in the Mission Editor(ME) and then piece by piece deconstructing the mission might reveal the most resource hungry objects which are causing this slow down. Say disable the AAA in a mission or maybe substituting a lesser building template. Anyway, basically picking apart or disabling key parts of one of these missions that has a known slow down to isolate the culprit. Just thinking out loud while the bulb is still lit.

NoBreaks Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Sounds like an excellent approach to figuring out what's going on.

You would be in a much better position to determine that cut off level than I would. Just running a clean install, no mods, plus PWCG only would seem to be the best foundation. I am not sure if BOBP would be the best map to test on though as it is quite big and possibly the must resource hungry of all of the maps. S!Blade<><
Hartigan Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Here's a quick demonstration of how CPU development is evolving. My old loyal 7600k(purple) versus the new 5600x
NoBreaks Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Right...and TBH, it's not as if the 7600k is in any way incapable; certainly far from it. Also, you'll note the single-thread improvement is nowhere near that of multi-thread. The Zen3 architecture is remarkable. I've built two of these X570/5600X platforms fairly recently, and they are real monsters The most recent one competes on fairly equal terms with my own 9900k (which is overclocked at 5100) when using AMD PBO.

There are other posts around suggesting that it can and does happen to everyone, regardless -- and Gambit27 (major mission/campaign designer) has stated that it is unavoidable - it just happens regardless of cpu (suggests some significant engine/optimization flaws to me - also why big bombers will not likely ever be possible in current situation (yet alone lots of ships either I am thinking, idk - I am probably doomed anyway as far as that goes, lol)).

BladeMeister Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Honestly all things considered, IMHO, this is just a product of having all of the AI use the same FMs as the player controlled plane does. Then add on a bunch of active AA, active trucks, tanks and whatever else and you have one loaded CPU and stressed memory and SSD/HDD and GPU. Plus you have PWCG working and doing all kinds of awesome stuff with the mission itself. I just wonder if anything can be isolated as causing this slowdown beyond this general cause?

Redwo1f Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Yes all that (completely agree), and not utilizing multicores well or effectively with the current engine too, I think (and potentially the very programing/optimization of the AI coding as well). For reference (and not meant to be a this is better than that at all), I have yet to encounter TD whatsoever in Tobruk (with similar and even much heavier assets present) - though I have the odd stutter there (for me, system related in that department I am sure). I am starting to get obsessed with pulling out a stopwatch now though ?? Edited February 14, 2021 by Redwo1f 1
BladeMeister Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Yes, two totally different sim engines. Unfortunately I have spent very very limited time in DW Tobruk so I look forward to jumping into that sim all hot and heavy also with the new rig. It is almost ready!? What little I did fly in Tobruk with my AMD 965 & GTX770 combo, I encoutered a very smooth fluid experience such as you described. It is a good time to be a sim pilot!

Thanks but no thanks - we don’t need special Steve to comment on something that he knows nothing about in this case.

BladeMeister Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Regarding PWCG, you made this statement earlier in the thread. "Certain things like Attack MCU logic, AAA “brains” seem to have a great deal to do with this phenomenon." PWCG has to use these MCUs and sometimes has a lot of AA, and I am not sure how this is created in his app, but it must contribute to the load just as if you had made the mission in the ME yourself. Certainly you know better than I do after creating all of the missions/campaigns that you have. My new rig is finished! Wahooo! Just downloaded IL2 GBS last night and I will try to test the mission you suggested in a week or so. I have to think this is just, "it is what it is", and there is not clear cut answer. S!Blade<><

Yep - but it’s still just standard editor logic. In other words there’s nothing unusual going on in the sense of resources being utilized as opposed to a manually created mission. He does some creative things with waypoints, but that’s a non-factor. The difference in any mission is always how many units, of what type, and what are they doing. I have cases where a heavy mission runs fine, then a single extra aircraft suddenly causes heavy TD. The degradation is not linear nor always predictable.
