VR Performance since 09/21 update

[TCW_DirtyMike0330]

Has anyone experienced any performance drop in VR since the last update? Without changing any settings, my frame times were taking a serious hit today, especially with the HUD on. Generally, I maintain 45fps with frame times in the low teens, but today they were spiking into the 30s and even the 40s with HUD on.

I delete my startup.config after an update if I have problems.  Reinstalling the game is one option I don't like to do but will on occasion.  I personally have seen no performance drops, I was running the beta and the standard install before this update and I saw no differences except on the other server (test) I ran at 114fps most of the time.  Online in CB I get around 55fps just sitting on the ground.  Give it sometime for the MP servers to get sorted with settings after patch.  And I'm only running a 1060 card, with high settings, not maxed out, cause I don't really care about high detail grass at 10,000ft... LOL.  And I don't use mirrors.............  if they are an option. 

 

There is always a hotfix after an update, if there is a problem it will be addressed, especially if the Devs see a problem.

If you were using the FSR openvr_api.dll you will need to reinstall it because the update probably overwrote it.

I will reinstall it and see if that helps, thanks

Yes, I have noticed a performance drop. My observations so far are that it's something to do with tracers. Whenever there are tracers on screen I have a pretty severe jump in CPU frametimes. For instance if I fire a long burst, CPU frametimes go from ~8ms to ~24ms. CPU is stock I9-9900k.

 

Anyone else?

It's a know problem and Han said they are working on it.

I suppose it appears when gunfire is in the view. We're working on it, soon will be a hot-fix.

Good to hear!

I was wondering what I might be doing wrong to get stutters and bad performance, and indeed it was happening when tracers were around - relieved to see it wasn't me!

[TCW_DirtyMike0330]

My issues were completely resolved. Unfortunately, verifying files, re-installing mods, etc did nothing and I still had major FPS loss and stuttering. However, a full uninstall/reinstall (my first time having to do this with IL2) fixed everything and I am back to my pre-update level of performance.

The hotfix resolved the issue for me.
