Latest Win 11 2H 22 update

[T24_Martin]

No problems. I'm using just VR, Reberb G2 with a 3080. At First it was horrible with the 22 H2 update, but a few days later it worked flawlessly. I had to disable Vsync in Nvidea settings.

With your chip and card you should overall benefit, the older hardware probably not much hope to gain anything, so no reason.  Current win 11 is pretty rock solid with modern hardware, never looked so good in the G-2.

 

By the way, you can upgrade for free if you own a windows key from the past, any version.  You'll get the corresponding version to what the key is for, home, pro, or whatever.  I used an old win 95 key I owned from way back on one of my machines, worked just fine.

I have an old MacBook Pro running dual boot (Win8.1) I need to upgrade (was going to do Win10) and an Alienware 17 (Win10 Pro), but last I remembered the Win10 Pro machine was not compatible to Win11 due to the BIOS security settings, have they changed those requirements?

Enable Secure Boot · Enable TPM 2.0 must be switched on in the bios, or it tells you your machine isn't compatible, it never tells you why, but this is it.  Once you install it you can switch it back off if you want, it just won't update to any newer major version of 11.

Therein lies the rub.. I highly doubt this 2011 MacBook has the option, and actually dont think the 2017 Alien R4 has it either, but i'll check. Win10 would be fine for the MacBook, the Alien is already there so no issues..

Ok, like a fool I took the bait and upgraded my gamer to windows 11, now my frames have taken a dump! I've gone from really smooth frame rates in the high 80's with no stutters to the 50's and maxing out at 60fps, it's horrible there's constant stutters when looking around, darn near makes me motion sick. Is there something needed to be adjusted to get 11 to be the awe-inspiring end all of operating systems that's it's touted as? I'm running a G2, with a 3080ti, 5800x3d & 64 GB ram. Thx for any advice on this, I should have known better than to mess with something that was working good!

Try disabling the Holographic Shell, though I assumed they had fixed this by now - https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/poor-vr-performance-on-windows-11-22h2/525280/40?page=3

On a new install the NVIDIA control panel will occasionally cap to default frame rates, set them manual, max frame rate and background app.  I set both to 100 just above required VR, if you have an ultra high refresh rate monitor you might want to lower its refresh rate a bit closer to 100 to more evenly match out the required cycles coming off the same graphics card.  Often the reason why people get stuck at 60 FPS max.

I had to make sure that the NVIDIA Vertical Sync is either set to "Off" or "Fast". The default setting "Use the 3D application setting" would restrict the fps to max 60.

Now it goes as high as the system is capable off.

And make sure not to select the launcher.exe as this is the only one NVIDIA shows in the Program Settings tab. You have to add IL-2.exe yourself.

 

Now I can also see the difference, starting IL-2 will show max 60 fps until the program is fully loaded and from then on the fps goes to the max.
