Stuttering still over 3 years! Any help?

[AstroCat]

Another quick test is to run the F4UTT track and watch in the first few scenes as the planes fly over the trees. I always get a stutter here if I have Shaders on.

[IceFire]

Core 2 Duo E6850
2GB of RAM
GeForce 8600GTS

My video card isn't quite up to snuff but aside from a couple of drops in framerate I can fly around all of the Crimea map with no stutters at all.

Make sure you do three things:

1) In the nVidia control panel make sure that your IL-2 profile is setup to have "Threaded Optimization Off".

2) Also in the control panel for your IL-2 profile turn VSync off.

3) Get the latest DLL's from this thread: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...highlight=DLLs There are several variations so I'm not 100% sure on which you should use but be sure to ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR CURRENT FILES before you install the new ones.

I had microstutter problems on account of the nVidia card and the dual core system. Aside from that...very few performance issues.

Ahhh I bet I know your problem... 9800X2... says a lot.

Make sure you're NOT using Alternate Frame Rendering for IL2 it should be Single Frame Rendering.

I use nHancer 2.4.2 to force this setting for SLI. Your card is basically running in SLI even though its a single card.

Yeah I've tried both SFR and Single GPU both have the same effect. I can make it worse with AFR though.

I have the same processor and graphics card as Astrocat but no stutters.

As other posters have suggested get the March dll (this was the last release).

V sync on works best for me and this card with single frame rendering.

Also make sure you have just a single core set to run IL2.

Goes without saying but I hope your PSU is up to running these cards I have 60 amps on the 12v rails !!!!

I have built over 6 completely new systems during the past years using the IL2 1.0 through current 1946, patched 4.09

No stutters

Think about it. If you have built and used several systems and all of them have done the same or similar things. Take a hard look at your hardware, and peripherals. Especially any hardware item/s that you have used on all those systems.

Soundcards and acceleration were a big bugaboo for a long time. I haven't used a standalone sound card in the past three systems I've built.
I use the mobo onboard sound, and haven't had problems.

We have all had some types of issues with each system upgrade, and often IL2 addons and patches. We work through the issues and move on.

I've had powersupply issues as well. I moved up to 750Watt last system upgrade, 7 onboard fans, 3 additional fans on the mobo, 1 fan on the Videocard 8800 GTX OC

What I'm saying.. you may think you've done everything, but you'd be surprised sometimes just how far you have to go with hardware upgrades. Changing one thing can bum the works.

good luck

Yeah, I feel I've covered all angles on the testing. My current system is just so solid in every other way. And, the systems have varied so much over the past 5 or so years that it really isn't possible to think of one thing that would link them all together.

So you never get the little pauses even with water=4!? That must be pretty awesome! I have never been able to play this game like that, wish I could though. I definitely have tried really hard to get it to work, that is for sure.

PS: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX
Sound: X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series

And, I've been using the March dlls.

Is it possible you can post a Fraps capture of what you are seeing ?

I am a 60fps maniac. (considering Vsync limit)
I call it stutter when the game do not maintain 60fps and goes to 50 fps or little micropause when turning my view with TIR4.
I think the writer is a guy like me.


With E8500@3.16 , 4G ram, 8800GT, and SLC SSD setup,
FINALLY it's stutter free & 60-fps game for me even with perfect & large mirrors on.
It really is until Water=2 setting.

But STUTTER STILL EXISTS especially in Water=3 or Water=4 for me when slewing view with TIR. I don't know why it happens and thought I'd need GTX280 but I like water=2 so it should be no problem for me anymore.
It goes down to 40fps when I look down over sparkling water( in 3 or 4) and it seems like my VGA is bottleneck.

One last remaining fix wish is WARPING CLOUDS REFLECTION OVER WATER in perfect mode. Other than that, IL-2 sits in fps nirvana.

We too have little pauses with water=3 or 4
It seems Water=3 and 4 is still FOR FUTURE VGA.By the way, don't use forceware 181.20 which is new, it was so much terrible in IL-2. Stutter in every scene.
I recommned 180.48.

I too am locked solid on 60 fps due to vsync and have no stutters.

Warping clouds reflection ?

Or do you mean a shuffle back and forth ?

I see the clouds reflection in a rocking motion sometimes..... but warping ??
