Micro-Stutters

[adonys]

Go to ..\steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ and right click on the Launcher.exe file and select properties. Go to Compatibility tab and check Disable visual themes, Disable desktop composition and Run this program as administrator.

By disabling the visual themes or desktop composition (I don't remember right now which of them), you might not be able to access the Save custom user settings window (as it 's a Windows window, so it would need those). You just uncheck that one when you need to save those, then check it back again, as you won't save those settings so often.

To disable Windows Indexing Service, you need to right click on My Computer, select Manage, then go to Service and Applications -> Services tree and look for the Windows Search service. Select it, right click on it and select properties and there put Startup type on Manual or Disabled and press the Stop button.

Paging file and virtual memory are exactly the same thing.

And it's not about the performance, you won't have higher FPS, it's about making sure you have everything in memory and while Il2CoD might thing he cached everything in memory, actually W7 might store some of those into the virtual memory, ie on HDD, and bringing those back into mem might cause the micro-stutters.

A SSD might help, but everyone advises to NOT use SSD for continuous (small) file writing (ie not for the paging file), as it will result in a fast degradation of SSD's performance and life span.

My God...

W7 won't "bring back into mem" useless or non-priority data when you fly CloD... If you have enough RAM all you need ASAP will be stored in it. If you don't have, virtual memory will save the day. Simple as that.

Well... another nonsense thread, as a lot in this forum... This talking about virtual memory settings is old, and the conclusion is easy:

- You don't achieve better performance in games when disable virtual memory.

And FPS compute these "micro-stutters", so, if your average FPS is the same, no gain at all...

Do some serious testing isolating only this variable (virtual memory) and come back.

With this, you only achieve that you can't reach load/save menus. As said before, W7 isn't stupid: Aero will be disabled if CLoD is running in fullscreen mode, with or without these settings. Another placebo thing.

Good. Thing is, with all these settings, and my system, I do NOT have microstutters. What about you?!!

GTX 560Ti 1GB and Texture and all settings in highest?

Don't you have microstutters? Or you are talking about this conf.ini you posted even with aircraft textures downgraded?

[adonys]

oh god, here we go again..

I am playing IL2 CoD latest Steam version with MAX SETTINGS (ie everything maxed out), on the system in my sig, with NO MICROSTUTTERS at all..

And while we're here, I am asking you: do you ever did Win 7 programming and had Win 7 under the hood knowledge needed for your work, or are you talking just from what you "know" from various internet websites, or M$ statements?

Because what I know, I know as a Windows game developer back from 2002 until today..

It obvious you don't have a deep knowledge about how M$'s operating system or its page file system is working in detail, but you're talking..

Be my guest, keep your virtual memory as long as you want to, but don't try to feed me up with your agresive "knowledge".

In the end, the results are the ones talking: I DO NOT have microstutters.. Do you?!! And why do you think I don't have them, because my system is a NASA one, or because of the way I know to tinker with it?!!

Just think a little bit, for god's sake..
