Stuttering Every Few Seconds

[re84uk 0]

Hi

 

I have currently trying DX10 using Steve's fixer and the "How To" doc, however I have some problems.

 

Everytime I set up DX10, after a few days I will start to experience about a second freeze/stutter every 5 seconds or so.  I dont have this problem under DX9.  I only fly the PMDG 737 and 777 and its happens with both of these aircraft.  I run in windowed mode.

 

Mains specs are:

 

4670K i5 @ 4.4ghz

Nvidia 670 GTX graphics card

8MB RAM

Samsung 840 EVO SSD

Are you running the "Autosave" option of the retail version of FSUIPC?

Just checked and no Im not.

Still experiencing this issue every few flights or so.  The sim will will stutter/pause for around half a second every 5 seconds or so.  Any more ideas?

[Jetblst 23]

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40

 

Bump this to 120 and ONLY that.  [  TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=120   ]

 

Test fly whatever you are flying in test mode.  That ought to bring a bit more smoothness.

RE84.  Please upate your computer stats like I have in mine

Are you using EZDOK? Try setting process priority to high. 

[Perry333 7]

How do you set EZDOK to high priorty

[re84uk 0]

No I dont use EZ dock.  I shall try TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=120 and see what happens.

I am having the same issue .. Like pause for about 5 Seconds.. Did that work for you?

Sidh, what Nvidia driver are you using? Anything past 332.21 made FSX pause for about 4 to 5 seconds. More so around FSDreamteam amd ORBX airports.

You're on 335.23. I think you can still get the 332.21 driver off of Nvidia to test with. If it doesn't fix the problem, you can always go  back to 335.23. After upgrading off of 332.21, I would get a 4 to 5 second pause. Just as if I hit the pause key. This won't fix stuttering though. I had a case open with Nvidia on the issue but they couldn't duplicate it. I didn't figure they would.

[sjed 9]

I think the couatl engine is what is causing stutters, usually at high graphics area. Try removing the fsdreamteam airport and couatl engine and see what you get. You can always reinstall it if that isn't the culprit.

[CVO110 3]

Mines working. I don't have anymore issues.

Downgrading to that driver fixed the problem for me so far but another problem occurs while landing at night I can't See PAPI lights properly? they don't glow.
