Hi guys

 

Firstly I've follow this link http://www.robainscough.com/site/a9a4dde4b3cc4d74b47b1068ae08cf54/default?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.robainscough.com%2FP3D_V2_82ZI.php to setting up my P3D. &

 

My P3D began very smooth (45FPS) but after seven minuts they killed (11FPS)

 

Any ideas !!!!!!!!!!! its a very strange and its the first time ever this occurs.

Guys this occurs in each opening of the P3D. !!!!!

Monitor your CPU and GPU temps. Maybe they are getting too hot.

Monitor your CPU and GPU temps. Maybe they are getting too hot.

Look, thats occurs when I start the p3d after seven minuts or so from the start, I closed it and open again but its start whith this poir frames, I close it again and restart my PC then open it again, its start smooth and after the period of time it gets poor in frames.

 

I get only seven or eight minuts smooth after each PC restart, if I dont restart the PC and open it again without restart the PC I get this poor frames immediately !!!!!

 

Now I've monitored the CPU, in the first minutes I started the game the Core 0 is nearly 100% used, Core 2 is less usable (35%), Core 3 & 4 less than the both (6% usable), at this stage the P3D v2.4 is very smooth (45 to 50 FPS), after nearly eight minutes the Core 0 usability drops suddenly from 100% to 40%.

 

Looking to this post http://forum.avsim.net/topic/451619-cpu-spikes-every-few-minutes-causing-low-fps-and-stutters/ they have the similar problem.

 

The tempreture is very normal and stable (Max reached tempreture is 64ºC).

 

Does anyone knows what is that, is it P3D V2.4 bug ???? really its needed to the contact to found the cause and fix it !!!!

 

Still waiting the activities !!!!!!

I've lowering all graphical settings,

Same results,

The problem is in the Core 0 usibility droping. If we can make it always 100% then I think the problem will completely disappear.

 

!!!!!!

Have you changed any settings around in your cfg file? 2.4 is at its best with nothing being touched in the config file.

Also what settings do you have in your GPU software, either Nvidia, or AMD? I would default everything and go from there first.

 

You also have not stated what, if any addons you have installed and how you installed them if they are not P3D native.

Hi william, I start from the zero, new cfg with the standard setting, same thing, l've also lowering the setting from standard to lesser alsoo the same thing.

 

Mg GPU is NVIDIA GTX 680, there is some thing related to the P3D,

 

I dont touch anything in the NVsettings except follow the changes on the NVI Prepar3D profile as in the link I posted in the first of the topic.

In the first of the launching the Core 0 is 100% and that is giving the smoothness, then it suddenly and accedintly drop to 40%, its obviously clear that is causing the hitting. This is the basic of the problem.

 

I hope lookheedmartin read this !!!!!!

LM has a forum, if you want them to read your message. 

 

But is it doing that in other games as well?

I dont think this is a LM problem as I have not seen anyone talk about this.

 

Do you have any other programs running also at the same time? Anti-virus or the like?

 

Also what directory have you installed P3D? The x86 folder?

I have kaspersky internet security and I disable it before opening P3D.

 

Yes its installed in 86x folder.

Nope !

The x86 in my opinion is the root of most people's issues. Even with correct permissions Windows still has issues allowing access and write permissions to that folder. I know you don't want to hear it but I would reinstall to a folder that you make in the normal c drive

_{Agreed. More problems have been caused by installing into x86 than not. Some people get lucky and have no issues but sooner or later something will happen.}

I've reinstall it in K drive, same thing.

 

I said I hope lockheed martin read this topic because at least they know how we can keep the Core 0 at 100% usage.

 

Really its the key of the smoothness.

 

How we or i can make it run on Core 0 at 100% all the way not at only first minutes !!!!!

Try to use affinity mask  =14.  It looks like some process is competing for your core 0 that has higher priority than P3D.  Something has to be very specific to your system.
