December 30, 20187 yr Hi. I downloaded and installed the V4,4 update and it seems to have completely messed things up for me. I use a laptop when I travel and - even although it runs every other game I have with NO issues - DCS and a few Steam games - this latest update is throwing me. I used to get 25-30 fps with reasonable medium and high graphic settings on P3d V4.3 so I can1t understand what's causing these issues. Even adjusting the graphics all to low and starting off with the default start up scenario I cannot get more than 3 fps. However if I pause the sim its shoots up to the 70 fps mark - un-pause and it immediately drops down to 2 fps again! I have updated all my drivers - graphic card etc. and still the same. I even uninstalled P3D and downloaded it again but still the same. I am running it with an i7 processor, an Nvidia 965 card and 16GB RAM. As I said, I have never had an issue like this before the upgrade. HELP :0(
December 31, 20187 yr Did you flush the scenery cache?

I’m familiar with.... prepar3d.cfg,,, scenery.cfg <maybe?!>,,,, I am aware of clearing the shaders cache, but that’s deleting the whole folder,,, So, in the end, I’m not sure of what the 4 files are. thx, m8ke Michael Simbro Intel i7-6700, EVGA GTX 1660ti 6gb, Nvidia 456.71 drivers, Win 10 Pro/64bit

January 1, 20197 yr Are you running overclocking software for your graphics card? If so, try disabling it.
January 1, 20197 yr Try Poppet's suggestion of deleting the Prepar3d.cfg, Shaders folder, and SceneryIndexes_x64 folder. I was getting very poor framerates when I first installed P3D v4 a week ago, but deleting those solved the problem. Just be warned that you will have to change the settings again (graphics/lighting/some keyboard commands etc). --- Click the link below for a short video. You will find additional Information in the comments below the video The SceneryIndexes_x64 folder, The Shaders folder and the Prepar3D.cfg file Edited January 1, 20197 yr by Poppet edited post to Include link Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
January 1, 20197 yr Author Thanks to all for the suggestions but despite doing everything I am still having the same issues......
