Regular stutters every minute.

[ols500]

Hi I have decent FPS in P3D, but get regular stutters every minute. I monitor my FPS on MSI afterburner and literally every 60 seconds my FPS drops and I get a freeze in the sim. I have gone back to no overclock, but still, get stutters, any ideas?

If you need any details please ask, Ollie.

Are you using FSUIPC and autosave?

[ols500]

I'm using FSUIPC but already disabled autosaves as I know it causes stutters.

[pete_auau]

got the latest  version  of  fsuipc

[ols500]

No, I'll go an update FSUIPC, maybe it will remove the stutter.

[speedyTC]

Highly unlikely it is FSUIPC. Stutters are a pain to track down. Do you notice any disk thrashing (or unusually high disk activity) when you experience them?

[ols500]

How could I take high disk activity? Through task manager?

Through the Task Manager, yes, (or even Process Explorer) but also by simply eyeballing the disk activity LED. On my machine I notice the LED being very active during stutters. I have yet to track down what is causing it but they seem to be tied together. More than likely system processes going on in the background. It could be a plethora of things including AV activity (although I have excluded my FS drive and other relevant folders). It also could be that since I have a lot of scenery loaded and accessed from an external drive (to save space on my FSX dedicated SSD) that could be causing pauses and therefore stuttering. I really do not know.  It will take a lot of time and effort to try tracking it down, neither of which I have the luxury of at the present time due to RL commitments.

This one may be off from your situation but I traced my stutters down to a conflict between my windows 10 sound drivers and my amd rtx sound drivers

[speedyTC]

Thought of that and uninstalled the nVidia sound drivers (just the default Realteks now) but still no joy. It's a complex issue that cropped up about a month and a half ago with no real changes in my FSX setup.

How many monitors do you have and how are they connected, DVD-I HDMI DP ?

[ols500]

Ok, I think I will just re-install P3D as it seems easier to do than tracking down the actual cause.

Try deleting the shaders first. Let the sim rebuild them. Maybe even the cfg. file

Last shot before you go through the process of un-install / re-install?

deleting the shaders

Sound advice. I did that recently and the FPS improved.

[ols500]

Already tried that, just gonna spend my afternoon re-installing 😞 I appreciate the help anyway.
