V5.2 very very very bad performance

[remcosol 39]

I am in shock, were i could run v5.1hf Orbx netherlands etc at an easy 50 FPS !!!!!!! ( no vc)  I am now struggeling to run at 30. Very dissapointed.

Have tried:

Other nvidia drivers

Reinstall

Other MB drivers.

Other settings inside p3d

It seems like the 10900k (5.2ghz) only runs at one core. Sometimes the other cores are joining in but mostly one core at 100 pct...... RTX 3070 runs at 65 pct.

 

I give up.

Porked install i bet.

First, deleted Shaders, then let prepar3d.cfg rebuild and make your settings new.

Also review the post on P3D forum:

It's not clear to me whether you did a full reinstall of V5. Either way, make sure you delete ShaderHLSL in your main P3D folder then reinstall the client. This has been the main issue for those of us who had severe performance issues.

Ya, you screwed up your install. Numerous topics on people reporting bad performance only to find its on their end. Read around the forum.

I installed Client - Scenery and Content deleted shader folder completely and Config, runs better than 5.1 and looks better at default no third party shaders but still intend a full install on a new drive later just testing.

I ve made a full install with all my addons recovered After . External view at lfrs airport with pmdg 737. High setings 117fps with cavok weather. First time i have high FPS since a long Time.

If he is using Envshade, a number of people are reporting problems with it.

thanks for the heads up.

 Thanks , I’ve been with p3d from the beginning so I know how to update and delete the required folders so I am in the dark about the reason why but I’ll take another look

ShaderHLSL is different to the normal shaders you delete. Bear that in mind!

I had similar issues and reverted back to v5.1 except for the v5.2 client. I am sure I only deleted the normal shaders folder and not “shadersHLSL.” This may well have been my issue. Where is the ShadersHLSL folder located? I think I may try updating content and scenery again.

Do a clean install.  It works fine on my end.

Your main P3D directory. Do that step before nuking your P3D install and starting from scratch.

Thanks, I’m gonna add one component at a time. First the content, then I’ll check the performance, and then scenery if that goes well. I assume I don’t have to reinstall the v5.2 client again? Also, delete ShadersHLSL after uninstalling v5.1 content?
