BAD LAGGING fs2020 after update 14/11/21

Featured Replies

Hello

Its been 6 months since i last ran Fs2020 and after launching the game, i had a 90gb update.. 

First, 2 hours ago, i was taking off and the Boeing was slow and i can see all details, move cameras are all perfect etc... even at 136 knots, the boeing seems like its going at 10 knots when looking out the window.....  

Then after 2 hours later, i turned my PC back on, now, after doing nothing, i start my PC and any flight i take now, it is lagging badly. even moving camera views are stuttering....

my have a top spec, i have never had issues with lagging as my pc setup is quite advance for this.

CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i9-10900K - 10-Core 3.70GHz, 5.30GHz Turbo - 20MB Cache + UHD Graphics, Ultimate OC Compatible [+83]

This was all fine before, why now?  is it the update?  

 

 

One day I started my sim, could have been after an update, it was really stuttering when moving and panning around. I noticed the new(?) OFF SCREEN TERRAIN PRE-CACHING option. Set that to max and it solved the problem immediately.

Also played around with RTSS to cap my FPS, see which FPS cap option provided the smoothest option. Noticed that when I played around with Scanline Sync on my machine, simply putting a number in capped the sim to 5FPS for some reason. So just in case you're using that.

My only suggestions.

If any of your system components are overclocked (it appears that they might be), that could be the problem.  MSFS 2020 doesn't seem to like overclocking.

Start simple. 6 months ago was more than one update ago. SU6 probably has no idea how to deal with leftover bits and pieces of data left over from pre SU5 installations. You last used the sim a couple of releases ago. You may have installed SU5 before SU6, but you never actually ran the sim under SU5. You went right through and installed SU6. When you fire up SU6, the cached data in you sim is from pre SU5. I'll bet it's tripping you up. 

The update is fine. I have a 10850K and a 2080Ti. It's all good. You should be fine with your setup.

Back to keeping it simple. If you use it, turn off and delete your rolling cache. I took a flight with it off prior to turning it back on and creating a new cache, but that's just me. Next, in your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache folder, delete content.xml and then delete everything in the SceneryIndexes subfolder.

See if that helps.

Solved. the render scalling percentage was all the way to 200...  once reduced, it was much better
