An automated stutter fix. Flightsim.to

It clears your cache easily instead of multiple hard to remember steps! The video admits "results vary".

This is the kind of tool that might cause the Official forum monitors to reach for their flogging rod.

My sense is that it's important to clear the DX caches in Safe Mode after uninstalling the current GPU driver, because the DX shaders are linked to particular driver versions.  This is why when don't do that you will see lots of DXCache entries repopulate the folder when you delete them.   That doesn't happen if you follow the above described sequence.  This is my practice when updating/reinstall GPU drivers and that is the only time I would do this procedure.

Now that I think about it may not need to use Safe Mode just can delete GPU driver, reboot and delete DXcache entries.

I guess he meant the nVIDIA shader cache files rather than the DX shader cache files. Only for the nVIDIA cache you need to use safe mode to be able to delete them 100%. Which I never do, those around 14 files that can not be deleted when not using safe mode never did any harm in my case...

I normally just use windows disk cleaner as well as Ccleaner to remove any temporary files that might have left around. In fact as a habit - I run Ccleaner every time before I shut my PC down.

It did me a world of good. The lastest Pimax Play driver was crashing my sim. After clicking once to clear all the cache, MSFS now works perfectly with the that latest driver. Before, it only worked with an earlier driver, now it works with the latest version. A very stable 47 to 52 fps with my 4070 and 5800X3D when using my Crystal Light VR headset. (The latest version of Pimax Play has an upscaler which makes those high framerates possible).

v1.33.01 is the latest. It used to cause CTD's before I cleared out the cache (takes one click with the handy app). Latest is always on the Manuals section of Pimax.com. Pimax Play itself will tell you that you have the latest when actually you do not. This is a known bug and Pimax says to get new drivers direct from the website, not from PP.

I use DDU when I change driver, then all the cache files will be deleted as well.

Simply type disk cleanup into the Windows search, run the disk cleanup tool for your C:\ drive and select only DX Shader Cache

I now downloaded the tool and I am not really sure what else this tool deletes except the nVIDIA and DX shaders you can easily delete yourself. It supposedly also deletes the files inside the cache/0 folder on C:\, but what I do not get is that this exact same folder with the exact same content is present twice on my rig, once in C:\ AppData and once in the content folder where I have my sim installed on my D:\ drive. The content of both folders remain untouched after running the .bat file, although the file itself says it will delete shaders in this folder on C:\

So rather confusing. It seems that this tool only properly works if you use the absolute default installation path for MS Store version.
