Hi there,

Since Nvidia filters aren't working on my system anymore I decided to install reshade last night. Unfortunately, my sim performance has taken a serious hit since then. I used to get FPS in the low 100's and smooth, but now I struggle to get to 50 and even then it's very choppy.

I tried uninstalling reshade and nvidia drivers without success. I fired up FS2020 just to see if my system has bigger issues but that sim is still smooth as always (with same FPS around 100). Did my 2024 install get corrupted?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Pete

If you go to your MSFS24 install folder and search by date modified, do you see a file at the top, it's normally called something like dxgi.dll? (Reshade should have put the dll file in the same folder that contains your flightsimulator24.exe file). If reshade is still active there will probably also be a text file or a folder called reshade.ini, or the folder will be named after whatever reshade preset you had installed. If you can see the   .dll file I'm on about, move it out of the folder and see if it fixes the performance issue. 

Thanks, mate. It turned out that something must have gotten corrupted with the sim, and I finally had to do a full uninstall and clean install of 2024. The good part is that 2024 is running smoother than ever now, even after reinstalling most add-ons!

Thanks again,

Pete

 

I think I’m going to try that…

They will work but require following a certain sequence to install GFE.  I really like them and the fine control that they offer over all aspects of the image.  I use both the Details and Bright/Contrast to fine tune the image in both 2020 and 2024.  

Hi Noel,

could you elaborate a bit more on how? I once had them working and liked them a lot too. However, since about two driver versions I can’t get them to work anymore. 

i used DDU to see if it made a difference but unfortunately it didn’t. 

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pete,

Do you use NV DLSS Frame Gen?

Yep.

I'll check but I'm pretty sure this will not work for you then.  I get a hard lock up whenever I enable FG but since upgrading to this CPU I'm able to sustain 50FPS-native which is my preference over FG.  And that because I am constantly interacting w/ a 2nd screen to avoid the judder when returning back to the main display.  Plus there are other artifacts that are show stoppers for me.  It's why I upgraded my CPU in order to do this. 

Not long ago I did FG and GFE filters which may have to do w/ the specific driver I'm using, but not sure, so will test at the end of this flight to see if turning filters off stops the hard lock when FG is enabled.  It may IOW be a case of finding the right driver after you've installed GFE.  This is something I don't need to do as I'm happier w/o FG.

Here's a link to a copy of GFE that I have installed.  I always uninstall all NV apps installed by the GPU driver first, then do Safe Mode DDU, the install NV GPU driver 572.60 which is what I'm using currently.  Don't install the NV APP, just complete the install and then install the GFE app--just be sure to click on the DOWNLOAD link past the ads for other apps:

Are you able to get the filters to work using the Nvidia App?   I really miss having them....

I don't use the NV app, just the GFE filters.

OK...not sure which driver gave me the App instead of GFE.  I guess I would have to roll back....

Also, this old driver from 2/2024 contains GFE as an optional install.  I used it once to get back to GFE:
