MSFS2024 performance drop after exiting to Menus and back

Featured Replies

Anyone else experiencing this? It happens with MSFS2024 only, whenever in VR I go back to the Menu to adjust a setting or even look at something whenever I return to the game the performance has dropped considerably. It's bad enough that I have to restart the whole game, which is frustrating.

I've cleared caches, reinstalled SteamVR, freshly reinstalled nVidia drivers etc but nothing seems to work. It's easy to point the finger at Asobo but as this isn't being widely reported I'm guessing it's something on my end, as far as I can recall it's been happening since around SU2 time and with SU3 & SU4 Beta currently.

I have the non-Steam version.  I have occasionally had this problem, but flipping to flat mode and back restores it for me.  I guess this doesn't work for you.

Yes. Since msfs2024 su3 and su4 also. 

It is reported at adobo. But if I recall correctly under either audio popping crackling OR non VR section.

@MarcG

There is in this thread a for me working work around. 

Turn off all non used audio drivers in Windows and only let the one you need active. Especially turn off (deactivate) realtek audio drivers .

And, important, don't use the in sim default device setting for audio in and output. 

Make sure you have set the correct device directly, so the name of the to use audio and mic device in the sound options of the sim. 

In my case this solves the menu fps drop issue AND the audio crackling and popping issue as well
