I’m not talking about the updates themselves but rather the computer “checking for updates” or any notifications, funny little toolbars polling…..etc.

Finally got to try DX11 this afternoon.  I see the stutters being mentioned, which I don't get in DX9.

So the fix is for AH to use DX12 for vr?

If it's only a dx11 thingy it's only affecting vr users right?

Can't answer that. Just sharing my observations.  I'd highly suggest guys having the issue to try offline

I could be wrong, but Steam users are DX11 using VR or not, I believe.  There is only a aceshighsteam.exe and no other choice and it has to support VR per the Steam description.

From what I've read here it is not just a VR issue. It is a DX11 issue whether or not you are using VR.

Yes but why use dx11 if dx9 works and you don't have vr?

I think steam uses dx11 automatically

I get fixated because I like finding fixes. Did it for many years.

I don't know why anyone would use steam instead of direct. It's kind of just a middleman.

DX12 is on all new Windows systems now.  I have DX12. But the DX11 exe file was made with DX11 info. It will run on a newer DX version, but limited to what it was made for. DX11 is probably not fully utilizing DX12 systems.

A big question now, that I don't seem to get answers for is,... do people using VR see the same thing we see?

The reason I'm looking into nvidia settings is because there may be a workaround, not so much a "fix". But there is infinite combos that makes it hard to find when ya gotta fly 30 min for each change to test it. I do know, some setting I makes minimizes the issue from 2 sec, to 250ms or less. So I know it's there.

The workaround now is using DX9, until it's discovered.

Last I looked there were only like 24 steam users.

No VR. I have the dx11 freezies... I've tried the dx9 - no freezies, but... there are some weirdish graphical effects that outweigh the microfreezies so I still use the dx11 version.

The weirdish effects?  How water and clouds are displayed, plus alt tabbing in/out creates a major freeze where dx11 doesn't.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Only common thread I have for this is it only seems to happen, at least for me, with AH. Irregular momentary derps which often times, but not every time, result in my stick mappings up and disappearing. In IL2 and MSFS I don't have this issue. Can't say about DCS as I don't play it. If it's happening on the desktop, I'm not noticing it. Because of this I'd focus on AH. Something in the game is calling for something that probably isn't there anymore from 267 updates ago in the rest of the internet. That's my take on it anyway.

I’m getting the same exact freezes in IL2 offline single player.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Same. Offline and on various online servers. I don't use VR.
Last time I played AH (Friday, I think) the freezes were markedly longer for me than they previously were before. I did happen to apply an Nvidia patch earlier in the previous week. I'm gonna go the DX9 route I guess.

This is what I stated in the beginning and why I think it's between Nvidia and DX, NOT the game. I've seen these remarks on other game boards and reddit.

Mine did the same at the same time era,.. but again, I got it down to a glitch in Nvidia control panel.
