Main Threading out at 40-50ms of Latency.

I am not a frame rate watcher. Normally, so long as the system is running well, I give the frames no mind. Well, yesterday, I noticed some stuttering, which isn’t normal for my rig. So, I went the the Debug- FPS and found that I was only getting around 17-23 FPS. I was Main Threading out at 40-50ms of latency.

Thinking that it might be the airplane, I changed to the ASOBO Baron and had the same FPS. So, I opened HWMonitor and looked at the numbers. Not a single core utilization had maxed at over 80%. The temps were all in the mid 50 degrees. I looked at the 3080 GPU and had the similar numbers, The GPU utilization was around 50-60%

This morning, I went and downloaded a 2024 version of “How to set up your MSFS for best performance.” I ran through it. Downloaded and installed latest Nvidia driver, went through setting up Control Panel tweaks, and did some other tweaks, that were suggested.

When I loaded up MSFS my FPS were now in the lower teens. :eek:

Before I do something else and lower them more, I thought I would see if any of you experts have suggestions or ideas.

I have a 1000MB internet connection running through an ASUS 5GHz router. I have been using this router for at least a year. So, I don’t think it is a download issue. I have the CPU running at about 5GHz using the normal auto boast from ASUS’s ROG Bios app. I have been doing this since I built the computer three or four months ago.

When I first built the computer, I flew the Carenado PC-12 around the NYC area. I was getting upwards to 50-70 FPS. So, something mustn’t be copcetict.
 
I’ve seen a weird bug in MSFS where I’ll get frame rate drops like that. I have a VR headset, and I tried switching VR on and back off again, and suddenly FPS were back in the 60s. I’ve had this happen a couple of times since — flipping to VR seems to reset whatever’s gone wonky in MSFS.

Even if you don’t have a VR headset, it might be worth trying the “toggle VR” command (which will give you a “no headset detected” error) to see if that does anything for you.
 
I don't think the latency issue is specific to MSFS. I've seen a lot of complaints about this lately and it seems more windows related. I've seen bad latency problems while playing Red Dead 2 lately that shows it's ugly head if I open a browser while having the game running. Keyboard response slows to a crawl to a point where I need to stop typing. I think we are getting some really bad windows updates lately and they are not helping Windows Mixed Reality either.

You were spot on. Today, it is working just fine. Go figure?

I got rid of WMR when I bought the Quest 3. Thank goodness.
