Very Low Frame Rates when undocking **SOLVED**

(1/3) > >>

torontorob:
I was notified that my trial version for CYVR had expired. That alone is a bit odd, as I paid for the program and have been using it for many years. I tried to install it, and all went well except that my frame rates have dropped to an unusable 1.7 FPS. No matter what airport I am at, the FPS is 1.7. If I completely uninstall CYVR from my computer, including add on Manager, my FPS goes back to normal. When I uninstall it, I also lose GSX level 2. I am using P3DV4.5, Windows 10, Nvidea 1080 graphics card.

Please let me know how to get both CYVR and GSX level 2 working again for P3DV4.5
Thanks

Rob

Nothing you are reporting should normally happen.

The software surely doesn't deactivate itself for no reason. If it has, it means something in your hardware or your drivers changed so significantly that it would be interpreted like an hardware change.

This, assuming with "my Trial version expired", you REALLY mean your are now in Trial mode. Just to be sure: "Trial mode" means the scenery runs perfectly fine for 5-6 minutes per session, and then buildings disappear. This is "Trial version". If you just lost the buildings, that's not a "Trial expired" ( the Trial never expires, it runs the scenery for un unlimited number of times, just for 5-6 minutes per session ), it's "software not running", which is usually caused by the antivirus mistakenly decided to block a software that, as you said, worked for years. So, first confirm what your situation really is: are you back in Trial, or the scenery simply disappeared ?

Uninstalling a scenery should not remove GSX, unless you replied "Do you want to remove the Addon manager ?", which you shouldn't if you want to just uninstall a scenery, without uninstalling anything else.

About the supposed loss of fps, something that low is unheard of, and it's clearly a problem with your settings. And, it's plain impossible that "just" installing CYVR would result in such a loss of fps *everywhere*, since nothing in the installer touches your settings, like graphic settings for example.

So, what really happened instead, must be something else entirely, that maybe *caused* the loss of activation, so you assumed this was caused by CYVR, but in fact the same problem that caused the loss of activation might have caused the low fps.

The first thing to try is:

- Install the latest video drivers and choose to do a customized "Clean" install when asked.

- Have the sim rebuild its shaders, by removing this folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d V4\Shaders

- Test the fps

- Reinstall CYVR and GSX.

- Don't touch anything, and report back.

As a reference, here's a screenshot of the fps I'm getting at CYVR with P3D 4.5

torontorob:
Thanks for your quick reply. I have performed the the install of updated video drivers "Clean" install, as well as removed the %localaoodata%\shaders file as per your instructions. The result is no different from before.

I am wondering if this might be problem. It appears I am running a trial version of GSX. When I Load KSFO and use a "default" plane, GSX works well and frame rates are fine. If I use my PMDG 737 aircraft, that is when I am getting the low frame rates.

I cannot seem to find how to activate the full version of the program, since I bought GSX, GSX Level 2 expansion, and CYVR, all for P3DV4. GSX was purchased from PC Aviator on Nov 29, 2013, and CYVR was purchased from PC aviator on Dec 1 1014.

Your help in getting these programs activated would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

The Trial version works exactly like the full version, just only on FSDT airports and Trial airports.

Wasn't this thread about CYVR ? Make the same test ( PMDG vs default ) at CYVR, please.

Select "Register Serial" from the Manager, and insert your key.

Be sure the firewall won't block the program, otherwise you'll likely get an "invalid key", which doesn't mean your key is not valid, just the activation server can't be contacted because your firewall is preventing our software to contact it so, just turn off the firewall during the activation.

This won't change anything to your fps, of course.
