Current known issues and workarounds


Broken 3 Weather Preset Artifacting#

The “Broken 3” weather preset exhibits visual artifacting in VR.


Workaround
: Use a different weather preset.

Storage#

You
MUST
install DCS on an SSD (solid state) instead of an HDD (spinning disk). The base game is 160GB, a typical large install is around 700GB and a complete install is over 1TB. A dedicated 1TB or 2TB high performance SSD is recommended.

Tom’s Hardware: Best SSDs

An SSD is
absolutely essential
. When installed on a spinning disk, DCS can take over 20 minutes to load into a mission and may crash during loading or during gameplay.

CPU#

The best CPUs for DCS World are AMD X3D series CPUs such as:


AMD 9800X3D

AMD 7800X3D

AMD 7600X3D

AMD 5800X3D

AMD 5700X3D

AMD 5600X3D


However, any fast gaming-oriented CPU with at least 4 cores is fine.

DCS World 2.9

Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) 2.9 is a free-to-play digital battlefield game.

Our dream is to offer the most authentic and realistic simulation of military aircraft, tanks, ground vehicles and ships possible. This free download includes a vast mission area of the Caucasus region and Black Sea that encompasses much of Georgia. It also includes a flyable Russian Sukhoi Su-25T ground attack aircraft and the famous WWII North American TF-51D fighter. An additional more than two dozen aircraft are available for purchase.

The download comes with one of the most powerful mission planners ever designed, full network play and more than 156 AI weapons systems, 105 ground vehicles and trains, 50 air defense systems, 19 ships and 84 AI aircraft permitting you to plan and play highly sophisticated missions. DCS World is massively extensible through additional DCS modules as well as user-made add-ons and mods which you can purchase and download from our site.





DCS World 2.9 Dedicated Server (modular installer)


"DCS World Dedicated Server" modular installer installs a special DCS World version which is intended to work as a dedicated server and doesn't contain textures and sounds. Installed server takes at least approx. 20 GB on HDD up to 170 GB depending on the installed terrain modules, and works as a full-functional server controlled only by WEB (i.e. without any GUI features). This version allows the installation of any set of the available terrain and WWII units module, works without 3D graphics and sounds.

Terrain and WWII units doesn't asked activations when launched in server mode without rendering, server owner shouldn't buy them.


NOTE: these "free" terrains can work ONLY on dedicated server without rendering. You can't use them on the client.



Installation


Run installer, choose separate folder and install it as usual. Note: if you have previous server version based on DCS World client, uninstall it before. Installer will install DCS World base as well as all terrains and WWII units modules.

Write folder for dedicated server is: Saved Games\DCS.server

You
don't need
to add command line keys (--se











are the requirements to run the game real?

so i saw the requirements at the steam page and i just met the ram requirement and cpu requirement but then i saw requirements outside of steam and i met all of these requirements so i wanted to know if it is truly a cyberpunk 2077 requirement game
