thanks for the info! ok so i now know it does it offline too. and you speak of malware..well i have had some viruses and some malwar lately. but i ran every virus program i have(malwarebytes and superantispyware along with ccleaner and defraggler) removed all the stuff found. i got into a pretty nasty one last week..do you think that it could still have an affect on my computer after its been cleaned? theres also a few other games i get random bad fps drops in.

Snook, malware is unlikely after all that.

Almost all games and simulations will have at least a few areas of FPS drop when running a computer system which is about the amount of performance which yours has.


Is the map that you use online with your Russian friend a large one?

Did you mean that you use the same map both online and offline, yet get the same FPS drop?

How long does it take for you to begin seeing an FPS drop? Is it immediately or only after a while?

Malware interference with IL-2 typically reveals itself when online. If you are getting exactly the same results in offline play as you do with online, then it probably is not malware which is causing the FPS drop. You could still have malware, maybe not the cause of FPS drop.


Millions of malware exist with thousands of characterictics, so one can never be too sure about being clean unless it is a new computer from the box or you have a system restore (complete reformatting). It is really hit and miss as to whether an antimalware program will remove the malware. I would say at this point without having enough facts that it is unlikely that malware is causing the FPS drop.

Is there ever a time in the last couple days when you have good FPS and smooth running of IL-2 and other games in areas of a map where it is crowded?


More information is needed.
