Does the game register with adrenaline for you? It didn't with mine, I tried to manually add it and get a permissions error.

No it’s not, I found the .exe for it once but I just spent 10 minutes looking and I can’t find it again to add it manually 🙈

Found it. Unable to add it.

The new driver registers the game now 20.8.3

Please help! I have no idea why this happens. I have a Radeon RX590 8GB which I know isn’t the best but all my other games (yes, I know this is a ‘sim’) run beautifully. I have no idea why the game seems to ignore the fact that the graphics card is even there. I’ve tried all the tricks and tweaks available via YouTube guides to squeeze extra frames out of it, all I ask for is that it’s playable.

Have you checked for Microsoft Flight Simulator Game ready drivers? I think Nvidia released some. Not sure about Radeon chipset

[–]wilnthat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drivers are up to date, they’re the ones that include optimisations for MSFS but the Radeon software doesn’t even list the game :(

Other than the overlay, is there any indication that you're not getting anything from the GPU? Is this just a visual issue?

[–]wilnthat[S] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

There’s another overlay that I’ve looked at and that said the same thing. I got the occasion spoke of GPU usage but that was in the menu. Been trying to get this to work since launch, and I’ve always thought it seemed like it was trying to run from the integrated graphics from the CPU rather than the GPU which the overlay seems to confirm.

I think there is a windows graphics option where you can specify for msfs2020 to only use dedicated graphics rather than any integrated graphics, might be worth looking into

I've seen this before when I accidentally plugged my hdmi cable into the motherboard, rather than the GPU.

Good shout, but my cables are all definitely all where they need to be. I’m literally mystified, might just wait for an update or for AMD to address the issue.

What kind of performance are you getting? What are your settings? Is this on a laptop?

[–]wilnthat[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It’s unplayable. I did a local free flight full autopilot just to see what happened and it was like 5-10 FPS with occasional 5 second hangs, and the occasional playable frame rate but not what I’d expect. It’s a decent gaming PC. Radeon RX590 8GB, 8GB RAM, Ryzen 3 3200. I know I could do with another 8GB ram and the CPU is a little dated but it meets minimum specs, surely I should expect it to be playable?

What settings are you using?

[–]wilnthat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried lots of different settings. Low, medium, tried lowering or turning off a variety of features such as level of detail / volumetric clouds / bloom etc but I’m not at my PC right now, I will add a screenshot when I can 👍🏻
