Running windows 10 on an AMD FX-8360 on a Gigabyte 970A DS3p motherboard, 16gb DDR3 ram an a NVidia GTX 1060 6GB.
Seldom obtaining frame rates over the teens and often sub 10. Mostly unusable :-( Very disappointed.
Or you are running the game on the built in graphics card instead of the GTX1060. Either right click the condor shortcut and select the 1060 or set it as default in the nvidia control panel

Hi, thank you for your input, however the motherboard doesn't have on board graphics.

Hi, Thanks for your input. I've already explored that as a problem and have un-installed NVidia Experience, that made no difference.

Does it show NVIDIA GForce GTX1060 on the first page of Condor SETUP?

Hi, Yes it does.
Have you tried "Fullscreen emulation" or "Windowed" instead of "Fullscreen" ?

Make sure that no other process uses the GPU :
Before Condor runs, open the Task manager, switch to the "Performance" tab and click on GPU at the bottom, it should be almost idle
When Condor is running, switch to the "Processes" tab (leftmost) and click on the "GPU" column (or whatever it is called, 5th from left, I'm not sure of the names as I don't have an English version of W10)

Another possibility is CPU and/or GPU overheating. Do you play any other games?

And I hate to bring it up as it's almost a troubleshooting cliché, but... are your video card drivers up-to-date?

What have you got set to run in your scheduler?

Your PC could be running a virus scan or a scan of some other sort whilst you're flying which could cause issues.

Add your Condor 2 directory to the 'safe' pot in your anttivirus settings. To test if your antivirus is the issue disconnect from the internet and stop your antivirus from running.

To me it sounds like you've a duff driver, chipset, GPU, DX etc or there is another process running that is using up all of your resources.

Use a program like CPU-Z or similar to check your CPU speed is running at what it should be and all other clock speeds are as expected.

What do other games run like on your system? what graphics settings are these at?

Whilst it is worth trying the smoothest of all of those for me is Fullscreen.

Hi, I executed this suggestion and only Condor, plus of course the task manager, were using the GPU.

HI, Thanks for your suggestions. I've checked both CPU and GPU temp's and both are well within limits.
I do play a couple of other games, Tomb Raider, runs really well on quite high settings. Typically over 50 fps.

I also have Microsoft Flight Sim X which plays well on high settings.
Drivers are the latest "Game Version"

Cheers.

If you can run FS2020 I can't imagine why Condor2 wouldn't run great too, that is really strange.

In the Condor2\Logs folder there should be a logfile.txt file, post that as it may contain some clues.

I have a strange problem under windows 10.

If anyone had a same issue before, please help.

When I use Teamspeak.
1. I am starting teamspeak and connecting to a channel
2. Starting Condor 2 > Free flight > Start flight
3. When I entered to the flight, my headset microphone muted, and also have no sound from Condor 2.

I have tried so many things.

1. Updated sound drivers.
2. Started teamspeak normaly.
3. Started teamspeak as Administrator.
4. changed setting in control panel > hardware and sound.
5. Tried to install older version of Teamspeak.
6. Tried to start Condor 2 in window mode.

I attaching some image from my sound settings below.
I have been trying since 2-3 days now, and I am running out of options.
:(
This is a late reply but I believe I may know the answer so thought it worth sharing in case others have it. I think this is due to Win 10 UAC. I got around this by finding the *.exe file for TS or Discord in my case. Create a shortcut. Right click on the shortcut, click the advanced button and select to run as administrator. Put the shortcut wherever you wish it to be or pin to task bar. This solved my issue which was identical but with Discord.
