Found in a video in game folders :P

It's part of the incoming DLC pack with Nords and it seems ready to go :P

I haven't had much time to play the last couple of weeks. Finally got on last night and had the same stuttering issue I had when I got my new PC but eventually resolved, mostly with VSync. I tried everything I could think of from turning Vsync on and off. Turning it on and off in NVidia Control Panel and Inspector. Various frame rate caps in CP and Inspector and in game, turned settings down (I have an i74790k and a GTX970 so that shouldn't be an issue) all to no avail. The first hairpin at Mugello for example I lose what seems like 10-20 frames while turning, then it magically fixes itself when I exit the corner. Two right handers at Magione before the back stretch stutter badly. Basically any 2nd or 3rd gear corner it's just horrible Anyone have any ideas? It ran beautifully before the update and I didn't change a thing. And all this happens while the Render Stats show a solid 60fps.:banghead::banghead:
 
I've had this game in my Steam library for nearly 3 months now and I had never even tried it, I can't even remember how I got this game. Since I haven't used my G27 in ages I figured this would be a great game to get me back into how fun it is to play racing games with a wheel.

Wow, this game is really impressive. It has brilliant physics, you can feel the cars very well, each one sounds different and runs different, its not like say Gran Turismo where cars all feel planted and pretty much the same. This makes the limited content at the moment very satisfying and engaging, it reminds me a lot of LFS with its simplicity yet high quality and easy to access content, oh and the great tire model.

I had a blast taking the Alfa Romeo Giulietta up that Italian mountain road, quite a drive I must say, good fun though! I decided to then try some mods, the modding community for this game seems to be quite active at the minute, it reminds me of the rfactor 1 modding scene, just on a game that isn't outdated. I downloaded Shomaru Pass instantly, great fun for just blasting from one end to the other, I did it in the Lotus Exige, good fun.

Online was also good fun, despite being a big cluster of drivers with lets say interesting skill levels I had some good fun with it, this game is quite addictive, I don't know why but I keep going back to it. I went to a track day on Monza and had a good time there, I wasn't very fast being inexperienced with the wheel but it was fun setting laps in a very lively enviroment, lots of cars on the track and mostly clean driving made the track day aspect quite immersive. Its well optimised too, according to Fraps I was getting nearly 200 FPS throughout, though I'm not sure if the actual game is limited.

The RUF seems popular at the minute, I have yet to try it.

Who then later caused this...

I was trying to get some good laps in with the other guy driving a 458, and as we drive around the long banked corner this lunatic in the Cobra instantly darts onto my line as I try to pass him, as a result I crash into him and spin out, he managed to also take out an RUF and somebody else who came speeding down in a Huayra.

He got kicked. :lol:

I had it worse than before. Just disabled post processing and went from 80 fps to 170 180. So now even if it drops a bit I almost non feel it.

I've sort of got it working. My monitor is only 60 fps. I disabled VSync, and let the framerate float and it seems to be ok although I don't think it looks as good as it did before the update.
 
Is there a way to disable the stupid silly damage feature on this game? It just ruins the whole thing for me...

I believe ctrl D will cycle the damage indicator on and off. or you can turn damage off.

That!! Where on the menu can I turn it off?
it's not so much the indicator but the whole model itself that's killing me... The smallest bump will shatter a windshield made of lexan which in reality does not shatter, or take out a rear wing pylon, or do something stupid like that...

It's under realism settings I think. (The menu with the driving aids, etc.) Set it to 0.
 
I've just had my first go with my new TH8A shifter. Went easy for the first run in an Abarth 500 then went straight for the F40 S3. Needless to say I ran out of fuel. :drool::drool:

Are you using beta Nvidia drivers? If you are, I wonder if they are the problem? I'm still learning about everything so I'm probably wrong in all of my uneducated guesses.

I opted in for the beta drivers a coupe of days ago, and last night AC wouldn't even launch. As soon as I clicked to boot up the game, it would crash with no error logs, tried everything possible I could think of, nothing fixed it. Went and played Ryse instead, which would freeze, stutter and drop over 50% frame rate whenever I panned the camera. Then after about an hour, I started to get some major artifacting. I closed the game and went to see what it was about, in the background DirectX something or other had crashed which also messed with the OC'ing software, disabling fan control and temp limits, my VRAM jumped from 84 up to 115 celcius when Directx crashed.

Strange thing is, AC is booting up just fine today and I haven't done a thing to any settings or rebooted the PC, all that's happened is the Directx drivers recovered themselves. I'll try Ryse again later and see if the extreme stutter and fps drops have gone. If they have I'll opt back out of the beta drivers, everything was pretty sweet before then.

I've come to the conclusion lately that everything to do with PC's is trial and error and nobody really knows what to do when issues arise, they just throw darts and whatever it hits that's what they try:lol:. I scour forums and you can find dozens of different answers to the same issue:banghead:

Make a long story short, I ran the benchmark test yesterday for the first time and everything was wonderful except my 3d graphics benchmark which was under 6k, when it should be 9k+. Tried some different things with slight improvement. But no, I hadn't downloaded that beta update, so I did download the update, putzed around with a few more things, re-ran the test and scored over 9000 in the 3d test:boggled:. I went too fast in making changes because I'm not sure what I did that worked. From now on I'm going to keep a changelog in a word file or something.💡

So the game looks good now again with VSync, like it did before the game update with the old driver, no complaints there, and replays are good as well. But when I watch Youtube videos I still get tearing and other issues and I don't know if that's my card or just the way things are on Youtube. For example, in this video there is a brief segment from about 2:24 to 2:28 where there's a wide shot of the car moving past the grandstand. I can play this over and over. Sometimes it's absolutely perfect, sometimes it stutters badly, sometimes I get tearing on the screen. I know it's not part of the video itself because it's different every time so it must be a render issue, I think? What I don't know is, is this normal watching a Youtube video, or is there something wrong with my card that's causing this issue? Or is it my settings. My NVidia Control Panel setting for Chrome is on default by the way.

 
Once you have more experience this issues start to disappear, i was in your exact same position 7 years ago.

my advises to minimize problems are to use different anti virus programs until you find one that don't gives you problems, it's very rare but sometimes a program or game runs badly or don't run at all and the culprit is the antivirus. always minimize your web browser before running a game because the video card might not raise it core/mem clock, flash player suck bad nothing you can do about it, but it's worth mentioning.

Also when running into problems run MSI afterburner and task manager to know what your GPU, CPU, MEM are doing, if the game runs bad or stutters you can check the GPU utilization % or the cards clock easily. Also if you are doing nothing and the card is stuck at 99% GPU utilization and/or the CPU is abnormally busy then you should check for bitcoin mining malware.

cheers!
 
Sounds interesting.

I picked up AC in the Steam sale and had my first go today. Setting up my wheel controls took forever but after that I really enjoyed it 👍 It's a challenge and that's what I like from my racing games.
