    Last time i checked, the replay folder on my harddrive contained a whopping 12GB of replays from R3E.

    Is there a way to permanently disable them and keep my SSD clean?

    There is in fact a way to do so!
    · Right Click on the game in the Steam Library.

    · Click "Properties"

    · Click "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..."

    · Enter -disableReplay in the text field.

    · Click OK.

    · Start the game.

    When driving longer races with replays enable, after one hour I get a hugh lag. FPS drops to 1 or so for about 10 seconds.
    I think when long races where new to R3E this was a known issue. Is disableing replays still the only solution to this ?

    Not sure. Try disabling them and see if the issue goes away but as far as I know replays should have been fixed so they don't eat all the memory.

    I didn't notice freeze while playing a recent 2 hours race (but I have 16 GB RAM so there's enough space). But the replay is running at low FPS. Someone said me all his replays longer than 1 hour have this issue and another person that uploaded his 2 hours replay (same race as me) has same issue, known bug @Kitsune Magyar ?

    When I disable replays the issue is gone.
    I think there was a fix in one of the last updates, so I am a bit irritated that I still get that massive fps drop after 1 hour.
    System specs:
    Intel I7 3770 3,4GHZ
    8GB Ram
    Geforce GTX 770 2GB

    Yeah, certainly worth investigating. I'll add this to the bug tracker, hopefully we'll have some time over to look at it soon.

    Can you provide some details? What track, AI (and how many?), what car class etc. etc.? Ran three different tests and if anything I saw an increase in performance.

    Tried to replicate this again today, let the game run for six hours. No performance issues. Not really sure how to get to the bottom of this, tried this on two different computers. No issues on either. A separate replay related bug was found and fixed though, it might alleviate the issues you're experiencing. In the meantime, I suppose running with replays disabled will have to do.

    You can add several startup arguments. They need to be separated by spaces. So in your case for example:

    "-vr 2.0 -disableReplay"

    I have been " enjoying " the disabled replays for quite a while in VR, but today i had to re-enable them again because of the FFB dropout bug of my Accuforce, which can only be fixed by using the instant replay function.

    So now R3E is eating away my harddrive space again.

    Wait, so activating instant replay cures the FFB loss issue? What wheel are you using?
    And have you tried the FFB Reset function? You can bind a button for that in the controller setup and the only way I can see the instant replay changing anything would be that it forces a FFB reset, which that button should also do.

    By simply deleting "-disableReplay" from your launch options again.
