Since the december update I experience low fps at the Zhuhai circuit, about 30 fps on automatic video settings. On low settings it goes to 50 fps. This is in practice mode with 0 opponents. This is strange because I get at steady 60 fps on all other tracks I have tried such as Spa, Monza etc. Have raced on Zhuhai before without issues so it seems to be specific to this track after the update. Is anyone else having the same problem on this track? Specs: i5-4690 CPU GeForce GTX 970 16 GB ram Windows 10 64 bit
Hello guys, Same problem here, FPS are not an issue on most tracks but are quite low on some, such as Zhuhai main straight, Sepang main straight, the worse being Monza and Ningbo. Any idea why FPS can change so much from one track to another?
Good you found something, but now I also agree with the other tracks mentioned above, really bad optimized as well.
Is it on your bug tracker, that FPS are lower than before, or is it only on bugtracker that it is on certain tracks? Testet yesterday and have much problems and don't get my FPS in VR anymore like before
Cant speak for him but generally the performance loss doesnt seem to be connected to just the shadows. Ive had the shadows off before and after the update and still think i lost performance. Will have to go around a few more tracks to be sure tho
Yea, it might all be connected to the time of day progression, which is related to light casting (and in return shadows) as that had to get changed for ToD to work. Might wanna try setting time of day multi to 0 and using noon as time of day, in order to check if there's any difference.
Oh and one more thing you guys with performance issues might give a shot: Try lowering the shader quality setting.
I started a thread mentioning the same issue. I thought it was a general problem, not certain tracks. Turns out it was just those tracks; other tracks show normal framerate. Also, it`s nothing to do with shadows or any other graphics settings. I tried running it at the lowest possible settings and a low resolution, but still only got 15/17fps, down from my usual 55/60. I hope there`s a fix `soon`. Or even sooner...
In that case i probably already have them on lowest/off but ill see if setting the time multiplier to 0 helps later today
Thank you very much Tried 4 different tracks (just sitting in the pits) with time multiplier at 1 and 0. Having it at 0 gave me 20-30fps depending on the track which is basically what i had pre update as far as i remember. Time of day doesnt actually seem to make a difference tho for me so as long as its static im good regardless of where the suns at
My fps varies from track to track and in certain parts of the track but I generally get between 120 - 220 fps on all tracks I tested recently but Zhuhai I am only getting between 42 - 51 fps with all the same settings.
I never had Zhuhai prior, just got it and did one race so far but fps is only a third of what i get on other tracks
As a test, try lowering shader quality to see if that changes anything. Think that's Andi's theory right now for Zhuhai issues, something about shaders.
