SimRacing General: successor to Forza/Gran Turismo/Racing thread - Games

This is it, played through 1:30 ever since it was released, and it took me that much just to buy a fucking VOLVO 850R Oh yeah, about the performance. Runs like ass at lowest settings with 60fps target, but when i cap it to 30 it runs stable and at 1080p, but still low. And it's all with a Core i3 6100, GTX 750Ti, 16GB DDR4. CPU usage was somewhere around 70-60% while RAM was sitting at 9GB

[QUOTE=Rixxz2;51109659]Unfortunately the PC port seems to be, at least for now, an absolute mess. I haven't experienced any crashes or anything so the game seems to run just fine for me in that regard, however I get massive amounts of stuttering no matter which settings I use. Everything on Ultra with 8x MSAA? Stutter out the ass, Everything as low as possible in 720p? Stutter out the ass. Locking the framerate to 30Hz makes the stutter go away completely, with the drawback that it's, well, 30FPS, and at least with my system and monitor that comes with a considerable amount of input delay, to the point that it's practically unplayable. In 60Hz it's also really iffy framerate wise even with everything set to low, with random short drops down to 15FPS, which for whatever reason never happens when it's locked to 30. This is on the following machine: i5 4690 16GB RAM @ 2133MHz GTX 1070 Installed on a Samsung 850 SSD At the same time a friend of mine with a GTX 970 has it running just fine at 60Hz, and online there seems to be an almost equal amount of people saying that it runs fine as there are people wanting to rip Microsoft a new one, so it's one of those weird titles that prefer certain systems and hate others, regardless of power. I'll stay away for a while and see, hopefully they'll release some patches in the near future fixing these issues, otherwise I'll try to get a refund. Really disappointing considering how well Apex ran[/QUOTE] [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/forza/comments/54bt4p/fh3_stuttering_cause_found/]DRM is your problem, I believe [/url] Apparently it takes a huge toll on your CPU and is causing the stuttering.

The game keeps crashing on me from running out of RAM. I have 16 GB so I don't even know how that's fucking possible. From what I see the game never takes up more than 4GB at any one time. Don't fucking tell me they somehow gave me an x86 version.

Probably a stupid question but how do I go about preloading/installing FH3? Just installed W10 a half hour ago and this is all just overwhelming [editline]26th September 2016[/editline] Nevermind, I'm dumb, I didn't realize I had a Windows Store "app" on my new OS

Has anyone set up any sort of group in game?

[QUOTE=mchapra;51115372]Has anyone set up any sort of group in game?[/QUOTE] you can search for the club name "facepunch", or the club tag "FPFZ"

Balls, had my first crash It was right after upgrading the Festival to Level 2 and picking a free car, so the car isn't unlocked :v: [editline]27th September 2016[/editline] And it crashes almost constantly now, cunts

Bought the Mini from the auction house because it seems you have to get it through perks. And I wanted to get my crap Mr Bean livery online before someone makes a better one :v:

I can run the game 1080p Ultra/8x MSAA locked @ 30FPS (no frame drops) with my GTX970 and i5-2500k OCd @ 4.2, as soon as I remove the FPS lock I have to drop all MSAA and lower down to high/medium and even then the game struggles and sometimes drops below 30. What the hell is this?

nice game setup [URL="http://prodissertation.co.uk"]Dissertation help[/URL] [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Bot" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

What the hell is this?[/QUOTE] My guess is that the engine's not really meant to go above 30 (XBone version), so if you release it certain systems cause it to shit itself, I.E trashy port. I think the game's too fun to stay away from, so I found a compromise that works for me, at least. Mix between high and ultra settings, 2x MSAA and the framelock set to 36FPS. No input delay, and it runs silky smooth without any stutters at all. Far from optimal, but at least it's playable Also, the game recommended this livery to me: [t]http://i.imgur.com/EQEWeL3.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Rixxz2;51115856]For me the load spreads out evenly across my four cores automatically, though.

It still crashes like a motherfucker though. [editline]27th September 2016[/editline] There's just some really weird shit going on with how it manages its CPU workloads, the DRM isn't an issue because the decryption is using an algorithm that results in it happening faster than a 7500rpm HDD can supply the data.

Well, clean reinstalled graphics drivers to see if that'd stop the random crashes Now it's just ridiculous stuttering and bsods :suicide:

Man the R390 handles like a dream. I thought it'd be uncontrollable but it doesn't spin the wheels, it's planted as fuck and really quick.

ugh here's hoping that full tuned 5-star silvia can finish the whole Blackridge Spirit

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;51116314]ugh here's hoping that full tuned 5-star silvia can finish the whole Blackridge Spirit[/QUOTE] Have you finished the last day of the fastlane? How high is the PR requirement towards the end? I'm at like 570 or something atm, at five stars with some epic parts.

I quite like Horizon 3, but I must say that the barn finds are disappointing. They missed a great chance to tell a story about Australian car culture. And for the [sp]Holden Sandman[/sp], I cried because [sp]Warren didn't mention its better name and purpose - the Shaggin' Wagon :([/sp].

Fukken game crashed when I picked out my name, didn't feel like doing the intro again last night All of these character models look pretty silly though
