    yeah - the reflections are one of the biggist frame-eaters... On Low it is quite ok, but the high-setting needs 10 - 20FPS depending on the situation...

    On mine there are definitely only 2 options - "low" or "high". There's no "off" or anything else

    ah ok, nice to know. A off option is something i would like i'll admit. I'm playing r3e on a 5 year old laptop and it struggles i must say.

    I would like to have a medium setting implemented. :)

    The Vsync is adaptive so that every framerate is possible. The shadows doesn´t look much better now compared to earlier builds for me. The performance is poor. I can run cars on high relfexions and shadows with a better performance.

    I got my WD Passport today, just installed W10 and Steam and was just about to set up a steam folder on it.
    The folder is being created, but steam says "couldn't add a new library to steam".. (and I can't find the folder when I try to install a game)
    Am I missing something, I was able to set up a steam location on one of the other drivers on the pc for R3E, but not to this external one??

    You should be able to Heppsan. Make a folder on the drive called steam library. Then go into steam, go to preferences, download, and click add a library folder. That should allow you to install games there

    Nope, but I've might have found the problem.
    Found a thread saying you can't add a new folder while downloading a game, and I'm currently downloading R3E.. :)

    Edit: Yup, that was it. Works now! Phew!.. :D

    I tried R3E a bit on the new windows 10 and factory reset system last night, but sadly no increase in performance.
    I actually lost 2-3 fps on hockenheim after this?...:confused::(
    The only difference I made was that I didn't install steam on the OS driver this time around, should that make a difference in performance? (I never had games on the OS D before just steam)

    I checked the energy settings, and it was set to balanced.
    Changing this made it as it was before. :)

    Question still remains to the Devs though, why do I have such a difference in performance on Hockenheim?
