    Can somebody help explain this and give suggestions on any settings I might be able to tweak?

    Just started using R3E and while my framerate is consistently fine with a full field of cars, this happens, typically always near pit in or out. It lasts for about 10-15 seconds and then it's back to normal, but makes playing online or with a full field impossible.

    GTX960 w/ 4GB RAM, 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM, AMD Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 Ghz)

    It's an older CPU, but it still holds its own.

    So I thing that was a problem with R3R and we must wait till some of Beta testers or developer write here is this a problem with game or PC spec.I find one more problem.I do everything but i still have only 30/35 when watch my replay but in Spa or Silverstone FPS droop to 25 ?? I also run MSI AB and CPU usage is 80/90% and GPU is only 50%.Strange

    When you say 'full field', what exactly do you mean? Some tracks like Spa allow 99 opponents. Others allow for a total of ~40.

    If you are trying to use a lot of AI, it is a possibility that your PC cant handle it because it takes a lot of horsepower to run really big fields.

    Do you recall which tracks you were having the issue on?

    Well, by "full field", I mean 24 cars with DTM and the clip above was 19 Audi's.

    Zolder was the first track I tried with the full DTM field and it was always on the front straight where the slowness occurred. Here at Sonoma, it was also on the front straight, just past the pits, usually.

    As for my PC's power, I could definitely see your point if it was running like above consistently, but the majority of the race is fine. As you can see, both before and after this huge stutter, the FPS is no problem. The crappy encoding I'm using on the stream is likely making the normal framerate a little worse than it normally is.

    I just tried another 24 car field at Hockenheim and that one was fine for me, making it the first track I have not had an issue with yet.

    It's certainly worth a try. As a matter of fact, I added an SSD to my system and moved R3E onto it right about the same exact time I started playing the game, so I can't say I did or did not have this problem before that.

    As I said i have massive drops in SPA or Silverstone but I setup a max 26 drivers.When I back from work i try disabling prefetch because i use SSD and let know.

    So far, so good. Did 25 minutes at Sonoma with the DTM grid and didn't have a repeat earlier today. Will keep trying as time allows.

    Ok,,,, Well,, I was enjoying 25 laps of pure racing @ Bathurst,, just really happy the way I raced with the AI,, but then..... In the last lap, at the Conrod Straight I had a massive frame drop, it was totally undriveable, for about 5 secnds, my car end it up crashing,, I checked the replay, but you can only see my car weaving then crashing, but there was no frame drops.

    Has anyone experienced this issue?

    My workstation is not a gaming laptop (as you can see in my signature), playing almost everything at low, only shaders, textures and some effects at high.

    BTW, Why replays have less than half of my actual frames? Live racing I have 80 to 90 fps compare to my replay I have from 30 to 40 o_O

    Hi everyone. I don't know if I'm suffering the same issues but I'm having a loss of fps in cockpit view and when looking back, till 40 fps +/- and some stuttering in some corners with 20 cars and graphics settings in auto. I tried to lower to minimum but still can't get smooth fps in that situations.

    I tried deactivating vsync, activating it in nvidia control panel everything I saw on the web but I can't make it running smooth.

    My graphic card is a gtx960

    I don't know what else to do. I'll keep looking for a solution and Ill share any news.

    I encountered those sudden massive drops too, usually only when driving races longer than 30 minutes, with similar pc specs to boban666. I don´t know if it was a coincidence or if it actually has to do with replays, but I deactivated replays and haven´t encountered the problem since.
    Sucks to not be able to study replays though...
