First of all my apologies for what it seems to be like yet another FPS drop thread. I know the game launched 6 months ago but I was wondering if the issue has been fixed. I bought the game two days ago (one full day just to download this beast). Before this I had played the demo excellently, 60 fps constant on recommended settings. This time, with the full game, I had to fiddle everywhere and got nowhere. I get 60fps but with numerous drops to 30fps throughout races, making it a very nasty experience.
I had the settings on recommended but went ahead and changed a few to low while keeping others on high depending. This should still give a pretty optimum performance, I also capped the fps to 60 with my monitor refresh rate to 60hz. But still I get these annoying drops hindering my experience.
It’s a shame because I am absolutely loving the game but it’s a flawed experience when this happens. Even worse when the demo was running flawless at a constant 60 without a hitch.
Let me know if there’s anything more I can do, because I literally tried all fixes on the forums to no avail.
I will get solid 60fps, but only for a couple races. After that, performance is very inconsistent with hiccups and stuttering, showing all 4gb of Vram nearly maxed out until I restart the app.
so is it still a widespread issue? Have patched been rolling out recently or has development halted in these 7 months? Just asking in terms of getting my hopes up for a potential “official” fix.
What bothers me the most is how well the demo ran with recommended setting, and then this happens. Just feels odd.
There has been regular patches and stability for PC has improved from launch. I’m still getting the occasional crash to desktop and horrible fps after a few races as mentioned above.
Yes after posting that i went ahead and realised some patches had been released, even early this month, but no mention of performance improvement. I really hope they’ll sort this out. I tried switching my power mode and it barely made any difference, it’s such a great game that it’s a shame it’s being riddled with these issues. I really want to do more racing and get more invested but i really wish this could be a hell of a lot smoother. I bet that if I put everything on low i’d still have fps drops haha.
I’m so glad the Xbox doesn’t show FPS and we can’t tamper with Xbox hardware/software, I don’t know nor care what FPS I’m getting, its perfectly fine for me.

You are running a 7 year old CPU and wonder why you are having FPS drops? Yes it was a capable chip but it’s no longer the case. No matter how much you want it to be. I swapped out my 2500K 2 years ago as it was starting to show it’s age. Your GFX card also isn’t cutting edge. it’s a mainstream card. So while it will work it won’t blow anyone away.
You can tell me how good X game works, but that’s irrelevant. So your PC will struggle with this title which has all the fancy bells and whistles a first party tech demo piece will have.
Yes the software is also not very well optimised in some parts, but expecting it to run well on 7 year old hardware is frankly asking too much.
You can try running it lower and turning off things like AO, AA, etc to improve your FPS but don’t expect miracles on old hardware.
For your info once i upgraded my 2500K a lot of the little issues like stuttering vanished. I have no problems with this title at the current moment which would be hardware related. I have several which are the software itself, so some of your issues may be down to the software, but a lot of them should disappear once you upgrade that steam powered, coal fired rig of yours! lol
