Performance issues

I have noticed that there are a number of problems with the game in terms of performance on some tracks and settings:

  • No matter what settings I put the game to, there seems to be stuttering (freezes), especially on Yas Marina with 16 cars. This seems to worsen over time.

  • As mentioned in “known issues”, I get “Low Memory detected” after playing the game for a while without quitting.

  • There is some noticeable pop-in when going fast on some tracks, such as Spa.

  • The “Dynamic Optimization” being set to “On” (so everything is automatic) will always result in below-30 FPS performance, stuttering and track textures not loading properly.

  • Playing the game with all settings maxed out at 1920x1080 compared to lowest settings at 1920x1080 seems to make very little visual and performance difference, at least for me. I get between 35 - 60 FPS depending on track conditions (hard to tell without FPS counter). One thing’s for certain: max settings performance & stability is much better than “dynamic”.

  • Pausing the game briefly then resuming seems to fix most of the freezing/stuttering issues.

  • From what I have read, there seems to be a memory leak in the game.

For completeness, I’m listing my specs below:

Intel Core i5-4590T quad-core CPU @ 2.00 GHz
8GB DDR3-1600 MHz RAM
Custom GeForce GPU 2GB GDDR5 (it’s basically an overclocked GTX 860M apparently, comparable to/slightly better than GTX 750 Ti)
Kingston v300 240GB SSD
Windows 10 1511 Build 10586.318
Nvidia Driver version 365.19

Yeah, the game runs beautifully on my rig, except for Yas Marina. I’m rolling an i5 4670k with an MSI GTX 970 G4 Gaming and 8GB of DDR3. Other than the horrendous performance in Yas Marina (unplayable, may as well ALT-F4) it happily pootles along at 60fps in both this and Project Cars.

I’m starting to think that has something to do with system memory (8GB). i have the exact same problem as well but in Rio. if i start the game and play Rio map even few times in a row, it’s fine but after some time it start to stutter and yes i noticed some pop-ins too. hope they fix this memory leak issue soon.
