Report: After losing front wing the car gets airborn above around 100mph.
Steps to reproduce: Crash and lose front wing, drive fast

For any difficulties related to installing, running or setting up the game which are not necessarily bugs in the software, please use the v1.25 release thread.

Please allow time for us to test, verify and rectify the issues. We might not reply to you right away but rest assured if you posted here, we will have read it.

Please avoid posting new threads for bug reports, it´s the easiest way to make sure your report gets lost in the shuffle.

 

[Renato Simioni]

Unless you guys are running triple screens, this really should not be required. It can get very heavy on race starts & large fields from the TV camera, but that´s a very specific circunstance to drop all your settings down for.

If you do want to drop some settings, shadows from max to high and opponent details from max to high will bring you the most gain for less quality loss.

 

[Davide Nativo]

Nope, single monitor full HD as I said. Will try as you suggested and report back

 

[Msportdan]

guys with 970s try this...

run DSR x4 in CP (select highest resolution in gsc config)
AA x1 in gsc config
Run high shadows
no shadow blur
21 AI cars

im getting a great fps and image quality with this.

 

[Davide Nativo]

I have Reiza sweetfx active, from what I remember sweetfx doesn't work with in-game aa I'll see what I can do with CP aa

Thanks for the tip

Ok lads listen up, did some in-depth testing this morning and results are important even to you @Reiza Studios

I made some tests and results show this: with DSR x2 enabled (actual 2715x1527 on my monitor), everything in graphics set to "full" (even shadows), 32 sounds effects in audio and full grid I have
- with stock cars, both 2013 and 2014, 32 AI --- 60 fps stable, back on the grid, no spikes or lag
- with FReiza, 24 AI --- 60 fps stable, back on the grid, no spikes or lag
- with FVee and FRetro 24 and 25 AI respectively --- fps deeps from 60 to 40, back on the grid, stuttering and random spikes

Track: Velopark

So I guess the real problem is not that we lack horsepower but that there is some optimization still to be made to some open-wheelers shadows, high-poly count, something is messing up with those cars which are, I think, our favourites. Please keep looking into this devs

my specs: I5 3570k @4.3, Corsair XMS3 @2.0 ghz cl11, Asus Strix GTX 970 @1463 - 7.7 ghz, Asus Xonar DSX, Win 8.1; game installed on ssd drive

 

[yusupov]

turning opponent detail down will probably fix your FPS issue. 'full' is a bit ridiculous.

 

[Davide Nativo]

Yusupov, of course turning details down helps, but why certain cars go full no problem and others not? The problem is more complicated than setting a slider, and won't be solved by no specific in-game setting I am afraid, as people seem to report

 

[donizete]

Os pneus quando passam pela grama não estão sujando. O que poder ser?

 

[Guilherme Borghezani]

essa atualização vai vir na 1.3

 

[Fabio Rodrigues]

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Mini Challenge, Formula V12
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: No launch control - game says that it's not available for this vehicle
Steps to reproduce: Try to use launch control

This could be just an intentional, undocumented change, or a bug. Still, it would be nice if the game told you which cars have launch control, DRS, temporary boost, etc. Perhaps a line on the showroom screen, if possible?

There were some optimizations to those cars released last night, is your test with them?

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

Track - Londrina (long)
Car - Any
Version - 1.25 + latest Patch - Non-Steam version.

Crash on track load:
"Error loading texture PWALLMETAL for material FENCEPOLEBA"

Tried deleting location and re-running GSCsync and get same error.

Do you still have this problem?

It works fine here. What track detail and texture detail settings?

Thanks

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

I'm still crashing everytime, help please, no matter the car, the track...

I'm still crashing everytime and no one said a thing, last time you got my money Reiza.

Every time game freezes, the monitor shuts off then back on, engine note stuck on accelerator (or whatever i was doing at the freeze time).

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

I'm sorry, I can't do anything more than post the dmp files internally for them to be looked at.

Yes

 

[Msportdan]

I just tried velopark with 22 vees and DSR x4 AA x1 im getting pretty much 60 fps at back of grid. Hi shadows no blur rest max. At the beginning of the lap I see tiny stutters, not sure now if eyes are lieing to me. But there is defo an improvement.

ALso at velopark when in the pit there seems to be a tree flickering in the background as you look down the pitlane, which seems to be in time with 2-3 fps spikes im having in the pit on track cam.

Leo try reducing the AA?

 

[Jimmy Broadbent]

Unfortunately the game will still not launch from steam UNLESS there is no profile. On profile creation, the game crashes and will not launch again.

 

[Msportdan]

run game as admin?

 

[Davide Nativo]

Why should I do it? If stock cars can handle it why Vee not?
I'm sorry maybe it's because English is not my native language that I cannot explain myself well. My point is: If some cars run with max details without fps drop and others not, then the problem is in those cars and not in the settings.

I know that lowering the settings help but it's not on my side that the chance should be made. If I can enjoy this sim with full graphics, then I want to enjoy it this way with all cars present since it's technically possible.

Last update helped the stutterings but not the fps drops
Thank you Msportdan but as I said problem is not in the settings thanks for the tip nontheless
