It’s ridiculous. Almost everyone ended up DQed and it couldn’t be fixed for subsequent races so they removed the limit entirely with predictable consequences

Because iracing is very literally a fork of a Nascar game from (I believe) 2003.

It's definitely frustrating that no matter what I do I can't seem to get iRacing to stop stuttering periodically while I can run newer racing games with almost all of the bells and whistles on at 4K smoothly. It doesn't feel like the render engine is at all optimized for newer hardware, so this doesn't really surprise me at all.

Turn off crowds, events, and stands. That helped me a lot. Mirrors are apparently performance killers, too, but I'm not 100% on that.

I loved GPL but holy poo poo they released a game that basically no computers on the market could play reliably, with default setups on the cars that were nearly undrivable.

Rated PG-34 posted:same but at the lowest settings in VR and some decent hardware to boot I have a 1080ti and a Ryzen 2600x and randomly during races, maybe once an hour, iracing in VR will just completely poo poo itself and run at like 40fps for like 30 seconds and then be fine again. It’s janky, but it’s also the best thing going for racing real people. The thing that keeps blowing my mind is other sims have plenty of chances to just straight up copy iracing for multiplayer and they just pass on it. I was hopeful about ACC and then they were like “nope, p2p lol have fun”

I've got a 2700X and a 2070, so there's really no excuse. Even with stands and crowds turned off, it'll still periodically just stutter. It's not huge, just enough to be noticeable for a couple of seconds. 1080, 2K or 4K all behave more or less the same way.

I've been able to get consistently silky smooth performance in 2D, but in VR I've always had problems and had to have everything on BARE MINIMUM and even then, if I'm racing other people depending upon the track and number of cars, it may not feel very great once I'm halfway through the race. So I went and bought a stupid expensive video card just so I could race in VR all I want, and its only marginally better. But as you say, its the best we're gonna get, so ah well.

iRacing runs on one core, and is heavily dependent on single core performance. You can turn on more meters in the options menu. I suggest turning on the render statistics and then click the use numbers checkbox. The R number is your CPU render, and G is your GPU render. I think it's the number of ms it takes each thing to render the frame. You probably want them to be around 10 or below. If the R is high, turn down the number of track objects and turn off crowds. If your G is high, you have to turn down high details and shadows and AA and whatnot.Carth Dookie posted:Which is a tragedy because grand prix legends was IMO the best racing game ever made and I would sell my left nut to have an updated version of the 65-72 gp seasons on classic tracks with classic cars, full fidelity physics and mechanical breakdowns etc. I desperately want a game with decent AI. I keep meaning to do iracing races, but whenever I actually feel like doing it, a race has already started and it's too long until the next one.

iRacing also doesn't properly offload everything to the GPU either so graphics settings will have a greater than expected impact on the CPU bottleneck. You can pretty much only run it on max settings on the very latest Intel chips, and AMD is worse because they focus on multi thread performance at the cost of single.

I got a sub for 2019 based on that., I'm not going to resub till I see it, I don't have the time I use to.. I have 1-2 evenings a week and in the summer it's less so I'm racing not very often due to start times./

I feel ya, I stick to only the races that start frequently, Mazda, Skips, Ferrari GT3 and F3 Fun. How anyone makes the races that only run once a day are beyond me. I still have a hard time making the frequent ones

There's a bunch of 'SoF' series where nobody shows up except for that one timeslot at 1am on a weekday and those that do will furiously argue that it's just fine and not at all a sign of a dead car/series.

Yeah, the race "runs" every X hours but it only goes official if enough cars show, and for some series that's seriously in the range of only 1-4x per week.

Shadow filters will also murder your frame rate. The default one ( I forget what it's called), can be reduced to simple or none and that helps immensely at the slight cost of some shadows looking a little pixelier. <---- AMD FX-8350 with an RX-580, running 1080 triples at low to med graphics*. I get about 60-65FPS consistently (except on older tracks at night), which is fine since my monitors only refresh at 60mhz anyway. (the specs say 75mhz but they're Scepter monitors so I suspect that number is bullshit) *I could probably go higher, but I refuse to limit the number of cars drawn ahead, since if something happens up front I want to see it coming.

Though I think there's 2 on Saturdays. Been a while since I've run one so I might be mistaken. I'm oval trash though, so I don't know about road course stuff.

Reduce rendered mirrors also will help a lot. Pablo Bluth posted:It's been a while since my accountant active. What road courses are expected to be the next releases?

Day/Night cycles, updates to some tracks, new GTE cars, dirt trucks, and more. They did release NTMv7 for Skips and keep showing off videos of a new damage/collision system and AI.
