What happened to this game's performance?

[Elmo Loves You!]

I genuinely liked this title as it was fun to ♥♥♥♥ around with friends on, but as of late I have noticed poor frame rates (60 fps on all low settings) and constant stuttering. Why did this start to occur and is there a fix?

need more information, where / when does it stutter ? trying to relay the information

[Elmo Loves You!]

The stuttering occurs every single second i play, regardless of if it is single player or multiplayer. The stuttering appears to be cause by the game's frame rate. The fps constantly dips and rises between 60 and 80 fps even on the lowest settings.

is it the same in the game menu for exemple ?

The frame dips do not seem to occur in the menu, but the moving characters (drivers and birds) seen in the background tend to stutter.

My friend has a Macbook Pro that has more than enough capacity to play the game and the stuttering (menu and game) is real even in super low graphics. She can't play the game at its current state. Any idea why? Her Mac can run games like Borderlands 2, Overcooked 2, Left 4 Dead without any problem. Whe bought the game together so we could have some fun but now we are stuck in this problem.

This remaster runs a lot better and smoother for me than the original.

Something must be up with your PC's or something, and it's hard to find out why especially when other more graphically intense games run smoother for you guys.

Problem probably lies somewhere in the game's code, though I'm not a developer.

Not disregarding any potential performance problem, but Left 4 dead 2 was released 11 years ago, borderlands 8, the specs for those game are by todays standards extremely low and being able to play these games isn't a guarantee that garfield kart FR will run smoothly on a pc. i don't know about overcooked because i've barely played it but i wouldnt find it surprising if it was less resource consuming than GKFR.

If this is indeed a specs issue, your friend may ask steam for a refund, if the conditions are met, she will be refunded.

Started playing the game today and i do notice slowdowns (not frame drops, game definitely starts running slower)
1080ti
i7-4770k
As I said it's not frame drops, it never goes below sixty but it starts running slower the later into the race.

[EDIT] Noticed that frametimes are kinda screwed when camera moves fast

This is the fix. Go to preferences for Garfield Kart and in Launch options add
