Please fix the damn freezing !!!

[Quick☢420™]

Why has this not been made the number one thing to work on??? With a 13th gen cpu a 3090 and installed on an nvme I should not be seeing solid freezes every 30 seconds or so for 1 second then poof gone, it happens at all resolutions and settings, nothing I've tried gets rid of it. Please get as fix out guys...

Ngl that should've been fixed on the first update.

Also do you have lagging/stuttering on game startup as well?

i have the same problem. This is a problem when you are racing time hunters races. You freeze and the time keeps running. it ruins your race and theese laggs shuts every 30-40 seconds.

I have the same problem, I thought it was a problem with my computer, I have played other games at maximum resolution to see if the same freezes occurred, but NO, only in this game it freezes every 30 seconds and lasts 1 second and makes you lose, I have an i9 14900ks with a 4090 RTX, M.2 but since I don't see a solution, I will have to ask for a refund.

It only seems to happen to me in races, you know all the different events. Simply racing around the city it doesn't happen. I don't get loading issues, just in race where it's most important for it to be smooth.

I like the game too much to ask for a refund, they will figure it out, it just started for me a couple updates ago.

So it must be a hardware issue on my end, cause both my 2020 Acer Nitro 5 and Steam Deck does that during startup. I stuttering in races doesn't really happen til 15-30 min in.

Happens to me at random during free drive, races, deliveries, doesn't matter. It's not a loading or memory issue. I have a 7900XTX, 5800X3D, and a Samsung 980 Pro. Hardware is not the issue. Also, literally the only game that it happens on.

It's on their side.

4080 super I7 13th gen 64gbs of ram and no matter this ♥♥♥♥ still stutters at any resolution. Would love a fix soon.

[Quick☢420™]

I just tried using a Vulkan wrapper didn't help at all, exact same issue, damn game!

[HankMan64]

3700x, NVME drive, 4070Super experiencing a stutter every few minutes that kills my runs. Please fix this devs

I have a theory these lag spikes/stutters are due to the server trying to connect you to a lobby. Only lead I have to this conclusion is seeing players flicker onto the off my mini-map during the stutter. Leading me to believe it is failing to bring you into a lobby, hence why no matter the hardware ppl have it still causes stutters. Could be wrong though.

[JuanSix3]

Yeah. it happens everywhere, racing, at the tunning shop, looking the map, everywhere!!, and every 30segs. In history mode there is no problem, but when you race in Timehunters, it is a big problem because the laggs last a second and it makes you loose all your effort trying to make the best time of the race.
I have a 5600x, Rtx 3060ti and a M.2.
I'd like to post a video showing the problem but i don´t know where.

I have never played online and I connected today for the first time to test and all the clubs are removed from the map. I disconnected after seeing that but am going to test right now with a couple events online to see if the freezes still happen the same way, will edit and update post with results from my end.

Probably should specify the Single Player does appear to have online elements, those racers you see driving around aren't AI but players. When the stuttering is occurring I am not in a session with other players, there is no one on my map driving around. Though when I am in a SP lobby that connects I can see other drivers going around doing stuff and the stuttering is gone.

My friend and I played in a private StreetNET session, multiplayer without SP clubs and such, and we experienced no stutters. As stated before could be wrong, but this is the only real lead that has teeth at the moment for me.

This though leads me to believe the stuttering is from a failure to connect to these single player lobbies and it retrying connection.

I'm believing this to be true too, there are online requirements even for the single player portion, and it would seem that either it stutters when someone else joins or possibly the game does a connection check randomly or something along those lines. Whatever is causing this issue is making me stop playing. Some of the events are very close racing and when a stutter causes you to lose control and lose your race it becomes a rage-quit issue. This needs to be fixed asap.
