EXTREME LAG!!!

[jafka_103]

i have the problem that as soon as i just see any track the game Laggs like crazy and is unplayable
pc stats:
gtx 1650
core i5 10th gen
48 gb of ram
1 tb ssd were the game is installed what can i do to fix

Turn your graphics down; at minimum turn your Post Effects to Low.

A piece of advice, change this moldy card, firstly it doesn't make any progress and secondly it's nvidia and the rF1/rF2/LMU engine hasn't always supported nvidia.
In addition it is much too small for LMU, you need a 3070ti for 1080/120hz and 3080ti for 1440p/120hz (and even when it works knowing Nvidia).
I tested an old 2080 gaming x trio that I had and compared to a 5700XT it has 21% fewer fps and the drop is violent.

A piece of advice, be aware of false information about nvidia not supported.
All of the developers in S397 use nvidia based graphics cards.
There was a problem with the AMD graphics cards crashing at 100% load, nobody at s397 knew about it, because nobody uses AMD.

They had to buy 1 AMD graphics card to test and fix the issue. (Read Change Logs at the bottom).

Set your in game resolution to 1080p, and lower the graphics settings.

The problem is i already did all that abd it changed nothing at all, another thing is that the gane looks like ♥♥♥♥ on all settings and its not better or worse if i use it on max settings so i really think it has nothing to do with graphics

I have been a 3D creator and modder for rFactor since 2006 and rFactor 2 since 2018 so I think I know the engine used and created by ISI by heart (I even know how to do things that S397 never knew how to do).
I've been with AMD (ATI before) since 2007 so when I started rF1 I was still on nvidia and it crashed all the time.

On rF2 or LMU I never had any problems apart from the menu lagging when the game came out (which I no longer had after a week) and I never had a crash at 100% or no no matter what other loading and yet I tested 34 different GPUs of different architecture and different generation (from the 280X/290/290X to the 7900 XTX).

I also tested the rare Nvidia ones that I still have (because 3/4 are all burnt out or broken down or just falling apart) and the game crashes either at the end of a loading or during a change session or when leaving a server, the loading bug at 48% while the driver was freshly installed, crashes of the nvidia driver itself also and that on the 780/780ti/980/1080ti/2080 and even a 3070 that I had been loaned.

Besides in 1080 the 290X runs perfectly at 105/110 fps in hight, post process in low, msaa x4 while the 780ti struggles to output 60/70 in medium/low and post process disabled, no msaa and fxaa enabled ^^.

To finish all the SPC that I have assembled in 18 years under AMD (I don't count Nvidia) we have no worries either, even small cards like the RX470/480.

Your post is long, but has no relevance to your false statement that nvidia wasn't supported, and isn't supported.

It has been highly documented all over the internet, that users with AMD graphics cards were crashing just after the loading bar reached 100%.

NOBODY IN S397 HAD A AMD GRAPHICS CARD, so the problem was not spotted. S397 had to buy 1 AMD graphics card, to find out the new surface optimisation function in AMD's driver was not compatible with rFactor2. The fix only came out in November last year.

If no one uses AMD graphics cards at studio 397, do not expect hardware support from them.

The 1650 card should not be bad, I have the 1660 and graphics set to high except I run shadows and shadow blur on low. I have some weird lag couple weeks back, not lag really, more like the game was missing frames. Just make sure to verify game files, you have the latest driver, check your v-sync is on. In your json file check where replays are being saved, I think there is a save to memory you can do but that may only be rF2, but that helps a ton. Also, in game folder -user data, then maybe a log folder but find the shader and cache folder and delete them (you can do this prior to verify game files). Try that stuff, turn shadows and shadow blur to low and see what happens! Should be good. I can run full grid at Le Man with no issues. My computer is 4 years old.

3070GTX & AMD RYZEN 7 5900X -> it's fatal it's unplayable

I never said that the game was not compatible with cnvidia, I said that the graphics and physics engine developed by ISI for rF1 and rF2 then used r for LMU worked much less well with nvidia, moreover if we look at the GPUs recommended by ISI on rF1 or by simbin for GTR1 and GTR2 (which also used the same engine) they were ATI cards (yes it goes back a long time so AMD had not yet bought ATI).
In addition, I am dsl to say it but the sgen s who have problems with AMD as well as cnvidia, people are generally bad with a PC and do not know how to use it and cause (or cause) problems themselves nonstop.
You know, the problem is often between the chair and the desk and I find that this is true in 90% of cases.

All series 30 to 70 cards are bad, that's how it is, there's nothing we can do about it and that's been the case ever since the brand existed.
They have never been able to match and even less surpass ATI/AMD in this segment except once following a bug in the design of the chip at AMD (the RX 480 which was equal to the 1060 6go very quickly exceeded by the corrected version which are the RX580).
I can give you a link which shows the 780/780ti being crushed by HD 7970 which is comical all the same or even a Vega 64 overtaking a 2080 in ray tracing software.
I have several like this.
In my eyes, if you buy entry-level/mid-range cards, it seems to me that you can't afford it; therefore it is ridiculous to take Nvidia knowing that it is less efficient (and sometimes by a lot), it consumes more and it heats more and it is always more expensive by 15 to 30% depending on the model.
Which means that the price/performance ratio is catastrophic and I'm not even talking about the problems with the driver or the GPU itself.

I don't know the comparisons, etc, I just know that my Nvidia runs this game just fine, that was the point of my comment. The OP should be able to run this without the lag they were talking about unless the jump between the 1650 and 1660 was massive which I do not think it was. Hopefully they have figured it out and are enjoying!
