problems with Lag, wheel diconnecting, Why should i keep paying to be wrecked every race?

[IrishPattey]

So mid game the game freezes. disconnects wheel and i loose all feedback. I've tried every YouTube fix i could find. Did everything IRacing suggested and this game freezes.
Please explain why I should keep paying for a membership to be wrecked in every race i enter? I just got taken out in Practice! I'm talking about practice. not a race! Practice.

you went to iracing support and talked to a person. And they didn't fix your USB selective suspend problem. That is tough to swallow. As for getting wrecked, that's a you problem. You need to learn to not get hit and/or protest it.
Also you never followed up on your last complaint where you asked for help. As far as we know your on a laptop. I understand your a "52 year old noob", but your still younger than most of us and we are trying to help.
Your 2 best resources are support.iracing.com and forums.iracing.com

Jbark51 thanks for the the advice and the dig. Just super frustrated when you pay for something you expect it to work. I'm learning a lot about computers instead of enjoying the game. going to take the weekend off an try to get I.T. on the phone Monday!

[Jbark51]

Not intended as a dig sir. Good luck!

Sounds like a powermanagement problem for the USB device.

Press: WIN+R
type: devmgmt.msc -> press enter.

-> find your USB devices. For each one that supports it.

right click device -> properties -> goto the "powermanagement" tab

-> uncheck both boxes for every device, apply settings.

iRacing is notorious for being easy to run. what are your system specs?

perhaps you have 8gb of ram? an upgrade to 32 would be about $50.

something is goin on if u where able to run the game well in the past and now suddenly its messed up

[IrishPattey]

i got 32, with the geforce 4060 known for this bottle neck and power throttling. I loose everything when it lags. i have watched and done every fix on youtube plus a couple from i racing.

I ended up deleting the game. to difficult get rid of the lag. zero help from support. very disappointed i couldn't figure out throttling and bios, causing bottleneck. I would assume someone would have a clear guide on this being a major issue.

Throttling and overclocking should not be needed.

Describe the lag: Is is graphics that lag, or is connection that lags. Is it stutters, rubberbanding, delayed responsetimes to inputs? and so on.

If you want to solve lag, complete your system specs.

32 GB + 4060 should be good enough. What CPU do you have. And what resolution do you play on? Are you using regular SSD or NVME?

Is your PC cabled or wifi? Get it cabled if it isn't.

its cabled, ryzen7 with regular ssd. it stutters. locks up.i hit the button on the mouse or hit esc. to come back in the wall with no feed back to the wheel.

For sure it's not your specs causing it. They are sufficient. Does it also happen if you do a test-drive? When running a test-drive is all good, then lowering the number of cars might fix it.

You can select the amount of GPU memory the game uses in the settings. Make sure you leave some memory unused because using 100% of it, causes issues in windows 10 and 11.

Graphical issues mostly don't cause lockups, but only cause framedrops and small stutters.

Did you manage to disable the powermanagement of the USB hubs? Some wheels work better on USB2 than on USB3, flipping your USB devices around sometimes solves the problems (but if you have a lot, it can be quite time-consuming to test it).

Also enable the performance bars, That way you can see if your CPU, GPU or FFB get overloaded.

Have you tried connecting the whole wheel setup to a different USB port?
