Insufficient Video Memory detected

[Oldish]

when will this bug be fixed No problems with Rfactoer 2 for years and since last January 2018 I get to game screen but all tracks are not loading properly. Will this be fixed. I can't believe its to do with intel onboard graphics. Other games don't have this problem and this one never did Until Now!

....When u find the solution, please post here. I have a gt 730 and 8 gb memory too.

8 GB is main system memory. You need to look up how much GPU memory your GT 730 has. If it's only 1 GB, then rF2 will probably only work with lowest settings on everything.

The recommended GPU to run rF2 is a GTX 760. GT 730 is about three to four times slower than that. Even if you get it running, it will not play rF2 with decent FPS.

Yes Celloman, i guess the problem is my card graphic. The only razon no update my Gt 730 is because i run assetto and project cars with minimum requeriments. Rfactor is unplayable.

ttb57, of course i checked the file integrity.

Thanks guys. I had no idea you had options with the GPU settings. Cbash and shaders? you're going to have to help me out there as I'm still quite new to Windows! How about the missing cars and tracks? I distinctly remember getting the EVE Matra!

[ttb57]

Selecting your GPU in video settings helps some with problems (I don't have the issue but still go through the process). cbash and shaders should be cleared when switching from DX9 to DX11, though I do mine every new build. They are found in Steam/Steam Apps/Common/rFactor2/UserData/Log.

It really doesn't use much VRAM at all, especially on the lowest texture setting

[terry_horsnell]

Thanks again guys. I'll try that tonight. I can't find this 'auto' setting though. I managed to get back my tracks and cars. They were in the workshop. I didn't know you had to reload them every time. Trouble is the screen now goes haywire with jagged polygons all over the place. I suppose I need to fiddle with the graphics settings but there are so many of them! Thing is, it worked before no problem. That's what is so annoying!

In the laucher select settings(the gear thing) and select video settings. There is a dropdown box to select your GPU. Default is auto . Some people are having issues with the game selecting onboard graphics if on auto.

What your card graphic? Maybe you have a good card for Rfactor 2.

[ttb57]

Yes, I have a 1070 but ran with a 750ti before that

@blashko you may need think in change gpu for what i know rfactor 2 change the system requirements, now with the effects rain etc you need more gpu and cpu. I dont think the gt730 can run most of the updates tracks. but you can ask in the forum or discord from 397 for support. regards

Thank you. I always played rfactor 2 with this graphics card. Now it is not. Assetto and Project run perfectly. I love Rfactor 2, but i'm tired. A lot problems.

Intel I3-2130 3.4 GHZ.
Nvidia GT 730
8 GB memory
I guess my specs are enough to run Rfactor 2.

I'd say upgrade that GPU to something like a GTX 1050 or 1050ti. I am using a 750ti and those GPU's are twice as powerful as 750ti. Even a GT 1030 would be a 100% increase in GPU related performance compared with the GT 730

I know that my GPU is nothing special. But I ask, why can I play assetto and project cars?

Yeah, I know, they just run much better and look much flashier than RF2. They are better optimised.

Well actually, I don't have project cars, but I have assetto corsa. I have a 2600k and a 750ti, and I can run AC at 150-200 fps with lots of cars on the track. Whereas I am limited to around 80-100 fps with RF2, at what looks like much lower graphical settings. I still like the sharp and clear look of RF2 though. AC still looks a little post processed, even with the post processing switched off. I don't think RF2 has much LOD degrading, there seems to be a massive draw distance, whilst AC you can see LOD and things drawing themselves in.
