Irritating Lag in PC2

[mathieu3004]

So i got the game today thinking it would be a good buy. I think the game is great... if it actually works though.

The thing is, it just keeps having some sort of slow down lag. I tried switching every graphic option but it just stayed the same. I installed the game on my SSD hoping that would change it. And it worked for about 3 minutes after it went on doing the same frustrating thing. The strange thing is that it is doing the exact same thing on PC1 aswell since I had the problem with PC2.

When the game works as it should be (which i have experienced for about 6 minutes in total I think) I have the idea the game is really really good, so could anyone please help me with this very frustrating problem?

Already saw that one, thanks for the help but I tried everything with V-sync

Does it behave like the video? Essentially still running at a high framerate but feeling like slow motion, possibly followed by warp speed?

Yes it does look really like it

Do you have AMD pc

I am actually facing the exact same issue and the steps described in the link above did not help me unfortunately. I am not running an AMD CPU. My computer is an MSI GE72MVR 7RG Apache Pro.

The effect does happen in VR (with Oculus Rift CV) as well as in non-vr mode.
I am using Nvidia GeForce Experience to optimize the game and to keep my drivers up to date.

Any other ideas I could try out?

I tried installing the game on my SSD, and i noticed the lag was gone the first 4 corners in California Highway. Maybe this is a solution for you

I have moved the game to my SSD and unfortunately the issue still appears. Seems to be a different thing then. Just wondering what it could be. I even installed the latest drivers which have been just released and still am facing the issue.

Must be some sort of driver/hardware issue or whatsoever I assume. Just had the same problem in Assetto Corsa for the first time last night. So maybe not only PC2 related.

Allright. The issue in Assetto Corsa I have resolved by deactivating the Nvidia Geforce Experiecnce Overlay. It kept capturing the game and caused the problem.

However, PC2 still has this weird issue. I monitored my computer with the MSI Dragon Center Mobile Tool (lets you see computer stats on your mobile phone) and CPU Clock etc was fine. Windows Task Manager, however, shows 100% CPU Usage exactly when this issue occurs. Steam FPS Overlay shows 1 FPS. So there indeed seems to be an issue somehow with the CPU / CPU Usage.

I have one important change to my previous description:
This issue "does not" occur when not in VR mode. I unplugged my Rift and sensors and started the game regularly without Oculus VR mode and I had 120 FPS stable.
My previous mislead information was based on the fact that I had the Rift enabled, but looked on my PC screen where this issue also occured. Which, in the end, make sense as the Game still renders the Rift.

So this, for me at least, is only an issue when in VR.

Any ideas on this, anyone?

I also tried disabling Oculus Rift's Async Speed Warp (ASW) feature, without any noticable difference.

what about CPU?

[Deathbox_2112]

It's usually common with an older CPU. I have an i5 2500K and get this problem in career mode. I'm due for a new rig, so maybe I'll start looking for parts :)

[adambarrs92]

Did anyone find a solution to this problem? Happens with me in VR but only in online lobbies with lots of players... I'm thinking it could possibly be a CPU issue as I'm running an i7 3770? Any help is much appreciated

This guide helped me. In particular the "-fpscap 65" section. 65 reduced the stutter, with 61 it only stuttered once. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1185792026
