FIX FOR FRAMERATE DROP (NVIDIA GPU only)

16GB RAM

***I had FPS drop issue before. From 60 FPS, the game sometimes drop to 20FPS which causes freezing of the game (specially during night time + rain). Then I tried changing the settings in NVIDIA Control Panel based on the settings from a different game. This new settings gave me framerate boost up to 100 FPS during daytime and around 50 - 60 FPS during night time + rain.

Here are the steps on how to Optimize your Game (For NVIDIA GPU Users Only):

>Open NVIDIA Control Panel
>Under '3D settings', go to 'Manage 3D Settings'
>Go to 'Program Settings' Tab
>Select City Car Driving application (or Add the game if it is not on the list, just follow the game path in your steam folder>steamapps>common>City Car Driving>Bin>Win32>Starter)

>Now go to Specify the settings for this program area and change the following:

> CUDA - GPUs = "Use these GPUs"
> OpenGL rendering GPU = "Your GPU"
> Power Management mode = "Prefer Maximum Performance"
> Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample otion = "On"
> Threaded optimization = 'On"
>Vertical Sync = "Off"

>Then click apply.
>Start the game.

Now i am getting stable framerate using High Settings even with the rain effect.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! This worked for me

Thanks! I'll try this when I get my Valve Index.

I originally thought this worked until I started driving and every 2-4 seconds everything freezes for a second, making it impossible to play. I've got a 1080, and even on the lowest settings it's still unplayable.

This fixed the issue for me.

Hello. Quite often perfomance problems may be result of the game configuration files overflow and sometimes – third-party mods also may ruin the performance too.

Therefore, first of all try these steps:

1. Unsubscribe from all mods.

2. Uninstall the game in Steam.

3. Manually delete the folder, where the game has been installed (it will remain after uninstallation) – …\Steam\SteamApps\common\City Car Driving

4. Turn off the Steam cloud profile synchronization for City Car Driving – open your Steam client, click on City Car Driving with right mouse button and choose “Properties” from the context menu. Then open the tab “Updates” and there turn off the option “Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for City Car Driving”.

5. Delete the folder "Forward Development" from your "My Documents" folder.

6. Install the game again.

7. After all above turn off Vertical Sync in both places - the game settings and your video card settings.

I already have done this before. But it won't work.

remember to run the game in full screen, even if you use VR, when the secondary windows for the screen turns on, make sure it is on full screen and not in windomed, you will notice fps increase

Have you installed any mods?

Also is 2070 is the only video card in your system? If you also have an integrated GPU - make sure the game is running on the discrete 2070 video card, but not on the integrated one. Try forcing the game to the dedicated one – right click on the game shortcut and select Run with GPU <your dedicated video card>. Or if you don’t have this option in the context menu, you can follow these advices – https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-components/how-set-default-graphics-card-3612668/

And of course you should try updating your video card driver as well.

I have no mods, I only have one graphic card, and it is selected. My Video card driver is on the correct version.

Please contact our technical support at [e-mail] and send us the following information:

- DxDiag diagnoctic file from your computer after the crash. In order to create this file, press the "Windows" and "R" keys simultaneously on the keyboard, type "dxdiag" in the window that opens, and click OK. In the window that appears, click the "Save all information" button and save the file to where you can easily find it.

- Your CCD's settings files. To send us these files, you should compress the whole folder with game settings ("…DocumentsForward Development" folder.) in archive file and send us.

- A video (you can just take it with your smartphone) showing how bad the game is working.

I tried everything to solve the FRAMERATE DROP. Then I discovered that the problem is in the option Recording !!!

Go to Records / Settings / Record Settings

DISABLE "TURN ON RECORDING"!!!

it worked for Windows Mixed Reality headset and for RTX2060 Super 8Gb. FPS raise and game forked much smoosly, but sometimes on corners picture is still laggy in VR so it can cause nausea
