Saw this and don’t know if it’s been shared on here before but it works wonders for me so thought I’d share it.

I wouldn;t touch that so-called FIX with a 10 ft pole.

Thank you for posting this! Can't wait to try out with VR after the new Oculus SDK.

This works, finally, a proper fix,, come on codemasters, get your act together...

I was so glad, that I have no stuttering anymore, because of new Monitor, but since last week, I have freezes. Never had that before.
Fix didn't help in my case. Codies plz fix it, fast.

THANKS !

I think Dirt Rally, is not affected by stuttering due to USB devices, i ended up removing it from Dirt Rally 1.0 as i found it to run smoother without this, maybe just a placebo thing.

But this really works for Both Dirt 2.0 and Dirt 4, massive improvement,

Yesterday, I played Dirt Rally and I have Freezes as well there. I have no clue, where it comes from. Windows 10 fresh installation, it happens in 1607 and in 1803 and in 1909.
I tried the fix, but sadly it doesn't work in my case.

how many USB devices do u have plugged in? u using wheel or controller?

is it freezes, stutters or slow downs?

also have you tried the worker map fix. if you have a 6 or 8 core CPU, set it to use 4 cores. ill post the link for that fix. setting it to 4 cores fixed mine

Have a look in your "Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\system" folder for a file called "hardware_settings_config.xml"
Inside that file you should have the following line - workerMapFile="system/workerMap.xml"
Change it to - workerMapFile="system/workerMap4Core.xml"

Ok, I have plugged in Wheel, Pedals, Mouse and Dockingstation(off) in Usb. Keyboard is P2. I changed the line in config xml, but I have still freezes in both games. Maybe I have to uninstall one of the games, because I'm not willing to fiddle around with HID Devices.
Really frustrated atm, but thanks @rdalcroft for trying to help me.
Edit: since VR is implemented, performance is getting worse in my case.

Needed to delete the two HID Devices and Freezes are gone.
Thx again for the help.
Codemasters, when will you fix this issue?????????????????
