rFactor 2 Build 998

[David Greco]

Dont forget last build is called "MAX". That means "max problems" in other words....Im curios what will happen to me since ive only GTX 660

Let's not joke with dead people pls

 

[David Greco]

Turning on the mirrors, I lose 60-70 fps and it is sensible on the screen, but I think this is from the track.

I have always lost that much FPS in rF2 with mirrors on

 

[Mike Partington]

I havent tried the new build, but im pretty sure I had half second stutters every 15 laps or so before.

 

[Will Barnes]

Looks like I'm having the same issues as you guys, whenever I change cameras I get a sudden game freeze and 0fps then it works fine again. Obsessionally I get some fps drops or the game freezes. I assumed it was my pc getting slow as I've rendered quite a few videos recently but it looks like it's an issue with the new build :/

 

[Eugene van Loggerenberg]

Same issue, but survivable, didn't have that with previous build....
specs I think is not relevant as many have more than enough PC resources with the same issue.

 

[Kris Cobb]

Please try a flesh install and report back ASAP.

More than likely we will move back to 982.

I already tried that yesterday with the track+mod only in my root folder and I got the same results. I think the track plays some role here cause other tracks are completely fine, apart from the 0fps thingy while changing cameras.

 

[Kuba Brzezinski]

Same issues for me as for the Twister bunch

GTX 660
FX 8350
8GB RAM
Win 7

 

[Craig Baxter]

I have zero issues

AMD 280X
i5 2400

 

[Kris Cobb]

I am going to restart the dedicated server if some people could get on to test that would be good. If its still stuttering we'll move back to 982.

FYI AMD7870 and I haven't seen any issues.

I have the same GPU and as I said - no issues.

 

[Dmitry Zaharov]

I just did 15 laps on the server and no big fps drops so far, only two minor stutters (around 0.05s or so) But, here is what I did just before:
- Set rfactor2 to run in 64-bit mode
- Set texture quality to Medium to reduce memory consumption
- Set texture sharpening (in Player.JSON) to Off to further reduce memory consumption
I don't know if these made any difference, but issue is almost gone.

Please try a flesh install and report back ASAP

I don't have a fresh installation (never had it from first rF2 race in 2014) and it seems I don't have problems. I have an AMD card and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

 

[Mike Partington]

Removing AA seems to help. Haven't had any freezes since I did that but could be luck

 

[Pashalis Gergis]

Same for me, used no AA, also no HDR and did a whole race trim without any screen freeze or bug.

Again, this applies only for this track somehow. Malaysia or Silverstone I tried were completely fine on the highest possible settings.

That's because the track is bad I guess. Before JES fixed it I had massive FPS drops.

We will use build 982. I will put up a download link for those that do not have it.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

 

[Norbert Leitner]

Who installed the new build how can we downgrade to the previus build?
New install?

 

[Kris Cobb]

Download:
http://racefiles.formula-simracing.net/2015/Software/rFactor2_LiteBuild_982.exe

You should be able to overwrite the 998 directory.

 

[Georg Winter]

I just tested it. Just install the 982 lite build into your actual 998 folder and it overwrites it. all settings etc will be still there. Work of 1min
