2011-10-18 Update framerate issue.

[xbx]

I also downloaded the update for the update

but there is a little problem... mby only at my side...
after I installed it I can only play with ~40 fps => it laggs

normally I play with ~100 fps with a GPU usage of 96%-100% => there aren't any laggs
with the update the GPU usage is by 70%-80% good for the GPU but a horrible nightmare for TM²

can you give more infos?
Did you install the 2011-10-11 update before? or did you enable the updates just now?
What hardware do you have? (graphic card, Os, Cpu, memory)

in which situations do you observe this? (solo, multi, benchmark?)

i've activated it since the first day it was available

What hardware do you have? (graphic card, Os, Cpu, memory)

NVidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB
Win 7 64-Bit Ultimate
Intel i5-760 (4 x 2,8 GHz)
OCZ 8192MB RAM DDR3

in which situations do you observe this? (solo, multi, benchmark?)

everywhere...

it's like playing in manialotto
i started the game again and again... always did the same steps (start go to a server and play the same track)
most of the time i get 40 fps but sometimes i "earned" 140 fps

Can you post a screenshot of the analyser?
(play a race, press '°' twice or whatever is they on the right of '0' on the main keyboard)

thanks!

one of the lucky moments...

i try to get the other one

that's confusing... now i get >100fps
but seriously after the update i always got 40 fps
game restart = 40 fps
pc restart = 40 fps

i've made a video in this time (5gb...) so u can only have a screenshot without the "big" analyser

is it possible that tm2 needs a warmup

btw also the video in the main menu had lagged.. so the whole game

[xbx]

hum.
I'm not quite sure to understand...

are you saying that
* While you where stuck to 40 fps after applying the update even when rebooting the pc,
* you now (a few hours later) can't reproduce the problem anymore?

or is it more fuzzy that this?
(like: before you mostly had 40 fps, and sometimes 100fps, and now it's the reverse?)

and when you say you sometimes get different fps, is it during the same race? or after changing race? or after restarting the game?

ok here we go...

1. i've updated the game today
2. i've started the game and thought wtf it laggs anytime everywhere with 40 fps
3. so i thought ok restart the game... nothing happened also 40 fps
4. i've restarted the computer and again 40fps so i just started to post this problem
5. now i can't reproduce the problem with the 40 fps i have always 100 fps (more or less)

and i hope this won't come back again at the evening

anyway before the update i had sometimes a problem like this... if a map was restarted on a server i've got sometimes only 60 fps and i just restarted the whole game and the problem was blown away

here is the 40 fps video...
watch it in full screen

but in my opinion that won't help

I also have bad performance after he latest update. Hopefully Nadeo can fix this..

Hi!

let's try to sort this out.

Performance has become worse for me after the update. Before update I had constant 60fps. Now in night tracks and also some day tracks the fps sometimes dips to 10 for a short period (especially when there are lots of other cars) and often ruins the lap. It also seems the performance overall is not as smooth as before.

can you be more precise on "short period"? (is it 1s? 10s? 1/10th ?)
and does it happen any time? or is it after changing track? or after starting a new round?

and can you post an analyser screen shot when you have the lags?

It seems the slow performance is not directly linked to complexity of the track as in other tracks the performance is much better in similar situations.

My setup is i7 920 @ 4ghz /12GB / nVidia GTX580 running latest drivers so I guess the game should run fine. Is there anything I can do to improve performance? Has the new update been tested with gtx580?

windows seven?


thanks!

I can post screen shot when I get home from work. When it happens, it seems to happen in same spot in a track. I was playing at this "mini" server last night that had about 60 players and on some tracks, every time after a certain jump the frame rate dips to about 10 for about a second. It seems the lag lasts for about one second, maybe a little less but still certainly more than 1/10sec.

Also in the beginning when all cars start I sometimes have some choppiness. I didn't have any of that before the update with my current hardware (I had some before I upgraded my video card from gtx260 to gtx580 during the beta).

I remember seeing similar lag before the update only when I changed cpu/gpu synchro from "compability" settings to "none" or "instant" (can't remember which because I am not at my pc right now). But now it happens even when I have it set to the default value (1 frame).
