Hello, here an issue encountered this week end. When joining server with at least 40 cars, my game suddenly got frame drop, which did not enable me to race. After some search and tests during the day, I found that it was caused by the sound settings. I had it on 256 sound effects, I set it on 128 and it seems so solved my issue (but it was too late for me :'( ). Here is an exemple in this video (I could reproduce it by loading a replay). The issue is not so worse what I got on saturday but it appears (sound crackle when frame drop) :
I found this in log during this test : 1357.44s SoundEngineA 2799: Using default MHR... 1357.44s SoundEngineA 2750: Resetting AL Soft Device... 1357.45s SoundEngineA 2849: HRTF enabled, using 0-Default HRTF 1357.52s sound.cpp 1378: Entered Sound::Restart() 1357.53s SoundEngineA 2206: Max supported gain limit is 0 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2210: Enabled ALC_OUTPUT_LIMITER_SOFT 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2771: ALC_SOFT_HRTF supported! 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2780: Available MHRs: 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2785: 0: 0-Default HRTF 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2785: 1: 1-CIAIR 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2785: 2: 2-irc_1016 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2799: Using default MHR... 1357.55s SoundEngineA 2750: Resetting AL Soft Device... 1357.56s SoundEngineA 2849: HRTF enabled, using 0-Default HRTF 1357.61s sound.cpp 1378: Entered Sound::Restart() 1357.61s SoundEngineA 2206: Max supported gain limit is 0 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2210: Enabled ALC_OUTPUT_LIMITER_SOFT 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2771: ALC_SOFT_HRTF supported! 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2780: Available MHRs: 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2785: 0: 0-Default HRTF 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2785: 1: 1-CIAIR 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2785: 2: 2-irc_1016 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2799: Using default MHR... 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2750: Resetting AL Soft Device... 1357.64s SoundEngineA 2849: HRTF enabled, using 0-Default HRTF 1357.70s sound.cpp 1378: Entered Sound::Restart() 1357.72s SoundEngineA 2206: Max supported gain limit is 0 1357.73s SoundEngineA 2210: Enabled ALC_OUTPUT_LIMITER_SOFT 1357.73s SoundEngineA 2771: ALC_SOFT_HRTF supported! 1357.73s SoundEngineA 2780: Available MHRs: 1357.73s SoundEngineA 2785: 0: 0-Default HRTF 1357.73s SoundEngineA 2785: 1: 1-CIAIR 1357.73s SoundEngineA 2785: 2: 2-irc_1016 don't if it could help...
I had the same problem on Saturday, I had to drive with 50 fps crazy. I have tried it offline and the same problem, with 50 cars on the track for it to work correctly I had to go down to 100 effects. The server suffered a fall of many people at the same time and I think this could be the reason. Please check this out so you can enjoy the new sound system as the difference between 100 and 256 effects is quite noticeable
