Every now and again im getting this slow mo effect when racing online, never had it offline and im running most things on high but lower it when i got online, fps seem fine it just seems to hit a sort of slow mo mode lol sounds stay normal whilst it happens and other cars seem to fly past me even when im flat out lol Sorry if ive missed this elsewhere on the forum but theres that much going on i cant keep up lol Im running a G27 and my specs are duel core 2.9, 4GB of ram (only getting 3.5 due to XP ) and an Nvidea GTX 560 graphics card. Any information would be appreciated
Press Control+C and monitor the purple bar. If it maxes out, you've fallen out of realtime (hence the slow-motion effect). This can happen during collisions (not necessarily your own!) or in other cases where the physics engine can't keep up.

Some systems can't others it may be an issue we are working on. If you're close to the minimum specs, it's possible.
i did the little fix posted in the thread http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1522-Software-is-jerky-falls-out-of-realtime-CPU-is-100 Completly fixed my issue! online is now fine
Is it possible that this is related to the weather? I had this issue yesterday a lot and the only way I could fix it (this may have been coincidence so I am ASKING) was to change the weather to sunny (I had it on P/C I think- but it was weird because the menu said p/c but all the ions were sunny). Once I changed to sunny the slo-mo'ing stopped and the game was driveable again. I didn't have a chance to test this any more.
