I recently finished building an rFactor 2-only computer for my father. However, a handful of problematic vehicles are causing some kind of bottle neck and taking the framerate down from a solid 60 to a lowly 1fps. My own computer on the other hand (built with mainly the same components) runs rFactor 2 just fine, with no issue, which is kind of odd.
There are only three differences between our computers:
Mine:
Win7
Overclocked 2500k
SSD
His:
XP (yes I know I know, but I had an old license lying around and he'll only be using it for rFactor 2)
Stock 3570k
Some generic 7200rpm HDD
I can't imagine the harddrive affecting framerate, so I'm guessing it's CPU or OS related (motherboard, memory, sound, graphic card are all the same). Anyway, onto the list of cars that kill the framerate:
ISI cars that cause the framerate issue
BT20
Formula ISI
Formula 2
Marussia
Mods that cause the framerate issue
All United Racing Design vehicles
Lola 280
Mazda 787b
The final odd piece of the jigsaw is that after loading a track with a 1fps vehicle, if I then quit back to the title screen and select one of the 60fps vehicles, the game remains stuck at 1fps. It's as if simply loading one of the 1fps vehicles in flips a switch that kills the framerate.
Question 1) Do you think XP or the 3570k CPU would have some compatibility issues with certain cars? Seems odd.
Question 2) If it's not XP or the CPU, what do you think the cause might be and how would one go resolving it?

Once I was asked in a rather suspicious and quite rude tone why I had three rFactor licenses!!!! I´ve been suspected of cheating because I´ve buy too much before.
