Everey computer car I race against stutters like when racing online against players who have low Internet connections. What do I need to do to fix this?
I looked at that old thread but it wasn't much help. It appears to be a framerate issue but I can't figure out more than that. Here's my specs. Hopefully, someone can help me out. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz 16 GB RAM
Your CPU is barely fast enough to run the physics. Making it do AI cars as well is pushing it to its limits. Try reducing things like track detail (reduces the number of objects on the track; unlike most graphics options it may help your CPU) and make sure you don't have any background tasks sucking CPU power. Press Ctrl-C while on track. If you see the purple horizontal bar reaching the right edge your CPU isn't able to keep up (the histogram below will also show multiple vertical bars). This issue is largely independent of your graphics (FPS etc). I'm not sure if AI smoothness is sacrificed in an effort to keep your own car in realtime, though it can be difficult to tell if you're slowing down now and then (the Ctrl-C graph helps with that).
