Explain this....I can´t

I've been struggling with the frame rate over the last two days. I wasn't able to get over 40 fps at Spa and experiencing lots of stuttering. Last night when I shut my computer down, I see there are 4 windows updates installing. Today, I turn the computer on, start rFactor 2, go to Spa and....incredible, 90 fps solid. Has there been an update I missed? I don't understand it. I'm not complaining! I'm so happy!

BTW, I run windows 7 64.

 

Please tell the names of the update !!!!

 

How do you find out the updates that took place?

 

go to programs and features ( where you uninstall a program ) and see on the left for Installed Updates


then look for updates u installed that day

 

I will when I get home and I will post.

 

thanks....* off to start the update system *

 

Most likely a driver update was bundled in with the rest of windows updates, I believe windows update is capable of that

 

Man, I tell you. It's incredible. I haven't touched anything. It's a completely different game. Wow!

 

Probably a new WHQL video driver refreshed some problem you were experiencing. MS does release compatibility patches from time to time but they're not going to release one of those for a beta.

 

the day i installed rfactor 2, there were indeed some updates to windows.
i can't relate those to good/bad performance now and then.
it's the same.

 

ummm or maybe it is just the fact that this is still Beta Stage at this moment ...? rFactor 2 is still in development so the result is that it's still not running at 100% Preformance, Quality whatever you wanna call it ...

 

Strange thing... BUT

I uninstalled it today and made a clean reinstall... and what the hell 95 fps triple screen without stuttering...
Couldn´t believe this

Now make the AA working for my ATI ! and will have a ****ing blast !


Edit: Windows update yesterday...

 

I had similar happen to me with the updates. I thought it was just the cold boot the following day that improved performance, but maybe it was'nt. It was very jerky at first and even crashed first time I ran it (I had everything on max) Now its much smoother, and hopefully will be 60fps by the time the betas finished

 

Didn't experience the boost that you guys are talking about. Anyway, here are the latest updates for Win7 x64 at my system this year:

This worked for me too!!!!

I was running just one screen @ 1680x1050x32.

I was getting VERY low frame rates, especially at Mills.

I updated today and tried again, and although I have vsync on, its steady at 60hz/60fps without drops!

I tried 3 screens as well and its at 50 fps, but as low as 30 ( time for an upgrade though, not RF2's fault there)

AMD HD6870
Core2Duo e8500 @3.83 Ghz
4GB Patriot DDR2

Thanks for posting this!!

 

Same for me when i updated my windows, Might be a net frame work fix, who knows!

 

Nothing was released from ISI, but I too got a new video card driver in Windows Update in my wifes machine. Please folks, if you haven't already, check your drivers are up-to-date.

 

I gt a 65Mb update downloading now!! < RF2 Owner !

 

Oh sweet, ill try the updates thing today. Wasnt really getting alot of stuttering (video lag) but then again im not trying to run rf2 in high detail tho. But its worth a crack if I can get it to run in better quality. Thanks for the post and feedback to the post guys, awesome
