    I had a unusual thing happen today.
    I changed from Bilinear to 4x Anisotropic filtering in the rF2 settings. I was in a race with the AI and my game froze for a second, screens went black for maybe 4 seconds and came back on. Once they were back on, everything was fine. A few minutes later it did the same thing again. I have not had this trouble before. I don't know if it is related to the change I made or not. I will test more to see what happens.
    I have my driver set to Application Controlled now, it was set to 4x before and had been that way since I got rF2, I believe.

    My driver is 301.42, which I installed after getting rF2 a few months ago. I was using a very old driver 182.50, but rF2 didn't work well with it. However, until today, I have had no issues at all with the newer driver.

    Both instances are the same, just different time stamps.

    Okay, thank you.
    I just played again, pretty much the entire time since posting above and no problem with Filtering set to Trilinear.
    I still may change the driver though.
