    Exactly the same problems here with the HP-RG2 here.

    Reverted again back to non-RC. Smooth picture. Back to RC - rough picture.
    It makes no difference if sound channels are set to 256 or 32/64.

    Later today we'll have another RC update where you can turn sparks off, can people who are having stutters please give it a test to see if it fixes the issue for you?
    Edit: There were also some fixes in the earlier RC release, so that could also help some of you.

    I'm not getting stutters but I'm getting full PC lock ups and restarts, it's happened many times if I esc to pit in practice or qualifying. It will black screen with a audio loop stutter and my PC will restart.
    5760x1080 Gsync capped to 141fps with 3080/10600k/ 16gb at 3800c16 max settings except rain drops at high amd 19 Ai at Sebring at 8am.
    What else can I provide.


    Edit, my audio is set to 64, spotter off, headphones.

    The rc he mentioned didn't arrive yet. So we'll have to wait.

    Tested again with the latest RC and still the same. I'll be looking for the update to turn off the sparks, because I still suspect that could be the problem.

    Why about 70% of the time i try a wet race the track doesn't render the wet track surface properly and i have black puddles and no reflections? I need to restart many times to get the correct looking track surface?

    No more sttutering with my settings (SFX off). With SFX=medium the stuttering returns. 100% reproducible in SPA (Ou Rouge) with 9 McLaren 720 GT3 (all oficial content). i3770k@4.4Ghz + GTX 1080 @2000 + Fanatec stuff
    Thank you !! ;)

    Same here, no more stuttering (or sparks) with Special Effects off or low and stuttering (and sparks) returns with Special Effects set to medium.

    To follow up on my post 3 posts up, I've cleared cbash and shaders and also verified files in Steam. This issue happens upon every run of the game, I've not had a play without it happening. I mainly run Sebring as it looks amazing when it works.

    Surely this is a common issue with how frequent I get it or is it a hardware releated issue with my 3080 and my current driver? All driver settings are default other than performance prefered and gsync with surround enabled.

    I can confirm that the stuttering is gone when SFX are at low. Could be reproduced

    Today I tried the new update. I can confirm that sparks cause stutters. I didn't spend too much time with it, I didn't even try to set special effects to low. But even If I just increased the ride height I got much less stutter so I'm sure it's something to do with the sparks. I hope the guys can optimise this, because it looks cool!

    You may have a mod tied to the 3rd party Donnington, Remove any mod tied to it. Delete the 3rd party track to be safe. Use Mod Manager to root out mods tied to Donnington. Once it's all clear of other stuff, unsubscribe from the new Donnington, let it re-download and then try and join your server again.

    The fix currently is to lower the special effects to medium or low. That will turn off the sparks but also prevent the stutters.
