F1 2010 Issues...

Fry750 · 10 Jul 2011 at 17:28

Hi guys.

I bought F1 2010 from the Steam sale yesterday and I keep having a fluctuating FPS count.

During the race it'll hit 60 fine and stay (v-sync is on) and then a lap or two later the FPS just halves to approx 20-30 and I've lowered every conceivable setting and it keeps on happening.

Anyone else suffering with a similar issue?

F1 2010 is infamous for it's bugs and poor performance. I cant you help myself since I opted for the xbox version but there are stickies on the official forum and folks who can help you out Im sure.

If I remember, it is something to do with how the game saves your replays, it bogs the whole thing down. Got so bad for me I had to essentially disable the replay feature in order to get a consistent high fps.

Try change it to read only.

Edit: its number 3 on that list

So is that basically like what happens when recording with FRAPS writing multiple gigabyte files to the HDD while playing?
