Yeah I thought that when watching it back early on.

It is a very enjoyable game. I would have happily paid a fiver or maybe even a tenner for this let alone a freebie.

The rain handling of higher power/LMP cars is very interesting!

I haven't played this in ages, but went to play it last night and I kept getting stuttering.

AB is showing my core and memory clocks keep dropping to about half what they should be at regular intervals for a split second. Its not a temperature issue.

No issues with other games.

Any one know of a fix? Ta.

What is your system specs? Mess about with video settings see if the stuttering stops if you lower settings etc

Spec in my sig, I did try that last night, will have another go later. I did read on Reddit that turning off Game DVR in the Xbox app might fix it, will try that too later.

Last time I played it was with my old 780, so since then its been new card, drivers and the Win 10 Anniversary update...

I wouldn't wait around though, Windows 10 won't be a free upgrade for much longer. Not to mention Windows 10 is far superior to Windows 7 and 8/8.1.

+1

Moving from Win 7 to 8.1 was disappointing, Moving from 8.1 to 10 was not problem free but close too and it is a lot better, I'm as happy with Win 10 as I was with Win 7.

Well 1070 should have no issues running this game maxed out. You using Gsync? Try in video option settings target frame rate to 60fps without vsync.

I know vsync on Windows 10 games stuttered when Gsync and Freesync was used.

Same issue, Nvidia 980ti, massive stuttering. fps counter showed solid 60fps but I use the Nvidia Adaptive V Sync option, removing this and turning on in game v sync, stuttering vanished. Silky smooth again.

If you haven't tried this, try that.

It does leave you wanting more doesn't it.. Shame its just a tech demo. Great potential ... Wish my wheel worked with it.

Sega Mega Dave · 12 Aug 2016 at 16:46

Do you need the Xbox app installed to play this or play any games from Microsoft store?

pingu666 · 12 Aug 2016 at 22:20

?vimeo has higher bitrate? might get better results there

Sega Mega Dave · 6 Sep 2016 at 20:09

This is leaving beta today and will include wheel support.

Not played it myself but surely makes a great F2P game now wheels can be used.

Shame they haven't supported ultra wide though, maybe soon.

sgavan · 6 Sep 2016 at 20:12

Just updating now will try it later or tomorrow

TonyTurbo78 · 6 Sep 2016 at 20:12

wow amazing news...finally

sgavan · 6 Sep 2016 at 20:52

Just tried it with my Fanatec CSR and it works really well, I think I am sold on it, just need a full release now

Sega Mega Dave · 6 Sep 2016 at 20:54

Do you need the xbox app installed to run it? Mine never opens it just comes up with an error.

I think you do, it uses an xbox live account which is or should be your windows login account provided you have this linked to a MS account or an xbox live account.

You can use both a windows account and an xbox live account using one single sign in, and you don't even need an MS account to do that. I use my google account, I signed up for an xbox account using my google account, login to Windows and my X1 using my google email address and installed the xbox app from Windows 10 store and it all uses the same login. Fairly simple really.

Just tried on a G29...wow lmao. What kind of mickey mouse steering wheel support is this :eek:

Nothing to set steering wheel degrees of turn, no setting of full lock.

In game the slightest of turn on the wheel on any corner of any notable speed and the oversteer is off the charts. There's just no feel to it at all, either tons of understeer or snap oversteer doing doughnuts.
