This game is driving me up the wall - constant penalties for 'corner cutting'.

I am not very good at this game, this much is evident, but the constant penalties are driving me insane. I am not gaining time when I 'cut' corners. I'm not even cutting corners, most of the time I'm going wide or or slowing to 10mph in gravel.

I even managed to get 'disqualified' despite the 'cut' I took leading straight to a wall, which I collided with!

Surely you should only be penalised when you gain an advantage? Giving me a disqualificating from the race when I am reversing out of my crash back onto the track is stupid!

I have received quite a few grid penalties for simply turning back onto the track. It is weird. Other times I get no penalty for even cutting the corner. You can turn them off though.

What got me was how stupidly easy it was at medium and hard difficulty - I do love the challenge of extreme though, even if I do suck :p

While running.

I get about 60-90fps with the occasion dip down to early 50's, ive not seen it any lower than that though. Only with vsync off, with vsync on, it was about 30-45

Both above are at 1920x1200 with everything set to max other than AA at 4x

ATI or Nvidia?

I have heard of someone with Crosfire ATI cards claiming to have the same issue but that could be cause by crossfire and be a completely different issue, all the rest seem to be GTX 2xx and GTX 4xx users.

My mate just tried that for you and it was normal green but stuck at 32fps.

This was on a GTX275 OC and Q9550 and 4gig of ram..windows 7 64(same setup as me).
What I did notice is that when I OC his Q9550 from 2.8 to 3.6ghz the game still thought it was 2.8ghz :confused:

I think I will get this now(maybe).

was his GPU usage quite low while he is on track?

You're getting penalties for "Driving outside the confindes of the track", for some reason, it's just showing as cutting corners.

Also did he check the dpc latency while he was out driving on the track? as its fine for me in the menu's but once you hit the track it shoots up.

The widget dump said
Vendor: NVIDIA
Name: GeForce GTX 275
GPU Clock: 633MHz
MEM Clock: 1134MHz
Shader Clock: 1404MHz
GPU Temp: 50C
PCB Temp: 42C
GPU Usage: 0%
MCU Usage: 0%
VPU Usage: 0%

BUT he saw the GPU usage at 70% so that software does not seem to work.
He did say that he changed the sound to software and got 8fps more. The dpc latency was normal green.
But he is un-happy so he is going to swop it for the PS3 version.

I hope that helps.

EDIT= His settings was Ultra but turned down the shadows and turned off Blur.

NightSt@lk3r same boat as you no matter what setting low or ultra, crap frame rate using gtx460.

Edit: Betas help a little tho..the game runs fast but rubbish frame rate if you get my drift.

Received the game today and to let everyone know, It runs real smooth on my system([email protected], ATI 3870, 8GB mem) all set at high accept for medium on the shadows at 1280x1024, vsync on. I haven't tried the shadows on high yet.

At the end of the day all games need to be able to run on consoles, so they cant be that demanding. I say bring out pc only games again cos they will really test our systems.

I quite like games not being so demanding tho because I dont have to upgrade so often anymore and thats a good thing. :cool:
