Grat could it be stracker related in some way, MR really should have no impact on clients individualy as its fully server side. If it has a negative effect it will effect all in the same way, I suspect the odd random pings spike may be caused if MR local auth is updating the latest list and someone is trying to join a server at the same time. This causes all pings to rise fairly high for a few seconds but then comes back.

The race nite server doesnt run stracker so possibly something between it and ptracker could cause this. Its never happened to me but its more likely, I would suggest downloading the latest experimental build and also checking in settings of ptracker for the higher fps options.

Also helicorsa could be doing something so maybe look at updating tonthe latest version of this as inside an MR server it will also update to show grades for all other cars around you.

Hi Marty: Thank you. I'll look into it, although I think I remember the little freezes came even with ptracker and helicorsa disabled in UI.

Seeing MR is only doing things on the server there should be no actual performane impact from it to any clients. I dont k ow why things would only happen on my server vs the race nite as there are usually more people in tbe server on tuesdays so thats unlikely to be the issue.

The only difference between the 2 is I run MR and Stracker which wally doesnt and of those only stracer would have an effect if the client is also running ptracker. If not then the server side apps should have no impact on users game performance but may have an impact on connections and pings due to server load at times.

I'm getting similar freezes since latest AC release. Not sure if 1.5 or one of the subsequent patches. Haven't isolated it to specific servers yet. It happens a couple of times early in a session then goes away. Graphics drivers were also updated during that time. So who knows what the cause is

What 3rd party apps are you running? does the same happen if you load a full field of AI? are all the apps up to date and possibly there could be some issue in your assetto corsa documents folder so you can try rename this and start fresh then move over your user settings 1 by 1 seeing if its one of these causing the issue.

Checking your AC logs searching for errors may helpo identify what the issue is, for me its been no different to pre 1.5 but I dont download too many mods and very rarely any of the dodgy ripped mods. In terms of in game apps I only run Wally's PLP, Helicorsa and Ptracker as 3rd party apps. Anything else I run is an official app or an official dev app.

I also dont use v-sync but have a fps cap at 62, settings wise I also drop smoke to very low when playing as this has always had some fps issues ingame especially at starts. However recording videos I max everything out and it seems fps aren't hit much at all now maxed but I record in single screen but play in triples. The actual in game look between very low smoke and ultra is so hard to tell the difference I don't think its worth using even if it only costs a couple fps.

"D" - all of the above. Could be anything causing it and it isn't a big enough issue for me to go through this hassle of deleting and resetting everything.

Marty: thanks a lot for all the suggestions. As for Gratulin: it is such a small issue, I can probably live with it. I did for the past like... 6 months, and I had fun.

The only 3rd party apps I run that you don't are FFBClip and Wally's tyre engineer (but only recently). They are not up on the screen most of the time, they are both the newest ones, and they do not seem to make much difference anyway in terms of performance. The only app I noticed making a difference is ptracker. I don't know if it is the latest one as it is updated so often I lost it. It has been disabled in the past weeks, though, as after 1.5 it was giving me troubles a bit.

I need to use v-sync because otherwise I get some stuttering or some tearing (depending on the cap I use). In general I think I reached a very decent compromise, and I am a bit scared of changing anything
