It's a NVidia GTX 860m 2GB card, (gaming laptop). Could have been running too hard. Turning V-Sync off definitely helped. Previously I used to run without V-Sync and I pretty much maxed all the GFX settings to try and get to a near constant 60fps. If it keeps happening I'll try turning a few settings down.

Previously I used to run without V-Sync and I pretty much maxed all the GFX settings to try and get to a near constant 60fps. If it keeps happening I'll try turning a few settings down.Managed to play a couple of hours with a couple of small glitches but no freezing like yesterday. Annoyingly I did a full hour qualifying then AC crashed on the start line of the race. Again perhaps too hot, will turn down a couple of other graphics settings.Had another run in the 458 but this time turned ABS, traction and stability off which I found make it play a bit nicer. Managed a 1:50.1 which is my PB but still can't break into the 1:40s Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Mar 10: Season 6 Car Testing « Reply #34 on: March 10, 2015, 08:19:24 AM » Quote from: Joe on March 09, 2015, 11:43:17 PMIs there a race tomorrow?

It's not part of the regular season yet. It would be a good idea to come along, fire up Teamspeak etc. Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Wobblyone Jr. Member Posts: 186 Karma: 2 Adrenalin is brown...

Is it ok I haven't got TS yet still waiting for a new headset to turn up after mine got eaten lol...I assume we are running at the track on the server at present? Going to be interesting in a race start with the differences in acceleration between the cars and a flat out first few corners...gulp.

I always happened 'around' other cars, ie going past the pits with one or more cars in the pits, giving me one or me freezes per car.and a new graphics card later In the mean time, may be reduce the graphics, turn down mirror options, smoke and heat shimmer.... others here will know better.

[/quote]Ha ha yea seem to be doing good time for x bow I think, but different in traffic can't get good lap times as the braking points mid corner speed is so different, off the line I get killed by ferraris...in fact by everything need to practice starts lol. I'm crapping myself actually...will be my first race online in 3 years...and struggle with sense of depth view, knowing where other cars are compared to race 07 rfactor, also notice u only have to touch another car and it goes flying..not like rfactor where u can bash door handles ok.

Any tips on getting better POV I'm at 120% already on in game settings....temped to get 2 more 40" TVs that would be epic lol Logged Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2321 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: Mar 10: Season 6 Car Testing « Reply #42 on: March 10, 2015, 01:23:02 PM » No, Vallelunga is not too narrow.I wouldn't use tellys to start with. They are usually laggier than monitors, etc. But up to you.We run (a few of us including me) triple monitor setups, it works for a good wide view. Otherwise (and even on a triple setup tbh), set your "look left/right" buttons up and use them.

Only been playing AC a few weeks and the only online racing I've done is Forza where people just smash into each other. Think I'm going to be extra cautious.

We do have our moments however Just keep to your side of the track and don't run into the back of anyone. The guys behind you must also make sure they don't run into you.
