Issues fixed
Disappearing DLC cars
On rare occasions, the DLC cars may not appear in the menu. There is no known permanent fix for that issue, only a workaround exists.
Workaround[citation needed] |
---|
Try one of the following methods:
|
Ingame objects stuck
Occasionally during game, all objects may stuck. Timer is still working, wheels are spinning, but game stops for a few seconds.
Workaround[5] |
---|
Make sure you are not using Reloaded binary with SweetFX, or your hardware has at least 4GB of RAM. x64 binary may be more stable than x86. |
FPS drops on average machines with high details
Game slows down, works in slow motion, or stutters, drops FPS heavily in some moments.
Notes [6]
- Original, recent version of binaries from Origin performs much slower than other ones with latest patch v1.3 (v1.4.0.0). It points to a problems with Origin DRM's implementation.
FPS drops on low-end machines
Especially on dual core processors, game is unplayable in some extend due to substantial performance problems.

Disable V-Sync[8] |
---|
Use D3DOverrider software to force game to disable V-Sync. It is also recommended to turn on triple buffering in Graphic Card Control Panel. After complying to these steps, it is pointed on FPS boost, and change in the graphic output. |
