Vsync stuttering

On some configurations Vsync stuttering may appear, resulting in huge frame rate drops.
Vsync Stuttering[citation needed]
  • Force triple buffering in your Nvidia/ATI panel
  • Force vsync off.[2]
  • Alternatively, Nvidia users may also try Adaptive Vsync.

Framerate Issues

Steam Overlay is poorly implemented, and can cause framerate problems when playing.
Disable Steam Overlay
  • Right click on 'Ridge Racer™ Unbounded' in your Steam library, and click 'Properties'.
  • Uncheck the 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game', and close the window.
  • Restart the game if it was already running.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/202310/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (202310) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
