Issues unresolved
Intermittent flickering in cockpit view on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs
- Players have reported an issue with Nvidia's Maxwell video cards where a single black frame is rendered at random moments when using cockpit view.[1][2]
Issues fixed
A poster on NoGripRacing details numerous fixes for a number of problems here.
Should it be deleted, the text of the post is as follows:
Issues:
- Low graphics quality
- Low FPS and stutters
- Input lag
- Poor FFB
- Cars feel like floating instead of driving on asphalt
- AA not working
- Settings (car set-up, graphics) do not stick
Solutions:
- Force AF to 16x through the gfx card driver
- https://www.overclock.net/forum/67-amd-ati/979202-shift-2-performance-fixes.html
- Edit
DampeningEnabled="1"
string to"0"
in vehicleset_pc_custom_pad.xml and reselect controller scheme in game (to custom pad of course). Should work with custom wheel file as well. Disbale 'Allow Game To Adjust Settings' in Logitech Profiler. - FFB is different for sure in Shift 2. The one thing really missing is tyre grip in the FFB.
- This is mostly caused by the default set-ups being very loose. See this thread for how to tweak set-ups for more responsive handling.
- Apparently AA in S2U is software-based that makes the 'classic' AA not work. With ATI cards, you can enable Morphological Filtering in the driver, this gives good AA but comes with a huge performance drop. For Nvidia cards, read this thread.
- To save a set-up, use the Shift button. However, there seems to be a bug in the game that reverts changed values to their old values.
Steering input lag
Input lag where you steer but the car doesn't respond for a significant amount of time can be resolved by changing the DampeningEnabled="1"
string to "0"
in vehicleset_pc_custom_pad.xml and reselecting the "Custom" controller scheme in game.[3]
Low frame-rates in Origin version
Disable Origin In-Game |

- ↑ 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>/47920/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (47920) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
