Help please? Anybody? [URGENT]

I can't seem to run this game, I've tried ultra low settings and still no luck.

PC details attached, I honestly need help since I've actually paid for this game and I was looking forward to playing it.

Thanks

 

Those are almost my specs exactly, and Don't expect good fps, you have to settle for <20 fps. I usually just play the grid maps.

 

I honestly don't even get that much FPS, which settings do you apply on the game? It would be cool if you could send me a shot? I'm actually quite disappointed since I really wanted to have fun with this game.

Try to make shader quality on low. try to disable PostFX system, SSAO. No need X filtering etc, you can make mesh quality and light quality on medium.

 

I had the same problem, turn off ssao, turn the shadow settings to lowest, turn lighting to low and the rest on normal

 

Is it possible to manually adjust the FPS limit to say 60?

 

thanks for the help everyone

 

Try setting a lowest light settings. That will give you a good boost, and try it on a grid map.

 

Decreasing the size of the game window actually noticeably increases FPS. With graphics settings on lowest, I can take Gridmap or N-Labs beyond 45 FPS on my notebook running integrated graphics in a 320x200 window.

 

You know I noticed that a couple of days ago, when I make it a smaller screen size the FPS gets better. What notebook do you run from?

 

yes, but only if your comuter can run it at 60+ fps already, which probably isn't useful to you. lol

 

yes, two major things that boost FPS.

-Turn of SSAO wich everyone's suggested
-Run the game in a lower resolution, so your computer doesn't strain itself rendering images multiple times a second with more pixels than it can handle.

Anyway, with that dual core and only 4GB of RAM I'd say you are going to struggle with the simulation itself, and I'd recommend hitting ctrl+W and removing things from your cars to lighten the load you have calculating the physics. remove daft things like lights, mirrors and the exhaust and you'll find a small increase in FPS without affecting the car's 'true' handling , otherwise have fun running with stripped-down cars.

 

I'm kinda surprised you cannot run the game, My dual core notebook with a gpu 4 generations old can run is on low-mid settings. like everyone's said, Turn all settings off, Disable shadows within the editor if you get that far, and remove as many parts from the car as you can to try and get a playable frame rate, other then that, I can only suggest a GPU upgrade as it is more than lacking considering the cpu you have.

 

potato, you graphics card s a rebranded older card and might be a bottleneck.

how do you turn shadows off?

early quad core hence core 2 quad

 

my bad, didn't see that. Still... I'm not terribly surprised

 

Its not for me it's for a friend who bought but can't get to the computer right now

 

Thanks for all the help guys! It runs now :

what will we get for being .drive members anyway? like the guys who purchased alpha?

 

You get the alpha and all subsequent releases. On this site, it means that you have access to the .drive forums.
