bobbert325 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Hi there. When i play rfactor offline the game seems to go in and out of slow motion(like a freeze frame for a split second on and off). It works fine when i'm doing laps on my own but as soon as you do race weekend etc with other cars it does this. Any ideas as to why and if so how to fix it as i want to start f1 and hotrods soon. Mind you i do need a f1 skin. Any takers to do me one please? Many thanks bobbert325 Edited September 10, 2008 by bobbert325
Mike Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 How more cars you add into your race, how the more its asking from your pc, so if you got an old computer with a lower video card and all that stuff it will maybe go in slowmotion like you said because your computer can't handle that much. Ive got an video card of 1GB and its working all fine, dunno what you got...
bobbert325 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 Hi there, I got a ATI mobility radeon 9700 what ever that does????
Kruiz 136 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) I've done some research on that card and it says it has 128mb of onboard memory. That is the bare minimum for rFactor, I know as i had one of similar spec. Also how much RAM have you got? I had the exact same problem as you when I started. Try lowering all the settings as much as possible, if your settings are already on lowest its probably worth considering an upgrade. I now have an nVidia 7950gt which does the job, they can be bought for less than £50 these days I would imagine, I paid £87 used about a year ago. I had 1GB of RAM orginally but upgraded to 2GB, spending £15 on a 1GB stick of RAM. Edited September 11, 2008 by Kruiz 136
matthew413 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 The clue is in the name - Mobility. It's a laptop, so you're going to struggle.
Mr Beef Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I have tried racing online with my laptop which has ATI x1250 256mb graphics card and only got 16-20 FPS. Totally unplayable. Not too bad offline but as soon as you go online with other cars, waste of time.
bobbert325 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 Looks like rfactor is a no go for me then. thanks for the help though. bobbert325
Kruiz 136 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Looks like rfactor is a no go for me then. thanks for the help though. bobbert325 Just to make sure have you put all the graphic settings down to low/off, shader level to dx7, resolution 800x600 and turned anti-aliasing off? It won't look as pretty but you might be able to play it..
bobbert325 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Posted September 13, 2008 Where do i find these settingds to change them? can't see them in the game menu. sorry for being such a muppet. bobbert325
Hutch#331 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 bobbert go in to your rfactor install, usualy located in c drive/ programe files/ rfactor, look for the orange box with the spanner that gives you the settings kruiz has posted
bobbert325 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Posted September 14, 2008 Cheers but to no avail i'm affraid. Looks like i'm gonna have to tell the misses we're getting a pc again lol. Bummer it don't work as it looks the mutts.
