Lag right before impact

I m trying the new skyjump map and when ever dive off the cliff and right before i impact the ground my screen freezes a second then my car is pancaked. how do i get rid of this?
On a side note, I also cant seem to start a new post without going into Mobile Style, help?

 

The reason it does that is the game is trying to load the crash and freezes, try to lower your setting a little bit.

 

Dang, i just put in a new 7950 and i though i was done with lowering graphics

 

I'm pretty sure it's loading the physics which is the CPU's job. The same thing happens to me when I have a big crash.

 

What sort of CPU do you have? My Q6600 slows down just before crashing but does not lag out.

 

My i7 870 lags out the first time I smash my car/into an object. What I do is brush by it then smash my car once, then do the crash. XD Slo-mo helps too.

 

Doesn't happen with my 870, it only happens on the i5-2410m in my laptop. On my laptop, I just deal with it, just like a 1/2 second of lag

 

It could just be "one of those things", because my i5 540m potato very rarely experiences pre-collision lag.

 

I also get this "Lag Before Impact" I've learned to deal with it and I really don't care about. Here my specs

So I don't think that the CPU is a problem correct me if i'm wrong but the I7-3770K can handle huge load Max clock with turbo boost 3.90 GHz base clock 3.50Ghz may its turbo boost kicking in for us intel users?

 

It happens to me but only the first time I crash, after the first lag I can crash again without any lag. It seems like the first time the game has to load some stuff and that's why it freezes for some time.

 

I thought this just happened to me and that it was because my pc is slow.

 

This always happens,
it is because the game has to load the physics happening in the crash

 

I bet its because it has to load the smashed materials (Glass, lights, etc) when you crash for the first time, but after that the materials are already loaded.

 

Apparently if you have a flash video opened, you dont get the full benefit of your gpu.
Best to have only Drive running without anything else on.
At least it works for me

 

GTX 970 and i7 2600k @4.0GHz lags awfully just before impact. What gives? No way is my CPU or GPU too weak

E: sorry for the bump

 

*sigh* Since you bumped it, might as well help. Since it is loading textures onto ram it's pulling from the harddrive. Is your HDD slow?

 

Wasn't this issue fixed with the PRU release way back in June?

 

well, since it's an issue of drive speeds(in most cases anyway, sometimes it is just the cpu, for example my cpu lags out like crazy when crashing the b-25, which is acceptable because that vehicle is very detailed), really the only thing the devs could do is have the crash textures and all that load into the ram while your loading the map or vehicle (which in turn would cause loading of vehicle or map (depending on which way it's done) to take longer than usual (obviously not a problem on an SSD, but most people are probably still on HDD's))

at least that's my understanding of it

 

That could very much be it, I've been thinking about buying an SSD one of these days, just haven't gotten around it yet. So most likely a good SSD would fix it?
Thanks and sorry about bumping this ancient thread
