lagspikes

Hello, i'm having some serious issues with frame drops. They usually occur every few seconds because the game is loading in stuff along the way. When i first installed, i didn't seem to have this problem, it's only occured lately. I've tried reinstalling completely twice. I've verified game cache. I've repaired the folders. It only happens when i'm driving fast, because then it struggles to load textures like trees on the roadside and such. I'm playing on the lowest possible options.

Specs:

Intel i5-7300HQ @ 2.50 ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
8gb RAM
Note: system automatically clocks CPU to 3.0 when running games and other intensive programs

Everything else seems to be in order, too.

edit: The game seems to be running just fine when launched manually with the .exe file and selecting my gtx 150 as the video card. (my laptop has a reserve graphics card if my 1050 should die)

 

I don't think that's the problem. I have a 150% boosted integrated fan and a water cooling stand. It usually never goes over 58-60 degrees, and it runs fine in other super intensive games too.

 

That doesn't seem to be the issue either for some reason. It's like the game forgets that i've been somewhere and then has to load it all in again. Could be something to do with the low graphics settings, because the game loads in the trees and other objects along the roads in as you along. It seems to be the optimisation being kind of counter-productive.

 

Yes. I just tried Utah, ETK driver center and Hirochi Raceway and all of them had this issue. It's also happened on other maps in the past. i think it's the whole game, not just a specific map.
