[Filip Fojt]

Well in that case I would leave the space for subtitues if there any..? I'd like to go straight 2 races for license, so I'll try my luck next season. Sorry for this, didn't know earlier.

Well, I forgot to check back here before the race, and I just realized I got last last minute a seat, oh well, my presence won't be missed, but if I had noticed it earlier I could have been more of use for my drivers

 

[Fran Luque]

[Wouter Bosschieter]

Sorry Mr. Arena for ruening you race, the incident was my fault, wanted to let you pass but faulty executed.

 

[Aidan Millward]

Congrats to everyone that took part. I need to learn how to handle worn tyres.

 

[Jimmi Allison]

That was not a complete waste of time
Actually had fun, back on track except a very few odd races (2 or 3 iirc) for the last 8 years.
There were this Porsche that thought i was not there, but other than that it was enjoyable

Lots of talent on track for sure.

Probably your internet? or backbone from you to the server. This is hosted in Paris in case you are wondering.

[Lorenzo Rossi]

while I was stopped to refuel, someone hit me at 28388489 km / h destroying my car !! I would like to know if I will also be penalized for the contact. how should i behave? what should I do?

yes, I had a good time with you. we race fairly at a good distance, time-based. I really enjoyed the race, I tried to keep myself cool, tried not to be involved in useless battles and race at a very very comfortable pace. Let's see what will happen at Interlagos with the gt3.

 

[Bill Worrel]

Watched Carlos' stream on my TV and Enrico's stream on my laptop. Looked like a fun race for most. Congrats to all who finished.

You must have forgotten because it’s in the rules.

You could have at least waved on the way past

My Race was good on Start and very bad in the End. In the middle of the Race my TS was disconnected and can not reconnect. I dont hear the second Code 80 and smashed in my Teammate Lukas . Big sorry for that and i hope its not the end of my Licence hopes

The Problem with this Disconnects i had also in the Fanatec 12h Sebring Race. everytime there are more then 30 Cars on Server i have this and rf2 uses my bandwide. In this time i can not open websites and other things with internetconnection. After disconnect from rf2 Server i can use all the other things. My Settings in rf2 network is 256k cable i think. On weekend i will search for my logs and send this to jimmy and i hope i can find the problem.

256k??? r u serious?? let me post a little guide for rf2 settings

 

[Marco Intrieri]

Network settings
this step is very important, you must set this settings to fit your connection speeds.

Join a server, when you are in the car selection list, click BACK

and then NETWORK SETTINGS. These are my settings (i have 70mbit in download and 20 in upload)(note that upload in rf2 is the first in the list)

please set your network speeds by following these guide lines

Internet connection / Recommended network settings
1/512: Downstream: 1 mbps / Upstream: 512 kbps
2/512: Downstream: 2 mbps / Upstream: 512 kbps
4/1: Downstream: 4 mbps / Upstream: 1 mbps
10/1: Downstream: 10 mbps / Upstream: 1 mbps
20/2: Downstream: 20 mbps / Upstream: 2 mbps
20/20: Downstream: 20 mbps / Upstream: 20 mbps
50/50: Downstream: 20 mbps / Upstream: 20 mbps
100/100: Downstream: 20 mbps / Upstream: 20 mbps
300/300: Downstream: 20 mbps / Upstream: 20 mbps
500/500: Downstream: 20 mbps / Upstream: 20 mbps

You should NOT go below 512kbps - if you dont have the connection, please do not race in an international league - and there is no need to go past the 20 mbps.

GRAPHICS

Launcher video settings

In your launcher, go in video settings, and ensure under GPU you have the proper video card, not AUTO. Check this every time you launch rf2. Check if you have the proper refresh rate as well.

You can use anti-aliasing level 5 without issues.
For post effect, use max LOW setting when you want to race, and use MEDIUM-HIGH-ULTRA only for screenshots and videos.

If you want to use v-sync, use only the VIDEO v-sync.

My settings

In-game options

This really varies from pc to pc, my specs are: i7 6700k, gtx 970, 16gb ram, single full-hd monitor.
And these are my settings:

Circuit details: can be high-full without issues
Player details: can be high full without issues
Opponent details: is an issue if you put it high-full. It controls both the cars details as the livery details, having 40 livery in 4k in the race is an issue! So use low-medium when racing, and high-full only for screenshots and video.
Texture details: Can be full if you have a good GPU, otherwise use high.
Texture filters: i always used aniso x16 without issues, the game looks really sharp. Use x8 only if you have a weak GPU.
Special effects: is useless to have it higher than low, use low.
Shadows: This controls how many shadows you see, assuming the track creator did a good optimization job. Since this is almost never the case and shadows have a big impact on performance, use low.
Shadow blur: Useless and really heavy on performance, use off.
Soft particles: Any setting higher than low is useless and heavy, use low.
Rain drops: Cool, but heavy, low is enough when it's raining. When is not raining, set it to off, because it has a performance impact even if it's sunny with 50°C! If you plan to do a wet race, use low, if not, use off.
Road reflection: You see road reflections only with a wet track, use low, is enough. If you use off with a wet track, you are not able to recognize if the track is wet or not, so off is not recommanded.
Environment reflections: These are the reflections of the track object over the car, cool, but heavy if you have a weak GPU. With a weak GPU, use off, otherwise low is enough. Note, car reflections runs at very lof fps, they don't looks so cool. That's why you better use off when racing.
Visible vehicles: with a weak GPU, use ~10, otherwise ~20 is the right compromise.
Auto detail fps: use always off, otherwise you will see broken cars.


REPLAY

Turn off replay recording, it can causes stuttering and freezes, we provide you the race replay, so you don't need to record a replay.
Set the replay options as this screenshot

PLAYER.JSON

The Player.json is located in ...\rFactor 2\UserData\player
Open it with a text editor (notepad) and search:

"Headlights On Cars" - set this to false
"Max Headlights" - set this to 2
"Garage Detail" - set this to 0.1 (note, 0.1 and not 0,1)
"Max Framerate" - set this to whatever refresh rate you use + 1 (or +3 or +7)
Mine is a 60hz monitor, so i set "Max Framerate":67,
with a 120hz monitor set 121, 123 or 127 and so on.
I also use VIDEO v-sync in the laucher video settings, and rf2 is the smoothes game i have.
