Automobilista 1 stuttering

[Luckyluke76]

Hi all, recently I've bought a new PC but when I play with AMS, every 3 laps stuttering comes for 10 to 15 seconds ruining my game experience.
I've read here and there some solutions to try to solve it, but nothing seems to work. Nvidia Inspector, Riva Tuner doesn't change anything. I've disabled SweetFX and Vsync, in game spotter or reduced level of shadows or shadow blur, the number of visible vehicles and in game movies. I don't use DynHUD but even renaming D3D9.dll doesnt' solve the problem. I've tought that maybe it's linked with the EEC GT3 carset that i use, but I've tried also with official Reiza stuff and it's the same. Please someone can help me ?

My system specs are as follows :

OS Windows 10
Intel I7 9700 3.60 Ghz
32Gb Ram
GeForce RTX 2080 Super

Thanks.

Try to disable time progression from in-game options

Disabled Time Scale as you said and problem solved. Thanks DaVeX.
Can I ask you which problem it causes on high spec PCs ?

Also if you are racing at night try reducing the number of visible lights. It's found in the PLR file. It'll say something along the lines of,

Max Headlights="12"

That drastically improves performance. You may have an absolute weapon of a PC but it's still an old engine it is running on.

It a graphic engine issue since rF days, can be fixed only reworking the game engine but means rewriting half of it (source: Reiza devs).

AMS2 seems to suffer too a little. Changes of weather and time cause stuttering on my PC.

@DaVeX↯
After solving the problem as of your suggest, yesterday i've had the brilliant idea to delete the AMS Nvidia profile and create a new one assuming that the problem was solved only managing the Time Scale in game.

Now when I play again AMS (with time scale off) stuttering has come back.

I presume that I have to modify some options of my AMS profile via Nvidia Inspector, but I don't remember which ones....
Can you give me or suggest me which other parameters are useful ?

Thanks again and sorry for the incovenience.

It's in the readme when you launch the game.

Follow @Dethrone1427 suggestion or import this file on Profiler (Reiza suggested config + additional tweaks) just rename it as .ini (instead of .txt).

 

[Luckyluke76]

Can you please explain step by step how to import your file on Profiler ? I can't understand.

Thanks.

Simply rename it as Automobilista.ini, then open Profiler, there should be a small icon with a green arrow (to be honest are 2 but you will figure it) which says Import, load the file and that's it!

Is this in Nvidea Inspector?
Thanks.

Yes
Keep in mind I am with a GTX970 but this works on bigger and newer cards too (my friends tested it for me)

PS: Just check if the file points the correct .exe folders (it is based on mines and you need to fix them manually), I forgot to say this, sorry!

 

[Luckyluke76]

Sorry DaVeX but my Nvidia Inspector says that can't import that file.
It accepts only .txt or .nip file extensions : I've renamed it automobilista.txt but the problem is the same as above.

I think that (maybe) the only way is to have a .nip file extension (Nvidia Inspector Profile) : can you export yours like that and send it to me ?
If you want you can send it by PM.

Thanks again.

Success

Renamed automobilista.nip and imported it, now I am testing.

Yeah, as I said you need to rename it as Automobilista.nip, after that check it is pointing to right folder and .exe

 

[Luckyluke76]

Unfortunately neither your profile is working.
I think I'll search something else on forums and try until I solve it.

By the way thanks for your help.

I was able to help with stuttering in this thread. Have a look may be of help to you.

[Luckyluke76]

Thanks M. Guenette but using Riva doesn't solve the problem.

I never had a problem until I changed to triples. Now I have stutter and none of these suggestions seem to help.
