It appears some wheels/system combos can't keep up with our increased force feedback update rates, reducing framerates significantly. It does not seem to affect every wheel or every spec specifically or equally. We are still investigating this issue.
In the meantime, two things you can try which will almost certainly fix the problem while still giving you much more detailed force feedback than before are:
1) Set the FFB to 'low' instead of medium / high / full ("Low" is in fact the recommended setting in any case for pure steering rack forces);
2) If that alone does not fix it:
- Go to Userdata\yourname and open up controller.ini
- Find the line near the bottom of the file:
FFB Skip Updates="1" // Some drivers can't handle a quick FFB update rate so use this parameter to skip the given number of updates (0=full, 1=half, 2=one-third, 3=one-quarter, etc.)
- Increase this number one at a time so first try 2, then 3, then 4 etc.
Verify how these increments improve on your issue, and then please post here your exact system specs, wheel, windows version, sim hardware etc so we can try reproduce and isolate the issue.

Thanks for the info. I think your performance issues are unrelated to this issue though, and those specs are unfortunately really borderline no matter the setting.
