For me the issue is also still there, but it has definetely gotten better.
I've tried to do a race on every night race in the grand prix mode a few minutes ago and I came to the conclusion that on Bahrain and Abu Dhabi the issue for me has been fully fixed, on Qatar, Las Vegas and Jeddah the issue has gotten better, but I still experience some FPS drops there. In Singapore I can't experience any improvements at all. Maybe just a tiny bit, but I still have a lot of lags and FPS drops when racing in Singapore on night.
So for me it hasn't been fully fixed, but made the issue less effecting which is already a good step forward.
Yeah, there's still issues and it's worse on some tracks than others.
Other thing I've noticed is that the transition between sunset and night also has lower FPS.
And in regards to the weird visual glitches that appear on the horizon when night time arrives, setting Lighting quality to low gets rid of these completely, but FPS are still on the lower side.
@RallerZZDid a test in Bahrain after the patch and discovered a quick fix for the horizon glitch when the sun sets.
Once the sunset glitch happens during the race, go into the settings and change the lighting quality then go back into the race. Immediately do it again and set the lighting quality back to where you had it and the smoke/fog glitches are gone. I'm still seeing some weird light reflections on the halo and this trick has be done each time the glitch happens unfortunately. .Turns out changing the lighting quality prevents the time of day from progressing. For example, in Bahrain on lap 8 the fog glitch occurs mid way through the lap. When I changed the lighting quality the fog glitch went away but the time of day got stuck right at the point where the sun moves under the horizon and never changed after that. The rest of the race was stuck at dusk.
Changing volumetric fog in the hardware settings file prevents the glitch in Bahrain but also locks the time of day and prevent it from progressing.
The most accurate way to enjoy Bahrain in GP mode is to race at midnight with volumetric fog disabled. It looks very good.
This needs to get fixed soon!
@Hansenhaus For Bahrain I can confirm this, the lighting quality setting is completely messed up for sunset/night time races.
But you can also test it on Jeddah, Qatar and Singapore, FPS is greatly affected by the lighting quality setting.
I always have everything maxed out, so when I opened the game after the update, I hopped on Qatar and I had abysmal frames.
As a hunch, I lowered the lighting quality setting and with each one, FPS would increase, only setting it to low makes the night races playable without losing frames.
