    Hi,

    I have the same problem and it definitely seems to be related to frame generation. As soon as that is turned off, no problems. Congratulations, EA/Codemasters has screwed it up again with a patch...

    Very reasonable response. Frame Gen and AMD Fluid Frames would in essence and by definition not respond well to an ALT-TAB! 

    Another case of gamers abusing a Windows (OS) shortcut. And then crying about it.

    I'm completely confused by this reply. I'm assuming you're being sarcastic because I don't see how alt-tabbing (something that worked on the previous patch with frame gen, btw) is abuse.

    Not being sarcastic. I never ALT-TAB the game (unless I'm maybe in a menu and took it out of Steam fullscreen using ALT-ENTER). You can't expect a program to continue to work glitch free should you use it. If you could before, it's not to say you should. 

    I don't use FrameGen either. Or FSR 3.

    @SteveJackson imagine this. You are new to the game and still have to check why and what everthing is. You want to learn the way to race and also tryout different car setups of other players. You maybe even want to listen to some music in the background and maybe just maybe skip a few songs here and there. If it's not a problem for you then you might not even want to comment on a Problem other players have. This is not helpful nor is this appropriate. Please consider reflecting and do not write such borderline troll comments.
