Re: After patch V1.14 my screen freezes for a few seconds and FPS drops

@jensilandroid I'm on a desktop.

@jensilandroid Hey, thanks for the settings!

I did 3 benchmarks that were 2 laps long and none of them had freezes, and drove two 3 lap races like you did, and no freezes in either of them. Fingers crossed that this is the case forever!

Hope others get the same luck with this.

@jensilandroid Thanks for the settings advice. I applied all the settings. I did a 5 lap Suzuka Benchmark where two freezes still occured.

However I decided to do a second Benchmark immediately after without restarting the game or touching any settings.

The second Bechmark was completely fine without any freezing issues.

I'll leave everything unchanged for now. I can't tell if it will fix the issue permanently but thanks a lot for sharing the settings.

Can it be due to a bug in some graphic settings? I mean I've changed the shadows setting from ultra high to ultra low and visually it doesn't change anything (also fps are the same)

Sometimes my GPU usage which is normally between 55-65% just all of a sudden drops to 0% and causes the game to freeze. In that exact moment my CPU usage goes from 35% up to 88% for a moment.

It's quite strange since F1 24 is the only game I'm having these issues with that the GPU usage drops to 0% no matter which settings I use.

Yes, it seems that the game stalls the cpu or the gpu...anyway tonight I tried a race in Las Vegas and had lot of stutter freezes, then I did another race only changing the "ambient occlusion" setting from "AMD FidelityFX CACAO" to "HBAO+" and the race went almost smooth (only some minor slow downs but no more freezes)...so if anyone else could try "HBAO+" it would be interesting to notice if that was only luck or if that setting really matters...

hello 

I also have this freezing problem 

And you're right. GPU changes to 0 

This problem is from the game itself and the developers themselves must fix it 

We can't do anything 

For those getting the issues on PC, I recommend the settings that this person has, they fixed it for me,

Hello @CombinedYoutuber,

Assuming you have deleted the hardware settings folder after the 1.15 patch installation, I am not sure what else can be causing these issues to you.

Let me drop my NVIDIA Control Panel settings as well as my in-game and other settings for F1 24:

Please note I cap my FPS to 60 from NVIDIA control panel. In the game settings, I leave Frame Limit to off and keep it maximum as possible.

Game settings below:

VIDEO MODE:

Graphics Settings:

Additionally, I have TURNED OFF Game Mode on my Windows settings.

Apart from this, I do the following settings as well. Open Start and search for Graphics Settings, something like the below will popup.

Click on options and CHECK the box, Don't use optimization for windowed games:

Final thing that I have done is, I have CHECKED the box, Don't use optimization for windowed games for F1_24.exe file located in the installation folder.

Since I don't know if you are on a laptop, or desktop, you need not copy my settings as I have set.

But there is no harm if you could try with these to see if it will fix the stutter thing.

I have been running these same settings since F1 22, and I am sticking to even with current F1 24.  

Also, I would recommend you try verifying game files once again via steam.

Sorry for the lengthy thread.

Regards,

Jensil Dsouza
