@Dinaatio I dont't think there is anything to do. The game just doesn't run as smoothly as F1 2021 in performance mode.
@Ultrasonic_77 You need to have VRR enabled in the console settings and on the TV. Usually, games don't show anything about VRR, but most TV manufacturers have added some monitoring tools that allow you to see the framerate.
I have tried Performance mode after update 1.12 and it's the same.
Another thing I've noticed is that if you switch graphics modes and play without restarting the game, there is stuttering and tearing in Quality mode as well. If you restart the game, Quality mode is fine and Performance mode seems to run somewhat smoother as well, so it seems something is not working properly when switching graphics modes, but it gets sorted out with a game restart.
@Dinaatio @REDRA-11 I have been experiencing EXACTLY the same issue since august. The past week it started to bug me a lot and I wen't a bit down the rabbit whole with console settings. I use vrr so I can track the fps throughout the lap and Bahrain is the worst by far. Vrr does not solve the issue because a new problem arrives: big fps drops. The fps drop from 100 approx to 60-58 and vrr is not able to smoothen out such big drop su you get a big stutter. However there are two partial solutions to this problem, but both are ridiculous. The first and most effective is to have a game in quick resume. When I open any game before F1 22 and just leave it in the menus or paused, and then switch to F1 22, the game runs at 120 fps flawlessly, not drops, stutters or tearing, perfect 120 fps and the experience is a bliss. The second solution which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't is to use flashback. I have found out that if you use flashback it sometimes gets the 120 fps and runs smoothly for the rest of the session. Like I said, both solutions are ridiculous. I was thinking it was my Xbox series x and was about to send it for repairs, but knowing you have the same issue is somewhat comforting.
It is really annoying that the issue has been here since august, bought the game that month so no previous information on how it ran before, however I was able to run an early version of the game as I have the disc version. I reinstalled it and did not update, played the game and it was SMOOTH 120 fps in all circuits and game modes, sooo smooth. Like I said, the version was a very early version, as a matter of fact Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari all had the generic My Team car design, the same one it appears on the back of the disc box. EA must have dropped the ball somewhere in an update and have refused to fix it but rather give us new liveries every month.
However I have another theory which is before I bought the disc version I played the EA play trial from Gamepass. I don't know if owning that version and the disc one causes the game to work this bad, but it's a theory.
Well, sorry for the long post, but I had to put this out in the open as I think it is a serious bug that makes the game unplayable and not enjoyable at all.
Edit: This happens also in races, not only time trial. The game just can't hit the 120 fps in performance mode.
