Constant juddering, stuttering and tearing in Performance mode

Product: F1 22
Platform:Xbox Series X
Summarize your bug While playing in Performance mode, there is constant juddering, stuttering and tearing, which was not present in F1 2021. It is easily noticeable around Bahrain. Restarting the game sometimes alleviates this.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? MSKE-GBHK-RBBG-GAEG
Which area is the bug/glitch in? TT
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Did you have cross-play enabled? Yes
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set "Graphics Priority" to "Performance". Go to TT. Go to Bahrain. Start a flying lap. While driving, there will be constant juddering, stuttering and tearing. See the attached demo videos.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is constant juddering, stuttering and tearing, which makes the gameplay feel less smooth and consistent than in F1 2021.
What do you expect to see? Smooth performance, as in F1 2021.

Workarounds that do not work:
- Disable virtual rear view mirror

- Disable ghosts in TT

- Reset camera settings to default values

- Run the game with the console in offline mode so there is no background networking

- Disconnect the external HDD from the console so there is no background activity from it

- Do a full shutdown of the console

- Clear the system cache by unplugging the power cable and attempting to turn it on

- Change the Xbox background from a dynamic background to a solid colour

    @Dinaatio I can answer that, it doesn't work. I deleted everything in every possible way (all possible xbox dashboard ways and inside the game itself). I even tried using a different account, but again nothing. Lost everything, but I was only in Imola in the first season of My Team. I haven't been able to play that much, 50% races require a lot of energy. The peripherals part is interesting because I game on controller and no wheel or headset so that is clearly not the case. Maybe it is the Xbox after all and we are trying to blame EA, but Ockham's razors says otherwise, it must be EA. I don't know if this is the case with you, but I hate having multiple games opened. I play a game and immediately close it. It's a habit I have from PS4 of closing applications and only having the game I am playing running. So maybe all these people take advantage of Quick Resume and we do not. Also, I always unplug my Xbox at night because I don't trust my apartment's old wiring and country's power grid (Chile). I prefer to unplug it than have a fried Xbox. Maybe that also could be the reason, but I sincerely doubt it because power cycling the console helps rather than hurts. Like I said before, Ockham's razor states that EA are the problem here and not the Xbox.

    @matiassuau96 I am the same way as you, always having only one thing open at the time.

    After experimenting with your method of having something open in the backgroud I can confirm that you’re onto something. I tried a few things and found something interesting. I had the game open, TT on Bahrain, the usual stuttering test circuit. I’m on 1440p/120hz on performance mode and it’s stuttering as usual. I then paused the game and went to Xbox Home, opened Youtube and once it’s opened I opened up the game again. No stuttering like you said. Now we never closed youtube but it sort of auto closes itself (there’s no ”quit” on the menu either) so it shouldn’t be causing any ”extra stress” since it’s not actually open anymore.

    Don’t know if you were aware of this but I think this might be the best we’ve got. Clearly a some sort of problem with the game on XsX. I haven’t been able to test much yet so I’m not sure if the this fixes the issue for the whole play session. But at least temporarily it works, without having anything open in the background. I’m eager to hear how it works for you guys.

    @Dinaatio YouTube worked fine, I just don't get it why we can't run the game at 120fps in performance mode. I was reading some forums in Codemasters website on F1 2021 and several people had a very similar issue with stuttering and fps drops. I don't know if it was solved by EA. Yet again, I still don't discard a console issue.

    @matiassuau96 I don’t know how to check the exact live fps but are we getting that 120fps with the youtube trick?

    And I’ve tried other games with 120fps and they have worked flawlessly, so it’d be very strange and seem unlikely to me that this could be a console issue. Since F1 22 is the only game that I’ve had fps problems. We could try to ask Microsoft support but they probably won’t know any better.

    @Dinaatio Been playing Grid Legends and Dirt 5 and not a single frame has been dropped by my Xbox. It's clearly the game now.

    I tried it again and it seems that most of the stuttering and tearing that appears after switching graphics modes is gone after a game restart. I also checked the PS5 version and it doesn't have this problem with switching graphics modes. It seems that having the desired graphics mode set before starting the game doesn't guarantee the game works properly. It still stutters and tears on the 1st start after turning on the console until quitting and restarting it. @EA_Kent
