@Dinaatiobut not many games have you driving at ridiculously fast speeds a few inches from the ground plus Walls at street circuits won’t higher frame rates off 120 upwards. Being sent from one machine(PC/console) to another (TV/monitor) where in most cases both were designed and built by different manufacturers using different hardware/software: Monitors are better because like you say they have minimal settings so don’t interfere with the information it’s displaying:
But Smart TVs with so many different display setting plus third party tv apps always running in the background that can cause issues with games frame rates.
Not to mention you always get the guy ( my best mate) who has the super expensive best and latest Pc and Monitor then use cheap 3 for £5 leads/cables they bought From Amazon 🤷♂️
My first post Was actually replying to OP ( didn’t notice I used quick reply and tagged you . I do apologise)as he/she or non binary said they were using an Xbox and most consoles are generally connected to a tv😀
Forgive my ignorance of XBOX S/X but does something need to be done to enable VRR? Provided the screen supports this I'd expect VRR to prevent significant screen tearing...
@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.
@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.
@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.
@Dinaatio YouTube locks the game at 120fps. This issue is really starting to bug me a lot.
@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
@REDRA-11 That doesn't work for me, the fps drops still are there. However the YouTube glitch works perfectly. This is absolutely ridiculous, the fact that the game needs another app or game running to be able to detect the 120fps is surreal. Also that somehow EA representatives in this forum have spent several days, even weeks to check and reply is incredible. At this point I have just given up on the idea that we will receive support and we will have this till F1 23, if we have the energy to buy another EA game. These reasons are why I stopped playing FIFA. Year after year the same issues and even new ones. Seems that EA have destroyed another franchise. Alos EA Help on Twitter is a joke, a joke. @EA_Kent @CM_TGK
