Performance issue, very bad FPS and FPS drops
Hi, I have a problem with Need For Speed Rivals : I get some serious FPS drops, it is unplayable, why is it unplayable when I could play BF3 on Max settings and BF4 on Medium/High ? Also, there's no...

If you check Google you will find videos of the game on Youtube at 60fps. It is far worse than the issue we have at 30fps. The physics get totally f*#@ked up and the car is so fast it's undrivable.
@jjrcng:
You can get 60 FPS at normal speed if you use these commands in the command line: -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60
But with the value 60 it only works if you really reach the 60 FPS constantly. Otherwise the game feels like slow motion, like it does in the FPS drops.
I can play nearly every game at the moment in 50-60 FPS except Rivals. Here I have 25-30 with huge drops. So the fix is nothing for me till a patch ☹️
My problem is in the sound. It does a weird sound when using nitro and colliding.i also can't ear the police sirens only my own if im controling a cop car.
Rest assured, the team at Ghost Studios where well aware of this issue even before they released the game. You have to realize that the big bad wolf here isn't Ghost Studios, but EA.
1. EA is the publisher and decides when the game will get released, no pushing.
2. Console is the priority, piracy isn't really that big of an issue and retail price is 25% higher which means more profit
3. Even more important since PS4 and XB1 debuts. Priority to make them work on all four platforms.
4. Just make PC port runnable, with as few bugs as possible. Performance will be patched later on.
This is the same thing as we had with Most Wanted last year. There where some Criterion members that wrote and replied here, but there was like 6 posts or something in total in a three-four months period if I remember correctly. eanajat takes care of this site, doesn't have anything to do with the game, but makes sure that all what we share here will be forwarded to Ghost.
It will be patched, it will be better but at this point we don't know when or how much the patching will actually do. What we do know is that it's utterly poor optimized (if you can even use that word) and that we're stuck with hard coded 30fps lock, with little to none options when it comes to gfx settings. At the moment I find the texture loading issue to be the WORST. After that we have the very off choice of making someone else a host for the whole session. Two biggest problems if you ask me.
Stay patient for now and tell everyone to avoid buying it for PC for the time being.
Regarding the FPS drops issue you are reporting in this thread, most of you provided their specs but could you please also provide so more info. When or where the FPS drop occurs? Are you doing a specific action in-game or not (happening randomly)?
Also, have you tried to revert back to the previous graphic card driver version in order to perform a test?
Some of you provided a brief description such as scrble below, but could you please also post the details of the situation. Thanks.
