Extremely poor performance after new update. After the new volume 3 update the game has gotten extremely laggy and impossible to play competitively because i loose races simply because of the game slowing down from my fps. The new update also broke the upscaling but i was using medium/high settings with the upscaler now i cant even play with all low settings. The game seriously needs optimization. I have the newest drivers and have cleared the cache. Another issue is the game getting even laggier the longer the session, so restarts are mandatory to play without loosing my mind. My pc isnt that great but it is above the required hardware. There are some attachments of the laggy gameplay.Here.

@Sjonny30 bro now its slow motion 24/7

@Jabberwocky79 yea the volume 3 update really broke the optimization. i get 60 fps but for some reason its in slow motion like its unplayable.

Not sure if this is the same for you, but for me, Volume 3 immediately created an issue with the FPS stuttering every few seconds, especially when the car strikes a destructible object. It is unplayable now.

I don't think the FPS counter is accurate, because it's showing around 75 FPS for me, but when the stuttering happens, it only changes to around 55. But the stuttering is more like 10-20 FPS. Something is royally messed up.

@Jabberwocky79 but mine doesnt have low fps its just slow like im playing in slow motion yk

@Grandmaquil I got the game too now and have experienced the slow motion too. It happens usually during races but not freeroaming the map. It's very weird behaviour. I used the "CPU fix" that limits the cores to 4 in a user.cfg file. That resulted in the slow motion behavior. I can recommend increasing the number from 4 to 8 if you have the cores at disposal that is. It solved the problem but the FPS for me is still relatively low. Same with CPU Utilization, also very low, and GPU is 12% in use.

clear app cache and turn on resizable bar if you have it (my pc doesnt sadly) put everything to performance mode delete dx12 file from shadercache or eomething folder. and also clear ea app cache each time you play from the ea app, three dots, app recovery

@GrandmaquilClearing the ea app cache should only be done with corrupt downloads. Shader cache I wouldn't know either. Cause I think it hasn't affected me yet in the game. No strange fps slowdowns, I think leaving that cache should be better for now. I might try the game using DXVK because god knows what kind of optimizations that has in place.

I realized that DXVK doesn't work because it's a DirectX12 game. But even than I tried running it with VKD3D and that just froze half way trough a loading screen.
