Sometimes, while racing, the game will straight up freeze for half a second, and then continue as if nothing happened, except during that half second the game was running and I ended up missing my braking or touching an opponent; normally it just causes me to lose my car.
I thought it could have been some graphics configuration, but even setting it to low or medium does not stop this from happening. While on high settings the benchmark gives me max fps of 112 and min of 22, on medium/low it goes up to 250 fps and min of 20-22.
I've checked the cpu/gpu/ram allocation during the game session and its all looking normal.
This only happens with f1 25, all other games run incredibly smooth (and usually at high/max settings).
It doesnt happen consistently, but like, 1-3 times over a 3-4hr racing session, and it doesnt consistently happen at the beginning nor later on, it seems to happen at random moments.
How can I fix this issue?
I have an i9, rtx 4070 super, 64gb of ram, an ssd and am running windows 11. Playing through steam
