A: Please make sure that the hardware used to play
the game meets the minimum requirements stated on the back of
the game cover, if your hardware meets the minimum requirements
need to run the game and you still have performance issues you
should try to lower the graphical settings.
Go to options->Visual Settings and change the General Detail
setting to low, test the game to if performance has improved, if
yes, you can try to go up one level on the General Detail
setting, continue to increase General Detail level until you
feel performance hits.
Important to note that a full field of cars takes more
performance from your hardware than having one car on track in
Practice Mode.

How does the pitstops work?
A: Pitstops are reworked, you can plan strategy
before the race and also make changes during the
race while on track.
Q: I'm going into
pits, the pitmenu pops up, what now?
A: If you had preset and are happy with the actions
marked with green colour, just push the button
mapped for "menu select" to confirm actions. If you
didn't have preset you have to do the changes you
want manually, very important is that only the
actions marked with green colour will be performed.
Q: How can I know
what damaged parts needs fixing?
A: The pitmenu is usefull with this too, damaged
parts are marked with red colour in the pitmenu.
Q: I received
stop/go penalty but fuel is running out, can the
penalty be served later?
A: Yes, there is "postpone stop/go" option in
the pitmenu, confirm this and you can perform normal
pitstop instead of stop/go. Remember that the
stop/go must be served inside 3 laps you got it,
otherwise you will be black flagged.
Q: I dont have
control of the car in pitlane, why is that?
A: There is autopit on/off option in main menu game
settings, and in garage realism settings. This is
enabled by default and its active in all the
sessions including offline practice. You can disable
it and have full control off the car in the pitlane.
Q: What are pitmenu
presets for?
A: With presets you can decide how much fuel you
want, change tires or not, fix damage or not before
the race. Presets are class specified so you can use
saved presets with all the cars in the same class.
Q: Why does the
pitmenu have "pit in request" instead of "confirm"
button when called while on track?
A: This is usefull option to give the pits a heads
up you are about to come in, confirm the request and
you will see "pit in" icon. Requested pitstops are
also slighty faster compared to unrequested stops.
Q: Is the fuel
amount chosen in preset/pitmenu added to the tank or
the amount you have left in tank after the stop?
A: The amount chosen will be added to what was in
tank before enterting pits.
Q: Ghost car is good
learning tool, how about the raceline?
A: Time Attack now includes raceline besides ghost
car which shows all the inputs with different
colours. Additionally the raceline has brake gates
to show exactly where the driven ghost applied
brakes.
What makes the improved Time Attack even more
usefull is the possiblity to run 2 different ghosts
and racelines, your own and loaded can be enabled at
the same time. Ghosts and racelines can be mixed so
it's possible to have own ghost and loaded raceline
visible for example.
Q: How come my saved
replays are not playing any tire sounds?
A: By setting replays to "full" quality, tire sounds
and many more sounds are played in replay. This only
works with replays recorded with "full" setting,
replays recorded with lower levers will play sounds
based on the recording level. (Go to options-->Game
settings-->set "Replay quality" to full. Keep in
mind this option results bigger replays in filesize. |
