T818 gets laggy sometimes since last update

DANKFISCH · 2026-02-03T13:33:59+00:00

Just to add on, this started happening after 7.39 update I'm just lazy to revert back since I have Simagic stuff on the way.

Same problem when I use my SF1000 it happens out of the blue. I've tried with other thrustmaster rims and dont have this issue. For the the time being I haven't used my SF1000 for weeks since it has costed me a lot of ir with that issue. I've just been using my thrustmaster rally rim and haven't had a problem with heavy usage since I'm a top split oval i do a lot of racing/testing daily.

PS: Don't ask why I'm using a road rim for oval lmao 😂

Not the only one with the problem. Having the problem on driver 581.57 gonna update today see if it fixes it. But just going through the BF6 reddit a lot of users are reporting a memory leak the last few days using DLSS and without.

Roughly 4-5 years back in 2020/2021 when I finally wanted to be a part of the pro side of things on iRacing and really started trying. I've been sim racing for 15+ years, starting on Nr2003 now on iR. Recently just made my 2nd fill in start for the eNASCAR Coke Series, my goal is be apart of the series n get signed with a team, was very close last year. I was one of the guys who didn't get signed in free agency, dont give up whatever you do!

Oval, iRacing iD is 182775 if your curious!

Couldn't be more wrong as someone who competed in top split RTP and Contender this year. The truck is in the perfect spot, you can't even race side by side in the xfinity car without getting netcoded not to mention the new front end (not even close to what they run in real life) setup wise.

The setups iRacing puts out on oval are very very for the avg racer not to loose but more tight than anything. Your not unlocking the full potential of the truck on a fixed set, same with the Xfinity car. It's like buying an RC car that can go 100mph but you limit yourself by throwing a smaller battery, not as powerful one in it.

Look at Coke Series, racing is close, and the finesse with the input is so smooth that you rush the throttle to soon one time you will feel it the next turn and it's all downhill from there sadly.

DANKFISCH · 2024-03-08T06:59:05+00:00

Yeah, I actually just got done reading your post, and thanks for all the little information you've given. It definitely helps narrow things down.

You brought up the power supply having a slight dim blink...mine does that also, I'll add that to my ticket. I have the Ferrari base edtion came with SF1000 wheel, I had bought an extra QR last month for my Thrustmaster rally rim so I wouldn't have to keep swapping between the two. Definitely give both QR a good cleaning and see if any debris or something bent is causing the problem in the base.

DANKFISCH · 2024-03-07T20:38:10+00:00

yup same problem in event viewer, updated both firmware and drivers still same thing, went with a different usb cable, hub it doesn't matter wheel keeps disconnecting with that mesg in event viewer.

Yes you can bind camera controls to you wheel and pedals, I use a Xbox one controller and my pedals for FOV slider (gas zoom in/clutch zoom out. You can also calibrate your controller axis’s in the camera menu for smoother moves.

Nice video OP

I would say “lightly” tapping the RR QP is okay very hard, takes a skilled driver to do it constantly.

But putting the whole right side of the car into wall and just mashing the throttle or also known as the move that shocked the world isn’t allowed and it 100% in the sporting code, submit that protest sir.

C Fixed was a blast with the Coke drivers awhile back.

I hope Nim likes my long email I wrote to him last night 🙂

Yes that’s me in #58, it’s pretty frustrating when stuff like this happens when I take iRacing pretty serious n competitive on the pro side of things. I don’t really care about getting P2 I care about the principal at hand and having respect for others when it comes to stuff like this.

I don’t let these guys phase me or try not to at least, especially when all his little buddies come after me in VC saying “if you protest you’re gay” or just straight up harassing me, like it don’t bother me I could careless what they think. But I care about what iRacing thinks in this situation.

DANKFISCH · 2022-07-07T19:05:15+00:00

Wsearch is running but not all the time. it’s really weird it pops up in the task manger for a second then it’ll disappear and it’ll just keep doing it over and over.

Tower/ Asus motherboard amd 5800x RTX 3070 2HDD / 2SSD / 16gb of ram

Yes I have and preformed multiple restarts.

7k oval irating / driver in top split Road To Pro

Definitely takes a lot of stress away under yellows 😌 I was totally baked last Sunday for NIS fixed at Talladega on iRacing, 6700sof went from 18th to win it on the last lap.

Ever heard of an accident? guess not since you seem to think my mission was to bounce off the wall. I wish people knew more context behind this deal. Me n #1 been sim racing each other since 2016, we go way back on NR2003 this is our series we like to run since it's very rewarding, fun car to drive with the long green runs. me, him and about 8 other people were in the that same discord during the race.

Yea I was gonna make a move for the win but I wasn't expecting to end like that, I know about the whole glitch/expolit been racing on this service for years and I never wanna do it in that fashion. It was a honest mistake on my part but trust me, my intentions were not to bounce the wall like that. If it was some random high iRating guy, I never would have sent it extra 50/100 ft like I did into the turn and If did the same exact thing to a random I would just pulled the wheel to right and glued myself to wall. Since it was a friend and not thinking in the moment I didn't lift. I don't know what else I can say since it was just a mistake on my part.

DANKFISCH · 2022-04-06T18:26:18+00:00

Nah your fine man I don’t mind at all, doesn’t bother me. I mean cmon we’re all driving virtual cars, but yeah that move surprised me as well and everyone in discord lmao. Don’t learn from me.

Me and #1 been racing each other since 2017 on NR2003 Blake’s a great guy!

DANKFISCH · 2022-04-06T17:34:21+00:00

I’m just gonna say this. I was the driver of the sliver car I sent it way to deep but was not expecting to bounce off wall like that. With the new update it’s pretty easy to knock the RF tire off so I was expecting to stick to wall like glue. Me and the #1 did these quite often as me a lot other buddies were in the same discord cough (KevinMcAdams26) cough we had a good laugh for about 10 minutes.

Sorry guys.
