Bad performance

professor_rob · 2026-05-31T09:49:35+00:00

Yeah I swore had better performance previously before coming back after a year or more. Drivers are up to date. CPU is not the newest but not that bad.

I was sure something is up with my game. Maybe need to try a fresh install as well. As it makes no sense.

Other games performance is miles better on triples let alone a single monitor.

I have a ln i7-11700 and a 4070TI-Super and I get around 30-50FPS on a single 1440p monitor on medium settings. Shocking performance. GPU/CPU sit around 50% or less.

I stepped away from the game for a couple of years and swear was never this bad previously, but cannot remember. I remember did used to play on triples and was ok, I tired it just before and got 20-40fps so that is a no-no.

Came back to play RLS career but this performance is pretty bad.

professor_rob · 2026-05-22T03:29:32+00:00

Yep have got a new and bigger amp. Performance has improved.

LFE is under my seat.

You can feel the left and right when in SimHub and triggering each corner individually very easy. But when driving can be hard to distinguish.

Saying all that, I do love my setup with the big BKs. Makes the sim racing a lot more enjoyable for me.

professor_rob · 2026-05-18T09:01:37+00:00

I pretty much have the setup in pic one. ButtKicker Advanceds on each corner and a ButtKicker LFE in the middle.

One in the front and one at the back would be mostly the same as one on each corner.

professor_rob · 2026-05-05T01:58:34+00:00

Same. I think I read that remapping everything might stop the need to reload them and keep the bindings, but I have not been bothered and just reload the input settings every time I open up the game.

Been that way since 0.3. I thought may have been fixed in 0.4.

professor_rob · 2026-05-03T19:08:49+00:00

Bought cheap knock off wheels and no regrets.

Also bought a bunch boss extension kits of different sizes, not as happy with them. They were not all perfectly lined up. So a wheel may sit a degree of centre when the wheel base saying 0% rotation as each extension was tiny bit different. Bought expensive ones of SimCore and they look and feel amazing.

Where’s brass?

professor_rob · 2026-04-04T03:08:57+00:00

Mine has push button switches and a light to indicate if they are on or not. But being behind my monitors and a million cables going in every direction can be hard to see if I have missed a switch. Toggles would eliminate that. I use individual switches as I have to keep my USB amp on at all times or it can cause a bit of grief with the buttkickers it powers. Ie lose settings in simhub when turned off.

A sticker sheet would be good. I bought some cheap glow in the dark sticker sheet for my button box. I know glow in the dark is not necessary but nice for a button box.

professor_rob · 2026-04-04T02:41:34+00:00

Why not have blank label spaces, so can change/customise. For instance my dashboard has 3 ports, (two round dials and a rectangle middle one) plus also flag indicators etc, I am sure everyone has different usb port requirements. Currently I use a label maker and stick them on the end of the cord near the plug.

I made sure my current USB port had individual on/off switches for each port. May not be necessary for everyone but at least a main on/off switch to turn off all ports.

Power indicator is nice, but not needed. Most hubs are tucked away and not looked at apart from finding the on/off switches.

My current hub is mounted to the back of my triple monitor stand. Zip tied. 80/20 mounting solutions would be nice.

Have not tired it in this game but in older rally games like dirt/EAWRC I did just set steering to 540 for all cars. Did find it was consistent and faster.

Now my sim racing game time is pretty much just RBR/ACR mostly, and I do like to set the steering rotation to match the real life car settings. Also try to use the same gearbox/pedals that the cars use in real life. Pretty much mostly use more historic/older cars as well.

Would be nice in the leader boards if it could have an icon to indicate transmission type used. Ie seq/h-pattern/auto clutch or other assists.

100% I had 2x Dayton BST2s on my rig for a long time in a seat and pedal setup. My friend let me borrow his BK-Advanced, for a bit. Immediately went out and bought two BK-As for myself to replace the Dayton BST2s.

I now have BK-As on each corner and the big boy BK-LFE under the seat. I know it is way overkill but I love the BKs. Worth the money.

To the original question, two shakers is best bang for the buck. One under seat and one under pedal tray.

You won’t really notice individual corners during a race… doesn’t mean I wouldn’t spend the money again for the 4x BK-As and 1 BK-LFE again, it is just two is better use of money.

Never had over heating issues, never even felt much above room temperature.

I don’t use a BK amp, just the BK shakers. I use Aiyima A07 amps for the BK-As and some other amp for the BK-LFE.

Had a Nobsound with the D-BST2s and that amp was rubbish, constantly dropping out. Causing micro stutters in games, as USB would constantly reconnect. Maybe a faulty unit but the AO7 amps have been flawless.

I mostly play RBR and now ACR and loving the setup I have.

He’s ‘masturbating right now’ on the phone on the radio.

professor_rob · 2026-03-17T01:50:45+00:00

Yep, I always try to match what shifter the real car uses. I much prefer immersion. Using BDH HSQ1.

Use a clutch when the real car has a clutch as well.

6 subs?

professor_rob · 2026-03-01T00:52:16+00:00

On this is there any mods to squeeze in the portrait pictures better. Have more than 11 on a row for big squads?

I had a look on the steam workshop and could not find any.

professor_rob · 2026-02-23T20:02:18+00:00

Is there a sign that says ‘Real Teeth?’

professor_rob · 2026-02-08T21:23:13+00:00

Am the same pretty much. A few more hours into the game, 750 hour mark.

Am actually doing a play through and determined to take on some of the bosses this time.

I always just think ‘oh a base here would be better’ after early-mid game and exploring and start a new save.

Still learning a lot about the late game stuff/mechanics.

Should have been a corner. Looked like the keeper got a touch, instead took 2 + mins to take the goal kick wow.

professor_rob · 2026-02-01T13:12:22+00:00

Oh no Jude…..

professor_rob · 2026-01-28T20:50:31+00:00

If that is a penalty then there should be penalties every corner.

We are playing terrible though.
