    Is anyone here experiencing lag, and a drop in their fps while driving on most routes? I really want to know is this because of my current graphic card that causes this problem or is it the most common problem that people are experiencing right now, even with the high graphic card such as an RTX, or something better?

    Rtx 2080ti, i9 10900, 32gb ram, I have some fps drops. 1440 on ultra wide at 150%.

    that said it’s becoming negligible as updates have continued.

    I have an RTX 2060 Super and have my fps locked at 40.

    It runs along really smooth at 40 fps, but every 10-20 seconds or so I get these short stutters, where the fps drops into yellow and sometimes even red for a brief moment. When that happens the sound also gets distotorted which is really anoying when playing with headphones.

    I believe this started with the move from TSW2020 to TSW2.

    What should I drop my fps too. I have an i7-11700k and using Nvidia Geforce gtx 760 as the graphic card, cause currently, the price is ridiculously high? How do I make my gameplay much smoother, and the graphic clear, without any FPS drop?

    Any feedback is welcome, thanks again

    Also what does the FPS Determine? What happen if you turn this down or up?

    Core i9 9900K, 1080TI, 32GB Ram, 3440x1440, 130%. I actually only have a problem with the FPS on Dresden - Chemnitz in some places around Tharandt - but then really bad.

    But one problem I have on every route are the ugly freezes every 20-30 seconds, DTG should primarily work on this. This is really annoying, especially on high-speed routes, it kills the immersion.

    Is anyone experiencing fps drop on the Chemnitz route, cause I just recently play it and there is also a problem with fps drop and lag.

    Also, does anyone know why there is that weird almost like tinnitus sound on the BR 185, BECAUSE IT IS So IRRITATING to my ear, i hope they fix this soon? :(

    the main but not the only one reason is not enough memory

    But is it that loud though? The same sound in the BR 146 is a lot quieter, at least for me.
    (I'm assuming we're talking about the "electric buzzing" sound in the cab which came with the updated 185-sounds :|)

    In your case, the other reasons are 'on'
    8 + 8 in dual channel + SSD is enough

    Can you please give a brief overview of the other reasons?

    I'm afraid that only DTG can solve these other problems. Thats what I mean.

    32 GB of RAM is more than OK. You can of course lower the quality of the graphics in the options.

    Screen percentage > 100% = heavy impact on performance
    Shadow quality
    Foliage quality (especially on Sherman Hill)

    Oh, all right, I agree. I thought you had more reasons in the hardware area.

    I am still experience lag and stutter with fps drop on some other route as well, but mostly german route. I think it have something to do with the route itself, because i have enough memory as well, so i believe its the route itself. Hopefully the team can look into this once, they are done with all the preservation crew update. At the moment its hard to play any route, that have FPS drop:(:|

    Read the long and very detailed and incredibly informative thread here https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/a-call-for-dx12-engine-ini-optimizations-for-ue-v4-26.50311
    This tries to address the issue as best it can. But the stuttering appears to need work from DTG's end.
    Matt said they were looking at UE optimisations on a recent live stream. So hopefully that will bare fruit.

    Get it all the time on the PS5 version of the game. Performance is quite poor in places.

    Sherman is the worst offender, but that's for DTG to solve as the route builder decided to decorate the otherwise relatively featureless terrain with hi-poly grass out to the horizon.

    Most other routes have a bit of a spit and a stutter, the worst offender being BML probably because of all the complex calculations being done under the head to run all the AI trains and calculate physics for same.

    Sherman is practically unplayable on my old PC; I can manage it at ridiculous low FPS with a vanilla .ini and everything turned down to Low.

    If it is any consolation, there are areas on Sherman that bring my 3080 to its knees at a whopping 7 FPS on ultra. I am genuinely flabbergasted how they have accomplished this. My GPU shows 100% utilisation but neither the VRAM is maxed nor is the power usage particularly high. I have to turn grass down to "medium" for a minimum of 30 FPS.

    Cheers
