Hi there.
One of my current gripes with F1 2018 is that the game is suffering from a visual judder and poor visual smoothness and fluidity in online multiplayer that is not evident in any single player mode.
After a few days of testing, I can't diagnose why this might be happening. My CPU and GPU are not bottlenecking the game in any way, and while I have an old processor, an i5-2500K overclocked to 4.4GHz, it is not being maxed out on any core while playing the game in any mode and my GTX 1070 easily handles this game at high settings at 1440p. The game looks and plays fine on my own, but as soon as I go to any online session, while my framerate shows a pretty much a locked Vsync'd 60fps, the smoothness of the image is horrific, as if it were running at something closer to 30fps. No graphical setting in-game changes this situation, no change of input helps anything, and this problem appears no matter how many other players are in the session. Even one-shot quali runs poorly.
My first thought was to run some frame latency tests, and while they show some less than ideal frametimes especially in dry weather, it is seemingly not the cause of the issue as visual smoothness is much better offline than online despite showing similar frametime results. The frametime could always be helped by a game ready Nvidia driver update which I'm hoping we'll see soon, but I'm struggling to see how the online issue in particular can be helped by that.
This could be related to the microstuttering suffered by players without Vsync applied I'm guessing, but I can't know for sure.
Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on some causes why this could be happening
@Hoo? Can supply videos if needed, and my dxdiag is available here:
