Flickering issues with RF1 and Automobilista

[Chaser12]

EDIT: What flickered? The white lines, the fencing, and cars. All from a far distant, but when I get close to it, it stops flickering.

First, there are 5 things that I tried.
1. Messed with the Nvidia control panel: AA, V sync on and off, ect. - no success
2. Updated GPU - didn't work
3. I tested the default tracks - still showed flickering
4. Change in-game settings from high to med, ect. - still flickered
5. Went from fullscreen to windowed - problem solved, BUT input lag is noticeable (and people say that fullscreen is recommended) also, what I notice with windowed mode is that the game seems to be darkened (like more colored) which is interesting because it looked really good

PC specs
- R7 2700x
- RTX 2080
- 144hz 1080p AOC monitor

EDIT: I will post photos if needed

Solution?

Read this thread on the official forum.

Does it work for rfactor1 too?

 

[deceda]

Yes and also for GTR2. I think for every GMotor engine based game.

Okay, I'll try it and get back to you in 5 mins

 

[RoccoTTS]

For me it was a huge difference.

I still see some flickering but not as much as before

You should disable time progression too (look in the options) and in-game AA, also set fps limits to 120/144 (based on your screen) and disable vsync.
About colours try disabling sweet FX from config tool (the one you run when launching the game).

It's still there and turning down the graphics makes the game less enjoyable for well balanced PC. FML

Did you delete your AMS profile on Nvidia control panel ?
When i tried it the first time i forgot to delete the profile and it didn't work.

 

[ArrowsCART1]

No, how did you do that?

 

[ArrowsCART1]

It's on default settings. I haven't changed it

 

[RoccoTTS]

No, how did you do that?

Open your NVIDIA control panel, select Manage 3D settings on the left side, select Program settings on the right side, select Automobilista in the list of games and select remove.

after clicking apply changes, I'm getting a "DRS_EnumSettings failed: NVAPI_Invalid_argument"

 

[ArrowsCART1]

That's after removing it and going to the nvidia profile inspector 2.13 and making changes. It has an option to either continue or quit

I don't remember having any problems when doing this, so i don't know.
Maybe someone else can help you ?

Okay, got it to work. It removed the flickering. Thank you, RoccoTTS.

 

[ArrowsCART1]

I had to reapply the settings in the inspector, then it worked.

 

[ArrowsCART1]

oh and I got one more question. I know this isn't an rfactor1 thread but how do you make graphics like that?

 

[RoccoTTS]

Okay, got it to work. It removed the flickering. Thank you, RoccoTTS.

Glad to see you got it working.
