    I just found a fix for a bug that has been prevalent for me all the way back to Game Stock Car: Any time I was running with other cars on track (both offline and online) my cockpit and tire textures were extremely blurry. The only "fix" was to set opponent detail to max, which is a significant fps hit for my system.

    Today I finally found a real fix: In config.ini in the core game folder I changed ObjDetail and TexDetail from 1 to 3. I also changed VideoRAM to the correct 1024, instead of 2570, but I doubt that did something. These settings fixed the bug completely, and I didn't notice any fps hit. Also they fixed the suspension animation for Formula Vintage, where the suspension arms were moving separately from the tire.

    I guess these settings made my car use the animations and textures of the opponents no matter what, and made everything look pretty bad. Weirdly, opening the config tool didn't change the settings back to default, as I expected...

    It seems that bug Is very rare and dependent on system configuration: I haven't found anything about it in any forums, besides a mention in rfactor1: Problem: Blurry textures - NoGripRacing Forums

    My system is as follows: Intel Core2quad q8200 2.33 ghz, 4 gb ddr2 ram, PNY Nvidia GTX 550ti 1 gb, resolution 1680x1050, windows 7 with service pack 1. The videocard drivers are the latest ones, and I have tried reinstalling them. I also fiddled with all the settings in nvidiaInspector.

    As for the suggestion to Reiza: if you can, in the next patch make ObjDetail and TexDetail default to 3. The only thing the "1" value seems to do is make the game look very bad in certain (if rare) scenarios.

    The topic might be in the wrong place, but I'm not sure where to put it.

    Never mind, it's not fixed... what put me off is that it does not happen every time against AI. It does however happen every time when I'm online.

    Here's what the problem is. Following settings:

    Running time trial, alone:

    Entering a server:

    Config.ini edits make no difference. Next, following settings(player detail low, opponent detail full):

    I guess now that the tread has to be moved to help and support... I don't know how to fix it.

    Hm... It does make abit of difference, here's ObjDetal and TexDetail at 1:
    20160905200428_1.jpg
    And heres ObjDetail and TexDetail at 3: (only tires have low-rez textures, cockpit is fine)
    20160905201051_1.jpg
    I guess it's a bit of an improvement... Actually the low-rez textures are not used even by the AI on medium settings, when the race loads propetly... I'm not sure where they come from.

    Interesting, but these differences are of no matter when racing; not for me anyway.

    I guess so, but it is still annoying... I might as well drive from hud cam then. Do you have that issue tho?

    Include "Session/Status" and "Serie(cars)" in multiplayer list.
