    Hi. I've been having this issue for a very long time with AMS2 where I open the game and I get really low FPS until I load a race, close the game and then reopen it. I have tried different video drivers, disconnecting my wheelbase and pedals, reinstalling, verifying file and a lot more.

    Please open this reddit post to see a video of the issue:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/AUTOMOBILI...i_ive_been_having_this_issue_for_a_very_long/

    In the video, check the top left for the FPS counter. This started happening out of the blue. No Windows update or any system changes were made before the issue appeared; I just loaded the game one day like I always did and I had massive frame drops until I loaded a race and reopened it. If I don't load a race then it won't be fixed when I reopen it. This is very annoying and sometimes I just jump to any other sim to avoid having to open the game twice.

    Also, see how Steam acts as if the game had been updated when I launch it the second time. No other game has this issue.

    My specs:

    A320M-k (yes, it works perfectly)
    6600xt
    5600x
    16gb 3200mhz
    1tb SSD
    Simagic Alpha Mini (SimPro manager)

    I tried deleting SimPro and the Fanatec driver, as well as disconnecting my wheelbase and pedals just to see if it was interfering. Please help!

    That's unrelated and has to do with steam updating rating stuff.

    A few points:

    Please deactivate UDP frequency in your AMS2 system options

    Make sure that AMS2 is running full screen and is actuall focussed (on some systems there are weird things happening with the game running not in full focus). You can try alt-tabbing the game once (if it doesn't react, open steam overlay with shift-tab first and then alt-tab out and into the game again).

    Also worth checking for vsync and frame limiter being of any influence.

    Are you using MSI afterburner/Riva Tuner server?

    The only thing I have left to try is deactivating UDP frequency. I already went through everything else you said. I had uninstalled MSI Afterbuerner and RTSS as well to see if it helped, but sadly it was all the same.

    Just tried everything you said but it made no difference. This is baffling

    Hi Johnny, did you have found a solution yet? I have exactly the same issue, very frustrating. But unlike you, I just can load it and directly close it again. This also works for me.

    Let me know, thnx mate.
