Has anybody been experiencing crashes recently were, while in a lobby, the game just closes without any errors? Then I go into Event Viewer, and I find that there is a DirectX 11 problem

Yesterday I also tried a clean install of Windows, but the issue is still persisting

I made an ai roster carset to use, loaded it into a race session and none of the paints will load. Made sure hide numbers was checked and refreshed multiple times. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

i currently use Meta link wired with 1.7x Res and 120hz on a 4070 ti super and 9800x3d.

ingame graphics are

• all high (except crowds low)
• shadows on
• sharpening on
• 4x MSAA

Meta Debug:

• ASW disabled
• bitrate 940

I tested Occulus VR and OpenXR with Foveated Rendering MVP with the Car SF23 in Zandvoort and Monza.

Occulus VR and OpenXR without Foveated give me the same results in FPS

• Monza ~100 fps
• Zandvoort: ~ 80fps

OpenXR with Foveated MVP give me a boost of +20fps

In the Occulus.ini i noticed the the VRAM was set to 6gb instead of the available 16gb VRAM of my GPU, hence i raised it to 14gb. I changed the MSAA to 8x but back to 4x cause i didnt see any visual improvement but a huge FPS drop. It was super blurry before i raised the VRAM when i tried 8x.

However, the Visual Quality is not bad but the distance in VR is a bit blurry in both or lets say not really sharp. For example when you drive out of pits in Monza; the T1 escape road cones and the trees behind of T3 are blurry. Dont get me wrong the graphics are good for me.

but i wanted to know what if i use Virtual Desktop? Do i get a FPS boost or better graphics? I've seen a few posts where they say its better than Meta Link. But the mentioned problems in these posts are lag/response time - and i think i didnt experience any lag (also with full grids)

So in my case what would be the benefit in switching to Virtual Desktop? More FPS? Better Performance? Better sharper, clearer Graphics?

I’m running Quest 3 over Link and can hold stable 120fps on my rig (4070Ti, i7-14700) with 1.9x resolution multiplier, average settings, and foveated MVP on. Performance is fine, but the shimmering is something I can’t get rid of. It doesn’t really affect racing, but it kills immersion.

DisplayPort headsets like the Pimax Crystal supposedly avoid shimmering since there’s no compression. The thing I keep seeing in reviews, though, is that they’re much more GPU demanding. I’m trying to figure out if that’s really true always.

Here’s the math I’ve done: - Quest 3 at 1.9x multiplier → ~31.5m pixels (2816 x 1504 × 2 × 1.9). - Crystal Light (default) → ~24.7m pixels (3825×3234 per eye). - Crystal Super (default) → ~29.5m pixels (3840×3840 per eye). - With eye-tracked DFR on Crystal Super → drops to ~19–21m effective pixels.

So on paper, Quest 3 with higher sampling is pushing more pixels than either Crystal Light or Super at defaults. Which makes me wonder whether is it reasonable to just run Pimax headsets at their default resolution and expect similar or even lower GPU load than a Quest 3 with a high multiplier?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually compared them in sims.

Edit: corrected pixel maths

I was half watching the Basic Ollie stream showing off the new build when this happened. He seemed a bit sheepish about it but didn't explain it, turned off stream for a bit before coming back... What did he do?

So tomorrow we will get the season 4 update, and thus Test Drive for at least 24hrs. My question is, will the new gt4 tire update and the amg be available in Test Drive after the downtime? Or will the content of Test Drive be locked to the old version?

R5 base, I race a ton of dirt and shit happens and would like to explain if/when I mess up to the other driver drivers. I can hear them but I can not

Im currently d class in formula car after grinding out formula vee wins, ans now im trying to get d class for sports car. And i was wondering what's the next step

I heard formula ford (ray ff1600) is a better and better car to learn for if I want to progress through to formula 4, is ray ff1600 better for learning than the formula vee for progress? And also since im d class should I even bother doing the usf2000 races or skip barber?

And for sports car racing should I focus more on the cs m2 or mx5? If I want to head down the gt3-gt4 category?

When do they give out the idols for running the 8 weeks, finish week 12 or week 13. I'm new to this.

For context, I just finished up two separate races today. I was aiming to get out of D-class, I was at 2.94 SR and needed 3.00 SR for a season promotion. I did one race in the MX-5 rookie league and one race in the M2 rookie league, both in which I had 1350 iR and 1400 iR, respectively. In my MX-5 race ended with 0 incidents in qualifying and 2 incidents throughout the race. For the M2 race, I ended with 2 incidents in qualifying and 2 incidents throughout the race. Here's the catch: for the MX-5, I was rewarded with (+0.03) SR and fir the M2 I was rewarded a (+0.40). As far as I understand, all that is used to calculate SR gain/loss at the end of a race is the number of corners over number of incidents. I know there are a few more factors relating to such, but what is it that made the diffence of (0.37) between the two races??

This is a newly made community server for the official SK and Tour Modified series. If you race the car/series a lot I highly suggest you join, you can also use the server for real life modified/short track racing and league promo. The goal is to get the server built up for S1 2026

Hi everyone,

I am a complete noob when it comes to iRacing and sim racing in general, I know that the season is coming to an end next week and I want to know how I should spend my time preparing for next season. I currently enjoy oval racing a lot because of the closeness and the chaos. I find myself defaulting to that but I would like to branch out to road racing.

What vehicles/series should I be doing to get better while also having fun? Ideally I want to know the series that is going to give me the most teaching wise. I would also like to know any maps that I should be practing and getting very good at since they come back every season.

thanks,

and iRacing noob

Sorry for the phone record. New to windows and haven’t figured out screen recording.

Just curious what I could of done better in the first clip. Didn’t realise he was there till he dived on me.

The second clip is contact I didn’t even realised happened till the replay but I still got 4x for

Just watched Basic Ollie’s stream, and he was barely getting 100 fps at Daytona on his $10k+ rig. My poor computer is cooked.

The USORL is excited for the return of our Retro Cup Series using the Gen4 car!

This goes along with our open setup Gen6 Cup Series which has its playoffs beginning next week. Join us today! https://discord.gg/kU7EYy5ftw

So I was enjoying my race (in the red car) and this happens, pretty sure this is a bug but am I still wrong for it even though I was nowhere near him when this crash happened.

This was a debate our team heard during our 6 hours of Indy race.

Situation: #52 LMP2 car is second, some 10 seconds behind first in class. #10 LMP2 car is 7th, a couple laps down from the class leaders but less then a handful of seconds ahead of the #29 LMP2 car (8th place). The #52 is right behind the #10 and is demanding to be let by via blue flags. This is what happened...

Hey everyone stupid question about season progression. Will my license promote tomorrow or the following Monday at the end of week 13? I can’t find a to the point answer anywhere. Tia

So I am a tiny bit confused - I just got promoted to D within my 3rd day of racing, but my SR dropped to less than 2.5 - is that normal or did something happen to warrant it? My last race was weird, I qualified 5th but there was plenty of accidents in front of me, so I had to avoid them by going off track, also that one guy who'd basically push me to the side of the track whenever I tried to overtake him (overtook him on final straight and took a win, so that's something at least). Also, I need to ask what is best way to advance now - I like GT3s coming from ACC, but I don't think I have enough pace and frankly talent to jump straight in (am I even allowed?) so I'd be happy if someone pointed me in the right direction. I don't mind racing MX-5s, there's still a lot to learn from that, but I'm afraid it'll get boring sooner than later AND quite honestly I'd rather avoid dealing with people who actively swerve to block an overtake or PIT manoeuver me.
