Frequent Frame Drops?

London, England

I was doing a run earlier and I was getting a LOT of frame drops, mostly when I was going from one race to another. Sometimes it would drop from 60FPS to as little as 4FPS. Is there a hotfix for it or is it just my laptop is not good enough to run this game?

Upon watching your run it seems like it’s the latter, I tried playing ASR on my laptop about a year ago and it was always loading into levels that caused me the most trouble but once into the race it was usually bearable.

Maybe running the game in windowed and lowering the in-game graphics settings will help? As well as lowering the recording settings you use? That’s all I can offer though.

Running the game in windowed sounds like a great idea, it's just that neither Steam or the in-game settings allow it. I've looked through it.

Right click ASR in your Steam library > Properties > Local Files > Browse... > Open "settings.ini" with notepad > Edit "WINDOWED=0" to say "WINDOWED=1".

Additionally to change the resolution of the window (it cannot be stretched), edit "SCREEN_WIDTH=" and "SCREEN_HEIGHT=" to whatever works for you!

Thanks! I'll try it and see if it works or not.

It works completely fine! Thanks for the advice.
