    Well, to be honest with you also, in that case you don't really need personalised setups as the default ones are perfectly fine for some fun. You are grossly exaggerating the difference between them by saying that default is unplayable. I could understand you wanting to have the best setups if you were a very competitive player and fighting for top positions in online events, but if you are just enjoying the game itself then there really is no need to have top notch setups for every car and every location. Not to mention that setups, to some extent, are a matter of personal preference rather than pure performance gains.

    I was sure with viewing how many players are willing to share their settings that I will have some comment like yours. I posted on Reddit a way I've found to greatly improved my headphones, the factory settings were ok, but with the settings I've found they become great, and I'm really happy if I could help other users to have a better experience and enjoy more their headphones. I've helped some owners, and they were all very thankful, I'm glad I could do that. That's one of the greatest use of internet: share what you think could be useful to others. If I follow your way of thinking, then I should just think: Yeah I found great settings, but the stock headphones works fine, you're not an audiophile right, so why should I share the easily ways of improvement I've found, cause the factory setting works fine.

    Anyway I'm not here to argue with anyone, even to comment like only competitive players would need top notch settings. 

    Which by the way GTR Technical has shared his, and I think he really knows what he's doing viewing all the very precise set ups he's doing to the cars. And if you read the comments on his post here in this community, then you will see that players are very thankful to him, and most of the comments are from beginners like me who can enjoy the game much more.

    So thank you for your comment, I will stick with my way of thinking that if I could help anyone by sharing what I've learned in life and improve their experience in anything, then I'm really happy to do it!

    Have a great day though.

    Your settings are awesome! Without them I would have given up on the game!

    For now I just play the game with the cars you've done, can't wait for the next ones.

    Thank you so much for sharing, you help noobs like me enjoying the game!

    If you come to Vietnam the first bottle is one me ;)

    What cars do you need settings for?

    Actually all of them would be awesome! Hahaha. So far I just drive the cars that GTR Technical gives on his channel, cause before I had discovered his settings I was about to give up on the game, without proper settings, all the cars are unplayable.

    You can always learn how to tune yourself, you know:

    Thanks for the link, It's very technical and I guess we need a lot of tries before finding adequate settings. Also the author mentioned that the guide is for DR 1 and he might do another one for DR 2 but it will take him months... I remember 20 years ago I loved playing Colin McRae and I learned how to set up the cars by myself, but to be honest with you, now I'm busy with my business and I'd rather just open the game and enjoy it without spending days in finding good settings.

    But thanks all for your answers!

    Hi everyone,

    I love DR 2 but I really don't know how to set up the cars.

    I found this guy with his youtube channel GTR Technical: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ05BZF9F6q2xKyV6viCBGg

    Without his help I couldn't play the game, as I was always 15 seconds behind the leader, now thanks to him I can play with the cars settings he put on his channel.

    But unfortunately for me he didn't do it for all the cars (very grateful for the cars he did though), so I can't play with the cars he hasn't put on his channel.

    Can anyone please share his settings for beginners like me?

    Every animated object kills FPS (moving trees, grass, spectators, rivers, drones). Would be a nice feature to add an ON/OFF switch (slider) in graphics menu to stop or play animation for moving object

    Totally agree with you mesa.

    You can try turning off grass shadows in your Hardware Settings.xml file for more fps.

     

    Local Disc - Users- User Profile Name - Documents - My Games - Hardware Settings - Hardware Settings Config.xml - scroll down to "shadows enabled=true" - next to it is "grass=true", change it to "grass=false" . Save

     

    Remember to make a back up of your settings before you change them

    I'll try that, it could help, thanks for the tip SkiddyMcCrash

    yeah, it's normal. the game normally runs at around 45-55 fps but then slowed down to below 25 when there were lots of certain trees.

    I got it in Poland the most (and the worst slowdowns), but also in New Zealand in the heavily forested bits, and very occasionally in Spain, Australia and New England. Monte Carlo and Sweden seem better but it might be because I've already decreased the graphics.

    that section of Argentina is bad too.

    I put the shadows to medium and it helped a LOT. it's a bit annoying because if it wasn't for these little sections I could almost max out the graphics options

    Yeah I have noticed the same

    Thanks to all for your comments, hopefully Codemasters will hear us.

    I think the best idea comes from Mesa, would love to have an option to turn off animated objects, I'm sure it looks nice if you have a gtx 1080 but for people like us, I would love to increase the settings and turn off animated objects.

    It's already on the lowest setting, as mirror, crowds...

    I monitor all the games I play on my macbook for the temperature to not go too high. And it all the games I play, the temperature difference is only 4-5 Celcius in different environments. In DR 2 the trees impact the FPS and temperature way too much.

    Hi everyone,

    Fist I want to say the DR 2 is the best racing game I have ever played, the team that had created it has to be really passionate.

    So I play on a Macbook with Bootcamp, my graphic card is on the low end: Radeon Pro 560X which is like a Nvidia 1050. So I don't expect to play AA games at 1080p on full settings.

    When I first tried DR 2 the first race I did was Argentina in Time Trial, and I was really amazed by the quality of the graphics I could have even with my graphic card: 1080p at medium settings, and the game was really beautiful and smooth.

    Then.. I raced in different countries and my FPS dropped dramatically, so I lower my settings, to finally find that the more trees the stage has, the more my FPS will drop. in the same stage in an environment with and without trees, the temperature of my GPU will increase of 10 Celcius. So now I'm playing at 720p with low settings. 

    I love the game, and it's really beautiful if you have a good graphic card, but I find disappointing that Argentina is well optimized even for low end graphic cards but as soon as we get the trees...

    I mean, when I'm playing a racing game, I don't really look at trees, I look at the road and that's it. The environment is important also to make a game more beautiful, when I see the beautiful lightning or the reflection on the water, they look amazing, but they don't drop my FPS or raise the temperature of my GPU.

    I wish the team behind RD 2 could fix this issue, I think we are many who love your game but don't have a high end graphic card, please think about us :)

    Oh and last thing: please fix the AI
