Issues unresolved[edit]
Intermittent flickering in cockpit view on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs[edit]
- Players have reported an issue with Nvidia's Maxwell video cards where a single black frame is rendered at random moments when using cockpit view.[1][2]
Issues fixed[edit]
A poster on NoGripRacing details numerous fixes for a number of problems here.
Shift 2 Unleashed Pc Download
Should it be deleted, the text of the post is as follows:

Issues:
- Low graphics quality
- Low FPS and stutters
- Input lag
- Poor FFB
- Cars feel like floating instead of driving on asphalt
- AA not working
- Settings (car set-up, graphics) do not stick
Solutions:
- Force AF to 16x through the gfx card driver
- Edit
DampeningEnabled='1'
string to '0'
in vehicleset_pc_custom_pad.xml and reselect controller scheme in game (to custom pad of course). Should work with custom wheel file as well. Disbale 'Allow Game To Adjust Settings' in Logitech Profiler. - FFB is different for sure in Shift 2. The one thing really missing is tyre grip in the FFB.
- This is mostly caused by the default set-ups being very loose. See this thread for how to tweak set-ups for more responsive handling.
- Apparently AA in S2U is software-based that makes the 'classic' AA not work. With ATI cards, you can enable Morphological Filtering in the driver, this gives good AA but comes with a huge performance drop. For Nvidia cards, read this thread.
- To save a set-up, use the Shift button. However, there seems to be a bug in the game that reverts changed values to their old values.
Steering input lag[edit]
Input lag where you steer but the car doesn't respond for a significant amount of time can be resolved by changing the DampeningEnabled='1'
string to '0'
in vehicleset_pc_custom_pad.xml and reselecting the 'Custom' controller scheme in game.[3]
Low frame-rates in Origin version[edit]
Disable Origin In-Game |
---|
- In Origin, click the 'Origin' menu in the upper left, then select 'Application Settings'
- Go to the 'Origin In-Game' tab
- Disable the option 'Enable Origin In-Game' via the radio-button
