PCM lags, slows down and speeds up every 3-5 sec.
Bergenser
Hello,

I am new to the PCM game, as 2020 is my first time playing, I should have more than a good enough setup to run the game, and my FPS is solid on 100+ on max settings, but the game stutters to the point of it being absolutely unplayable.

Its not the typical lag as it doesnt really freeze, its like a stutter in time, where it slows down and then speeds up to catch back up again, and this happens every 3-5 sec or so. Even in the main menu I can see that the mouse stutters and stops at certain points.

Anyone know of this issue?

Some tips that might help:
Run PCM.exe in admin mode
Disable any background software
Run offline
Update graphics drivers

NEW (see below): Disable v-sync or similar (g-sync...) in both game and NVIDIA menus

I've had this issue occasionally before but today it's driving me nuts!
In fact I've traced my issue to a movement of the mouse cursor.....

Perhaps it's the same for you?

A weird bug none the less and pretty unplayable.

Just reinstalled windows 10 and all my games with a new SSD but got freezes when commentator was about to speak during races.

I had a headache finding what the issue was but I found it: It is related to the NVIDIA driver and settings.

I disabled all V-Sync settings (it was set to adaptative) both in NVIDIA and PCM menus, let windows manage pagefile for virtual memory (it was disabled) and this solves the stuttering/lag issue in game.
