I had Problems with random multi-second freezes throughout the week and spent hours trying to fix them - to no avail. Note that on every freeze, time was NOT freezing, so all that increased my lap times. In qualy I got lucky with one freeze-free lap, earning me a 10th place on the grid.
The race was a disappointing affair, every time I overtook some cars, a freeze happened and I ended up behind those cars again. Add a few frustration-induced unforced errors here and there and I ended up 13th or so, I think last one on the lead lap.
In the interlude between races I manically tried to restart and get back in, but it was too late. Better for everyone I guess. So no result in Race 2. Fortunately teamy Ramon got a 4th and a 2nd, running like a machine as always.
After the whole experience, I simply reinstalled Windows (not too difficult in Windows 10, I learned), installed a fresh Steam and RFactor and wheel driver etc, etc, etc, ETC and lo and behold: All problems were gone. Everything is running super smooth, even with slightly higher gfx settings as before (left all at defaults).
Keeping my fingers crossed, I can now concentrate on crashing problems of the other variety in Spa66 [small]WHY NOT A MORE MODERN SPA, WHY WHY WHY?[/small]
