This time mine was different to the pause problem that I sometimes get. This time my screen froze with the game carrying on without me. I could hear my car crashing and I could feel my wheel jolt. Then I found myself looking at my desktop with a message Graphics Drivers Crashed or something. Could not Alt-Tab back into game, so I killed the rfactor2.exe process.
Watching server replay, looks like my driver-less car bounced off the right barrier, then the left, then back into middle of road right into the path of Dan Bayford sending him deep into the gravel. Bill Lipscomb was not lucky too. Hope it was just a one off, big sorry.
This was not some evil plan to let my girlfriend win the race or anything, well done Harri
Dan Mingers, the problem you are reporting, the makers of the game call this 'dropping out of real-time'. Your CPU must have been struggling with all the cars close by at the start. Next time it happens you can check by looking at the Purple bar. Ctrl-C to bring it up. If it is maxed out then it shows you in trouble.
