Around the end of 2020 to the start of 2021, my NR2003 download just started to stutter and lag whenever I try to drive on any of the tracks, even redinstalling NR2003 on 1/5 didn't help at all. I recorded a video of what was happening as an example. If you got any tips to help me out, that would be greatful

OK, next question, what vid card are you using, how much ram do you have, have you made all the tweaks that have been suggested in hundreds of other posts, core ini, rend dxg. ini, player ini ??

Are you using the 4gig patch?

I just had the 4Gig patch installed today but the stuttering/fps issue is still there

As well, i'm working on a HP Pavilion x360 Laptop with a Intel Core i5, with 237 GB of space, 8 Gb of RAM, and a i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.11 GHz

First thing that comes to mind is a windows update messed up your game.
Second thought is are all your cars compressed to under 3mb
Third thing is to turn off opp pit crews.

The latest update that my Laptop had was on the 6th of January but the issues began around January 3rd-5th. As well, every car on the 9 mods installed are on the KB range and even with opponent AI pit crews off, the issue is still happening

Windows 10, version 20H2 is the update you may have received. Each major Windows 10 update has been tested to some extent by members of Microsoft’s Windows Insider program before it is broadly released to the public. With that said, the real beta testing is done by you and me and countless other users around the world. There may be some bugs associated with the version 20H2, with it being new. My laptop was installed with Windows 10, version 2004. That version was stable for me. If you believe rolling back could help:

Go to Settings and click "Update & Security" on the lower left hand side.

Then, click "View update history"

WU2.PNG

Go to "Uninstall updates"

WU3.PNG

Click on the update you want to remove. In this case, it is the 20H2 one.

WU4.PNG


Click on the update, which will open a this tab. Click Yes.

WU5.PNG

Once you click yes, the tab will ask you to restart your computer. BEFORE RESTARTING, MAKE SURE ANYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON HAS BEEN SAVED.

WU6.PNG

Once restarted, you will have the Windows 10 copy installed prior to the update. If the problem persist, you may want to clear cache on the laptop. Type "Disk Cleanup" on the search bar. Make sure the tab is on "Windows (C)" and click OK.

Click OK again.

DC2.PNG

Click "Delete Files"

DC3.PNG

Once finished, restart your laptop to clear the cache. If you did all of this and still have problems, then IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1/16 Update: I just checked my Update History updates and the 20H2 Update for Windows 10 doesn't pop up as updates that I can uninstall plus I reinstalled default NR2003 with no mods + WKC Patches + 4Gig patch.

I guess the only thing to try is the cache strategy

I had the same issue as you, and like you i don't have the option to uninstall the updates, the 20H2 and 2004 updates of W10 broke many games and programs, including NR2003, and the only thing to fix that is wait for a proper update from Microsoft...

ok, now it seems i may be having this issue, i had opened the game and had forgotten to hook up my controller, so i closed the window, reopened the game and then everything was laggy, but im going to restart my computer, maybe that will help

I attempted to switch up the game's Compatibility as a last ditch effort to get NR properly working, still got the issue. Guess I gotta wait until Windows sends out another update that can make the game properly work

Final Update: 2 new Windows Updates came from Microsoft today and now the game functions properly. Now the problems can be put to rest.
Great news, maybe tomorrow the update will be available for me, because i didn't have yet the updates, finally i will race again in my favourite sim!!

Here's a tip for you win 10 users, why not turn off auto update, set it to download but let you install, then wait a few days to see if anyone else is having trouble with the newest update. This kind of thing has happened numerous times, so why not be proactive first.
