Luckily I haven't had any pausing. I did have pausing with F1 2002 and CFS3
both caused my detonator drivers. The 28.32's for F1 2002 and the 40.72
(beta) for CFS3. I'm using the official drivers (30.82's) and nothing
stutters for me now. I do notice that some turns get a little choppy
(reminds me of Sports Car GT which was poorly coded since it never ran
smooth for me even a few years later).
BTW, what are your settings and how are your fps? I'm using fraps to test
fps and I get a pretty steady 35+ on most courses (the lowest is Hockenheim
long straight it drops to 25) running 1600x1200x32-bit no FSAA and all
graphics set to max or on depending on the item (except I turned mirrors off
since it seems to be a fps hog). Again like SCGT which had terrible mirrors.
I'm surprised a modern game has mirror trouble, F1 2002 runs silky smooth on
my system with mirrors and a full field of cars (30 start of race 50 during
the race). The mirrors aren't a biggie for now since I programmed my wheel
button to look back and I'm looking at a new processor in a month or two.
My specs: AMD 1600+/512 MB RAM/GF4 ti4400 (30.82).
