Whenever I'm racing, the game slows down a bit and it freezes for like 1 second. This may not seem much, but, by the time speed gets back to normal I'm usually off the road (no mater how i keep the steering wheel). I used to have 256MB RAM and a S3Savage 64MB Video Card. I got 1GB RAM and an ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MB. But I still have the same problem. My processor is a Celeron 2.13 and the latest DirectX. Am I the only one with this problem? Anyone got a fix for this?

Hello , i get this little pause too and i believe is some programs running at the background ... close all programs running and see if it happens, bye.

I have a similar problem, and it definitely isn't something in the background.

For me, it actually happens under pretty special circumstances: let's say I'm going 100kph and I induce an oversteer that turns me around by 180 degrees. The speed will fall to like 50-80, but now I'm going reverse! As I brake, the speed will keep going down, and as it crosses 0kph (I'm on throttle by then) I will get a huge fall in fps rate (like <1-2). This happens about every third time, even in replays.
Not sure if it matters, but I always run LFS in windowed mode. It's hardly an issue for me, as the circumstances like above only happen when I'm warming up the tires prior to a hotlap.
