Used CryoUtilities. Unsure if performance is worse without it but generally I would recommend it.
Some smaller text in the game, particularly when adding fixtures to the car, can be difficult to read but a settings adjustment could fix that.
The major updates to Automation multiple times a year means it is difficult to keep up to date on its stability however generally the small development team are very good at keeping the game relatively stable.
Playing with multiple workshop subscriptions are also possible. It just slows down the game's boot up time a bit.
Used CryoUtilities. Unclear if performance is worse without it but generally it does help so I do recommend it.
Set TDP to 10 if required and set a frame limit of around 50
The game is slow to load levels. Bootup is fast but loading up stages can take longer than expected for an NVMe SSD.
Despite any bugs the game may have (I didn't experience any but many people have), the game runs in a stable manner and it really is as simple as just downloading and playing.
Initial setup of packages can be slow but after that, the rest is fine. Except for menus...

Assign a Back Grip Button to ESC and another for your keyboard assigned pit limiter. You can set two of the buttons to be gear up and down as well.
The settings can be difficult to read if your vision isn't brilliant but generally it is all alright.
Detailed and large maps can take a very long time to load but the average circuit track runs fine after it loads.
Workshop content and rFactor 2 made DLC addons are easy to install and run as long as you have the storage for it. Game can run with multiple AI drivers on a detailed track at 40+ FPS on mediumish graphic settings at native resolution. Although loading up the tracks can take a while, once the initial package extraction is done when you first install the game, boot up is quite quick. Menus are a big issue. If you use the touch screen, you often need to tap on a button twice for it to work. The exception is where you are tapping on an arrow key (such as in the car setup menu) where tapping on it once then tapping anywhere else on the screen activates the button. This behaviour is still weird and I would recommend using a mouse to navigate the menus. Considering the amount of keyboard shortcuts rFactor 2 uses, I would also recommend a keyboard although it isn't necessary. I personally don't use one but again, it can help.
