On a tight budget and am trying to get this weed eater running and in removing the carb for inspection/cleaning, I noticed the tank vent, part #6 in the diagram attached appears to be in 2 pieces as the top of it popped off when I removed the tank. Is this part meant to be in 2 pieces or could that be the issue I was having with a severe loss of power/rpms? If not meant to be in 2 pieces, I assume I need to replace it so does it just pop out of the tank? I pried on it a little but thought I better get some input before I ruin something I don't need to. Any help appreciated.

I'll start by saying I have a lot of hours in Wreckfest and have played across 3 PCs over the last few years and this is the first time I am having this much of an issue with my FPS degrading over a single play session, sometimes in as little as 30 mins. I know Wreckfest is horribly optimized but although I have always experienced a little of this, it has never been close to this bad. I regularly play BF6, Forza Horizon 5/Motorsports, EA WRC Generations, AC BF Resynced, etc. with zero issues and here are the things I have tried.

- File Integrity check with Steam shows no issues

- Turning off all mods no joy

- Uninstalling/Reinstalling game no joy

- Prioritized net traffic thru my router using it's QoS functionality no joy

- Tested for VRAM leaks by reloading GPU driver in real time (WIN+CNTRL+SHIFT+B) no joy

- Set the CPU Affinity to only Power cores no joy

My Wreckfest sessions start out in the 250-400fps range and then degrade game after game until I am below 30fps and game is unplayable. This happens on every server I play on and has only started recently but does happen every time I play and typically happens over the span of 60-90 mins. GPU/CPU temps are monitored in real time and show no issues regarding temps/throttling. System stats in the image attached. Any suggestions not listed here would be appreciated and clarifications can be provided as needed.

Perfect example of just keep pushing, no matter how it's going in the moment.

New to the game and not really interested in grinding Career Mode, especially since I seem to have access to all cars from the beginning, but I would like a way to track my progress thru the different Rally's under Quick Play as I grind lap times. Is there a way in-game to keep track of the stages I have completed along with the best times in each rally that I am overlooking? If not, is there a mod that provides a way to track this other than me creating a spreadsheet and tracking the times on my own? Thanks and I am really enjoying the game so far.

I'll start by saying I did a search for this specific issue and did not find anything. I am trying to map manual shifting on my Xbox Series X controller to match what I have in Forza and Wreckfest in that I want upshift to be Rt Stick Back. downshifts to be Rt Stick Forward and if a clutch is needed, have that on Rt Stick Rt. Works flawlessly in my other games but I can't seem to get the upshift and downshifts mapped correctly as I can set one, hit B to go back, set the other to the opposite of the previous and they both default to the same orientation. Is the controller shifting setup described not allowed in these games?

Anyone else getting more server errors after the most recent update? Mine was generally stable for 24 hours or so and now I am rebooting it every six hours.

What actually happens when high ping players(s) join a server where most are enjoying a low ping experience as it seems after the high ping players join, everyone's ping suffers. Is this a legit thing and what can be done about it server-side?

First laps of last night's racing as that is where most of the action is and it also shows my approach in working to survive the first lap without a big shunt. Really enjoying all the new servers poppin' off with the game on deep discount on Steam's Summer Sale attracting new players and bringing some former players back.
