Oh man I've had some issues with this game...

First, it hung on the loading screen after starting a career - Fixed that by setting the Refresh rate to below "143".

Then I had it give me a total "Black screen" while I was driving - I removed my overclock, and I've not had a problem since.

Fortunately, that seems to be all the issues I've had - I've literally only made it to the 2nd practice of the first race, and now I've started drinking with mates and don't want to ruin my brand spanking new F1 career :p

Will return tomorrow with many races :D

From what I've seen though - I'm impressed - Using just a GTX 970, the races are smooth as silk at 1440p Ultra High, only frame rate collapse is during the laptop and agent cutscenes :)

What exactly is "pro career"? Is it just career with all assists off etc?


which keys is it ? i ask as i have xbox symbols on my menu and dont match the same menu screen.

also the difficulty change is greyed out. cant change.

That's strange. I assumed you could change difficulty from the main menu but you can't!

The only way to change difficulty i can see is when the session is loading and the menu for weather/session length etc. pops up. You just use RB? to switch across to "race settings" and it should be in there :)

Sold out on cdkeys :(

Really wow purchased it like two hours ago I think on CD Keys got a Steam Key so I must have got the last of his batch...

Anyone not got a mouse pointer for menus? The G29 wheel I have isn't great at navigating the menus.

Also, why can't I turn on skidmark blending? And is it me or are the sparks I saw in preview videos missing?

Handling is superb, GFX not so good IMO on this one. But can't have a it all, its not ugly guess ACR and Project Cars has really spoiled me.

FFB is also as mentioned quite harsh - but got the FFB I think dialed in now.

that just made me go ooh forgot, silverstone now has black n white kerbs.. lol

Yeah hot lapping at the moment, this is a good F1 game, replays look better then in game if I'm honest.

Seems codemasters have nailed it this year..

Is anyone getting a weird audio glitch, where some cars engines make a weird buzzing sound (almost like rapidly applying throttle then lifting off).
It first happened during the benchmark and i ignored it but now it's happening in races?

Yup, just highest difficulty on everything it looks like!

Definitely won't be trying that too soon :o

Cant use my real surname it may cause offence the game says :confused:
Rev counter LED's on G29 don't light up:(

Yes I'm having issues with my G29.

Sensitivity is also a bit off, I normally use 50% but had to whack it up to nearly 80% using Logitech profile.

But it handles really well, I'm still hot lapping etc, to find a setting I really like, they are all feeling good , but I'm sure I can get it dialed right in, racing games with wheels usually take me a few hours to get dialed in...
