It's looking likely it won't be released until 6pm on Steam in UK.

Appears that they updated their website with the new countdown yet didn't update the release time. They probably gained more customers with the new countdown as well! Hmph!

Hopefully it does actually unlock at that time!

 

[MOOGLEYS]

ah, i see steam preorders are living up to my expectations,

shame how my friends list have players on the game but everyone at OcUK tech is furiously waiting for the game to unlock.


with this in mind, and the game being 'released' on the store...

does anybody know when its actually going to be made live?

Does this mean if i place an order today its unlikely to get sent as your all busy playing F1....Would i be best waiting until monday...

 

[arknor]

doesnt look like its possible to remove the colour tint fully and its different colour for every track....
its edited via a hex editor in each tracks effects.xml file but under post process theres another effects.xml with further colour tint values which i havent tried editing.
not sure if this looks more real or not but atleast the grass isnt the same colour as it was everywhere else
first pic is with changed colour tint values

you know that we will all be 100% hard at work all day.

[arknor]

btw if anyones wanting to change the colour tint themselfs for some of the tracks to make them look less dull heres how

Well, replacing the Catalunya's lighting.xml file with the one from the Spa Franchorschamp folder actually improved A LOT the image quality!

The sepia palette is not completely gone, but it has been reduced consistently

To get rid of the tint you'll have to edit the effects.xlm (I used hex editor) and set the gamma tintAmount to 0 but it still doesn't become completely transparent that's why you'll also change the tint color from **** brown to white. To do that replace tintColour 88, 66, 7, 255 with 255, 255, 255, 255.

That's how I got the picture I linked previously. And there's plenty of other settings to play around with.

I compared the Spa lighting in Catalunya with the original lighting in Catalunya (tint removed in both cases) and to me it looks better with original.

Also different tracks have different tints. For example Catalunya has

but Spa has

Thanks arknor
I will try this when I get it installed. Does it have much effect on the FPS?

 

[SPARC]

That first pic looks a lot better than the second Arknor, the second pic looks like fog has rolled in over the circuit.

do all the tracks look like this, what i mean is do they look foggy ??

[cplhardnut]

Still on preorder lock oh well at least i can watch singapore practice

 

[arknor]

My F1 looks nothing like yours. Yours looks like the Xbox version or something

post a screenshot from eau rouge like mine? ive im not getting the settings i should i want to see evidence so i can track down whats wrong.

so far ive only saw screenshots that look the same as mine, that eau rouge shot is a bit distorted from the heat haze of the engine though so maybe thats why people think it looks bad? (actually its not the engine its an actual heat haze effect covering the track).

give me 4mins ill upload a video off the same corner and someone can check if my game really looks worse than theres, i'd love to be proved my game settings arent working properly and other peoples look better

 

[craig3000]

FML, steamm you disappoint. Really how difficult is it to make a game unlocked ffs.

On another note if I get an email saying I have this job I won't give a toss

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

So nobody knows when this will unlock? The store says it's available now but when I go to my library it gives me the following message: "When the game is officially released you'll be able to play it immediately".

That clearly isn't the case.

 

[unKn0wn]

Has anyone done full race distance on Bahrain yet? 49 Laps. I'm just wondered how long the Prime tyres last. I've been a bit stupid and wrecked my Option's in Qually.

Lol, was just doing a race at Melbourne and it started raining.
I was on the slick tyres and chose to stay out. It was chucking it down and i still managed to get pole ><
Rain + Slicks = Pole (apparently )
