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

Well I Was playing this all night last night and I aint even raced yet.

Picked the HRT and to begin with was 12 seconds off my team mate who was doing 2:05 laps of Bahrain in practice. After hours of getting used to the game I managed to get my times down to 2:02 was 11th in Quali one. Then the game crashed to desktop :(

I've got all aids off, toughest AI and everything full simulation and the lowest downfirce setting for Bahrain. I'm using a Logitech DFP and loving it and this game has convinced me to get a G27. I was sweating and concentrating very hard to get the best lap times. Maybe some people are finding it too easy using the other teams cars, but for me this is how I like the difficulty. I doubt I could do a 49 lap race like this, going to go for 10 laps to start with or I might end up in tears if I crash!

Didn't realise that funny edges were down to heat haze?? Thought they were jaggy edges in arknor's pic.

I'm guessing the game won't unlock until America is outta bed, 3pm or after. Kinda lame wanted to play it during the day. :(

Hi. Steam did unlock the game for play at midnight, but (obviously) some of you are having issues which say it's not available for play. Can I get a bit more information?

You were preloaded, I'm presuming, and what happens when you try and play? Preload button says it's not ready yet or been unlocked? Still the same when you log out of Steam entirely and log back in?

Caldera.

Maybe a steam bug that needs to be fixed via a steam update, who knows.

Interestingly, I had a solid 60 fps with everything on high vsync off. I've now but everything possible on to Ultra.... still solid 60fps.

This game must be doing some framerate limiting other than vsync, either that or ultra does absolutely nothing to anything. Time to double the res (3840x1080) and see if that drops my fps at all
 
Caldera on Codemasters forum just posted this: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/f1-2010-game-1316/429458-steam-8.html

'Thanks. I know from personal experience that sometimes it takes a little while to trigger over into 'Play' from 'Preload' but this time delay is (clearly) very wrong. I'm sorry I wasn't around beyond midnight and into the early hours of the morning.

Will stay on this for you all and get some resolution after we speak to Steam.'
 
Hi guys,


I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive from Competitor, I just hope it's there waiting for me when I get from work!

Quick question, are all the car models fixed or do they feature some areo updates like having the mirrors mounted on the body rather than the side pods, f-ducts, and blown diffusers? Essentially to have cars represented as they raced in specific races rather than a generic launch model?

FPS dropped to about 50, GPU usage still around 70% in game though. Something seriously wrong with this, unless it's the most CPU intensive game ever

F-Fucts? haha :p I have seen the F-ducts on the Mercedes from video/images whether it's usable is another question I would assume so.
