I have to say...after completing at least 200 laps on various circuits, I have not yet had a single puncture, though I do use the "no damage" feature, so I'm not sure if this is what is protecting my tyres. If I allowed for realistic damage, perhaps my tyres would also get punctured regularly.

yup, no damage = no punctures... thats why ive only had one. lol.
 
Certified (from a platform point of view) doesn't check for game bugs as such and more along the lines of will the game cause any issues to PSN/XBL or GFWL network. So they just check if it will deploy correctly, not have any conflicts and make sure there isn't any data corruption.
 
What do Microsoft test exactly? it can't be the quality of the product else they wouldn't have released it to begin with... do they test that there are no gamerscore exploits etc in it?
 
Details of the patch

1. Corrupt Save Games - We have identified an over-zealous anti-cheating check that manifested as falsely identified corrupt saves, specifically the ones relating to practice and R&D upgrades, the save-games should now load without issue.*

2. AI not pitting in dry races where a mandatory pit stop was required (20% or more) – This has been fixed.

3. Player held in pit-stop too long – We’ve improved exit logic so that it isn’t too cautious in holding players during a pit-stop.

4. Puncture frequency reduced – The likelihood of players suffering punctures has been reduced.*

5. Pit-stop lock-ups - Fixed several instances which caused the pit crew to lock-up and not be able to service the cars.

6. Automatically updating race strategy – Selecting prime tyres from the tyre menu (over default option) now updates the strategy so that the pit-crew assign options during the pit stop as opposed to re-attaching another set of primes (in a dry race of 20% or more).

7. First lap calculates correctly – The lap time for the first lap of the race now calculates correctly, from the lights going out as opposed to the cars crossing the start line.


In addition to these fixes Codies have also made improvements to the game based on the Codemasters forum feedback:-


1. OSD changes – showing split times rather than gap to leader – We’ve changed how the OSD timing information functions so that split times are now displayed on the OSD, showing race time and race time differences to the other cars – I.e. how far ahead/behind are at a sector boundary.

2. AI affected more by damage received – Damage sustained by an AI’s car will have a greater effect their handling characteristics, effectively slowing damaged AI down more. AI cars that cannot maintain a racing speed will naturally yield to faster cars & come into the pits for repairs. As before, If they receive too much damage, they will retire from the race.

3. AI yielding to other cars when not on flying lap in qualifying - Improved AI behaviour to move off the racing line or out of the player’s way when the player is on a flying lap.

4. Increased wheel support – Increased wheel support and force feedback tweaks (where applicable) for the following wheels; Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Force Feedback (officially supported), Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience (officially supported), Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Pro Clutch (not officially supported but will work), Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S & GT3 RS2 (both officially supported).

5. Wet weather improvements - Rebalanced graphical and handling effect of cars driving on a wet track - the level of wetness has been increased as well as tyre trails being made more prominent.

6. Improved Damage Modelling – Tweaks to the damage system so that more damage is visible / received during lesser impacts.

7. Next lap invalidated time trial logic - In time trial the next lap is no longer invalidated for any offence committed in the 3rd sector. It is calculated per track and is predominantly based on the final corner.

8. AI: Driver Behaviours - Addressed some issues in driver behaviour balancing that were causing occasionally unrealistic finishing positions.
 
Hi there,

After one seasons hard work I don't want to loose my progress. Can someone tell me which files I need to copy to save my progress as I need to do a format of my HD?

I presume I need to copy the 'My Games' folder but I want to be sure there is nothing else I need to copy.

If someone could help me here I would be grateful!

Cheers

:)

You want the "Formula One" > "savegame" folder inside My Games. Apparently the patch coming soon will fix your save file though.
 
Still can't get this to run :( (I have had this running, I'm half way through my Career)

Tested with each single 5770 in my rig.

Tested with all overclocks to stock

Tested with soundcard disabled in device manager.

Tested with old ATi drivers which used to work, and with new ones..

Still no gameplay :(

I just loads up.. then either locks up at the first few menu screens, leaving only sound playing in the background. Or hardlocks my pc.

I've also tried going into Programs/Features and clicking 'uninstall game' then chosing the repair option to see if it has fixed it. No joy as of yet!

Worth a reinstall of the game?

I got this till eventually I installed the "Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE" separately and made an account, then it let me get into the game but it would lag like crazy and crash, if you can get to this stage you can go into the settings and turn down the gfx till it's stable.

If you can't get to the stage where you're turning down the gfx, maybe there is some backdoor way to do so by editing a setup file? Probably worth while checking on the dedicated forums :)
 
I seem to *touch wood* have this working now..

It only started working when I closed Xfire.. :o so I shall not be using that anymore!!!
 
Only 35MB...No way have they fixed all the bugs with this small patch. But we will see(when the PC gets it)
