After absolute disaster in Monaco time and time again, I settled for a DNF and cried a bit inside. But I moved on to finish 3rd qually in Istanbul then 1st in the race, woo first podium!

PS: are thumb transplants available on the NHS? :o

This is what annoys me, if you're running say, 15th, do you really care what your sector times are compared to the leader? Wouldn't it be much better if it were to the drivers around you? They haven't answered this question, which was my biggest problem really (beside the obvious pit lane bug and the like, but those are bugs and can be patched).

It's like Timo Glock driving around in a virgin, getting regular updates about Alonso's pace and how much slower he is. It couldn't be more useless information.

I totally agree. They seem to have dodged this as a fundamental issue with the game. I don't understand their explanation. I'd much rather have meaningful split times than skipping to sectors or time compression or whatever they can't do with it. Not sure what they mean by exploits, never stopped the other million racing games with this feature!

The other most irritating thing that needs sorting (and I don't believe was mentioned) was the online problem with joining races in session and so on.

Just tried the directx 11 hack, WOW - Singapore at night in the wet with tessellation and ambient occlusion looks stunning and the frame rate has gone up too. Serious improvement, I'm sure the patch will enable it officially but if you've got time it's worth doing the hack.

Killing Catalyst AI is also essential at the moment, I'm now at a solid 60fps with everything maxed in DX11 at 1920x1080 8x AA on a single 5870 (4ghz i7). Awesome game :)

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out myself later. Hopefully the sound stuttering and performance issues will also be fixed soon. Damn, that's another thing Codemasters didn't mention.

Codemaster seem to be just making excuses for why things are the way they are, rather than accepting they did a bad job.

Disappointing 'update' if you ask me, don't bank on any anything more than a few minor bug fixes.

How do you turn on DX11 ?
 
I cant get the car set up right in SIlverstone.



i either not make the car responsive enough turn in or i get the opposite and make it too responsive and lose times on the straights.

I don't get the damage model in this game, it seems totaly random, i was in a session in spa, whacked Schumacher and not a scratch, took a bit too much curb later on and spun and tapped the wall, wheel, suspension and front wing went flying session over??

Not sure if it was you but did you sort out your gtx 460 problem ?
 
i got a 260 and no i not sorted out my low GPU and CPU usage problems:(

Done my first race with the AI today, decided to go for Spa Expert Mode at 20% distance, started on pole for the race, i got a ok start only dropping 3 places to 4th, by the end of the first lap i was in 1st again, pitted on lap 3 for tires thankfully by now i had such a lead that i could get in and out again before any of the AI got to pitlane for me to get held:D unfortunatly in my haste i got a drive through for speeding in the pitlane:mad: so served it on the next lap, this dropped me to 5th with hamilton out in front not pitted but the other 3 had so i came out right behind them, by the end of that lap i was P2 and with 3 laps to go Hamilton pitted and gave me the lead, then i took the win.

All in all with a drive through i won by 17.8 seconds, and people say the AI aren't slow?;)
 
That guy a few days ago saying his 8800gtx worked great may not have been lying... Im at max settings, 1680x1050 4xMSAA and its fantastic. Might dial the AA up more.

Oh i do love my new i5 760.

Done a full race at Spa last night, 3 laps in it started to rain. The first 3 laps i was struggling to keep up and had Sutil behind me causing issues down the long straight. However once it started spitting with rain most of the AI went mad, losing time etc. I gained places upto 3rd and by lap 6 the AI was pitting for inters. Knowing the pit lane bug, and how well i was i going i kept on for one more lap and at le combe i looked a right amateur as i went off and spun. I then done a lewis hamilton and slid wide into the gravel. That lap on slicks was the longest ever.

Came out in 14th, and then started 10-15laps catching everyone up at 4-6seconds a lap. Then the switch was turned on and inters became impossible. Again i pitted a lap later and again it was as if my grip had been turned off. Got a 10second time penalty (for when someone hit my slow car up the behind) then got to full wets. Dropped to 8th, got to first within 10 laps, then pulled out 30 seconds before the end. Weird.
 
Well punctures are completely random. Got a puncture, came into the pits for brand new tyres, drove out. of the pits, the limiter went off and got another puncture.

I've come into the pits far too frequently to put on brand new tyres, only to get a puncture the second I'm teleported to the track. Does my nut in and is a complete waste of tyres. If that happened in real life, I wouldn't be surprised if you found some teams using up their entire tyre allocation for a race weekend.

So, you've finished the whole season or just the first two races??

Does that include full fuel and tyre simulation? What race distance are you doing?
Click to expand...

Tyre and fuel on, full damage, no traction or brake assist. 20% distance.

I've only done three races, so I shouldn't be beating Legendary already should I?

I'm wondering if the AI doesn't like the lower race distances? :confused:
 
I won my first race out in my career on legendary by some margin in a Force India. We need more difficulty!

I found the AI was very slow through the middle section of Bahrain, maybe something going on there.
 
Sorry if this has already been answered but is it possible to have a full championship season with 2 players online and the rest of the field AI and is it saveable so we can go back to it??

Thanks......

Go to Catalunya and then see if you can win ;)

Well that's just daft, why should I ace certain circuits and then be miles behind on others? Sure there will be slight drift in strengths and weaknesses but not night and day.

I'm using my old Momo with no force feedback (it's broke), I know this game is very arcade like but still it should be pushing me harder. I don't want to take easy victories in a Sauber against 'legendary' drivers. :(
 
I decided to fire this up for some multiplayer in eyefinity last night with some friends using my new Logitech wheel/pedals setup.

Had to drop the Multisampling to 2x at 5760x1200 (was 8x @ 1920x1200) but i was very impressed and the speed of it I am currently running my i7 @ 3.2ghz (3.4 turbo) and a single 5870 @ stock speeds. Im not sure what fps i was getting but to my eyes it was fluid and no jerkyness which is all that matters really to me as a player.

I also cannot seem to do a decent lap of Monaco, im unsure why on a lap were i make a mistake it comes up with invalidated next lap etc.

All other settings are on high.
