***Official Formula One 2011 Thread***

Had a quick go just now, seems much more polished as expected.

It didn't like Crossfire cards though, 2x5850s were giving benchmark results of 20fps.. turning off one card boosted it to 120fps!

There is a topic on the Codemasters fourm for this issue, New ATI driver should fix it
 
This game looks really sweeet, Im not a fan of the series at all but I had to give this a bash

Included some screens for people who havent got this yet, it looks and plays fantastic

I think it looks super dooper and im now glued to this.. :D
 
How are people find the difficulty i am finding too easy on pro and too hard on legend.

I did a few gps in the redbull and was way off the pace so for my career i thought pro woud be the right setting but i got 4th on the grid with my team mate rubens in 2nd. I am currently racing and i am sat in 2nd quite easily.

just playing co-op with murray now,

great fun! The sauber is broken in co-op so we are in the torro rosso, Only had one team accident so far :D
 
Awesome game. Which looks and runs great.

2560 x 1440, max everything, 8xAA gets 40-50fps during the start of races. [email protected], 4gb ram, GTX570. Sure I could gain some fps with AA down but its fluid so will keep it like this.

Split screen mode too!

Im annoyed with my two 5850's in crossfire im getting 40fps in benchmark at 1920x1080 all ultra with 2xaa

then in the race the garage stuttery as hell untill i go to desktop and then re open the game screen, i have even downloaded the latest crossfire profiles on amd's website.

:/

Thats the annoying thing though. When the game releases you have to wait weeks or use some botched up Radeon Pro alternate. It's never ready for release.

I still never forgot about Crysis 2, it took 3 - 4 weeks after release before we saw anything decent.
 
First impressions are wow.

- Game looks very nice
- Runs extremely well
- Handling is much improved
- DRS + Kers both work well

Very impressed.

It's extremely satisfying to get a clean lap in on this game.

But imagine this: Xbox pad + No assists + DRS + Kers + Manual Gears (Now thats a challenge!).

Steering wheel the way to go for this one.
 
Anyone else on a 360 pad? Without traction control it's beyond a nightmare, and then some. I'm sure I'll be able to get it eventually, but initially, OMG.

360 pad advanced settings anyone?

Caved and bought it on Saturday, initial thoughts were it was a load of junk, but after spending a fair bit of time getting the wheel remotely drivable, realising that no matter what GFX settings you use, it still seems to get 30fps and barely hits 60% on GPU or CPU usage, and actually going out on track to try the game itself, it definitely feels like an improvement.

One thing i noticed very early on, via the benchmark, is that in the event of a traffic jam around Monaco, and things come to a halt, rather than there being a pile-up they simply drive straight through other cars.

Look far left, and theres 2 sets of tyres, one for d'Ambrosios Virgin you can just about see, and the other is someone else 'inside' him.

I suspect this isnt an issue elsewhere, but because the AI really seems to be horrible (watch a benchmark!) and that corner being chaos IRL anyway, this cheat seems to be used. It happens every other bench too, hardly a freak occurance. The first time i saw it it was very clear, and they just drove out like the other wasnt there and carried on regardless.
