@GeneralD - did you work out how to do the sig? Seems you have the same as me now

To activate F1 2011 using a VPN once it goes live in the US, use this guide - http://nogamenotalk.com/2009/10/28/how-to-access-borderlands-on-steam-now/

Has worked for me everytime

yes bud, did you use the steamutility site for it? Seems there are quite a few different ones.

I think I did it directly through Steam (the Community section), but I can't remember how sorry, it was too long ago for me to remember

I did use Steam Utility, but I had a lot of problems with it not displaying most of the time.

I also had to hyperlink it to my profile manually.

Edit: Apparently I used this one - http://steamstatus.com/

They were never going to get every track right - lets hope they patch it this time!

when you touched a kerb you would go spinning

This shouldn't happen anymore

Edit: Didn't realise the cars set actual quali times this year!

Finished preloading an hour or so ago. Steam is downloading another 130.3Mb now? They forget to add something or have added a last minute patch?

Shopto are excellent with preorders, shame you havent gotten yours yet.

Sucks that I can't play this until at least 30th Sepetember - I am having a lot of fun away at the moment though

Some of you have this?

And on torrent sites it goes..

Here i am.. patiently awaiting the 23rd September whilst everyone else plays.

Always the same. I can't play it until at least the 30th of this month

Hoping my Force EX wheel works as well with this as it did with F1 2010. The game looks great

The time trials are amusing as well. Very few people run without driver aids.

I thought there were weight penalties this year for using driving aids?

Yeah but your doing something important doesn't count. I still have to wait for you to get back so we can do co-op

It'll be worth the wait

You owe me an apology too

Said that it would come today.

I'm not being like serious saying it in a jokey way.

It will arrive tomorrow, all ready for the weekend

CaptainRAVE · 23 Sep 2011 at 19:52

Hope they manage to fix CrossfireX

Yeah sure aslong as it's melbourne

Having fun? Post some more videos

CaptainRAVE · 23 Sep 2011 at 20:49

Post more

Seriously want to play this - nearly drove 150 miles to play it for a day

Oh well, this time next week hopefully!

Has anyone noticed the replay.pbf 2GB file bug is back? I had to make it read only as it causes frame skips and missed downshifts.

In 2010 I had to move the replay file to my HDD from my SDD and make a link from the old, to the new location. Fixed all the problems for me.

It took me a while to work this out, if your press enter on the keyboard it reverts your controls to keys instead of wheel which is idiotic. My profile has a steering wheel setup saved, why not just load that?!

It was exactly the same in Dirt 3 and even more annoying when it doesn't recognise any start buttons on your wheel. I eventually got it to work (think my fix is around the web somewhere) - will probably have to sort this out before I start playing F1 2011. That and moving the replay file

Second... Behind me

Although there's someone ahead of me now who's quite obviously used the 11/11 suspension setup if you download their ghost... Grrs

Hope this gets fixed and the leaderboards reset. I remember being top of a lot of the leaderboards shortly after release last year - lots of good people out there though (and exploiters

).

Any news on a crossfirex patch from ATI or Codies?

LOL my longest lock up is 370 feet.

Neat, it tells you these stats?

Hoping my Force EX works as well with this as it does with 2010, otherwise I will end up getting the GT I think.
