Putting all of the force feedback settings up to 100% in-game has certainly helped reduce my understeer - I think because it gives me more of a feeling of what is happening and has made me slightly smoother. Still on the fence about this new handling model.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Wheel here.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hmm, my game has stopped saving my progress no matter what I do - is that the same bug?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

My biggest issue at the moment is that the AI seems to have grip that I don't. Much prefer playing Borderlands at the moment - going to wait and see what they do with patches on this one (plus my save is corrupt anyway ).

 

[CaptainRAVE]

lol, that must be quite a shock!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Remember the replay file bug? that you had to make read only, 0kb for the fix. When it reached 2GB and your fps just dives with jerky pauses every 3 seconds or so... has anyone encountered it? some are reporting it on Codemasters forums.

Nope, first title in the series where I haven't encountered it.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Much quicker without GFWL

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Certainly! Love it!

However i've spent 2 hours trying to complete the first race and have failed.

Do what I have done and go back to borderlands until they patch this a little more

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well the AI seems to be able to turn just fine, my car doesn't though!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well finally fixed the save bug thanks to the heads up by Pandion

Completed Malaysia, finished 6th in the Torro Rosso which I was pretty happy with. China next, wonder if I will manage to find more pace there.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Even bigger gap between pro and legendary!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Yay, a track where I am easily the fastest (China)

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Shows you how messed up the physics are. I remember Brundle talking last year? where Schumacher brakes and accelerates a little to slow the car down. Fantasy F1.

And schumacher is doing so well in modern F1....

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Qualified 9th in my Marussia for the first race of the season. Somehow managed to keep that and finish 8th

Good job, I decided to start with a higher tier car this year though - couldn't face one of the back marking teams again!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Seriously, give it a rest VF. There are plenty of positives on there too. Forums always have a lot of negativity because people are much quicker to rush to a forum to complain when things are going wrong (the rest will be playing and enjoying the game...like myself) - I don't see why you are so keen to bash the game?

Bad_HatHarry - F1 2010 is nothing like 11 and 12, they both are greatly improved

 

[CaptainRAVE]

You must admit though that AI doing qualy times in the race is pretty game breaking for career mode though.

It is annoying, but it hasn't made much of a difference in the long run tbh.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Dropping GFWL has certainly been good for the community! Shows how much it holds games back.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

does the AI cheat in qualifying or does there car on the track match the times they set?

They didn't cheat last year, so don't see why that would change.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

That must be annoying as hell after 20 or so laps. Is that a bug that always happens, or just sometimes?

Have to admit I am very much enjoying this. Frustrating that the AI in a race isn't affected by cold tyres or fuel load, but I am enjoying the added challenge

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I am not sure if this happens all the time, i have reported the issue on CM technical forums though.

Hopefully it is something they fix. At least this time they are supporting the game well.
