so there site seems to be down for me atm...

im downloading the setup exe now via torrent, when thats done i purchase the game through that program and im able to play the beta and when the games released theres no more charge for it?

how do you install the mods for it???

Download the rfmod files, place in a folder, load the game and its pretty self explanatory for there

When you purchase the game, your basicly pre ordering it. No more charges other than the 13$ per year.

oh and dont use the torrent, i linked a HTTP location. you can download it in <30 mins from there. look back a few posts

Can't play this game at night without waking up the whole street the noise that the wheel makes

Thats because the forcefeedback is totally different than Codemasters sucky games. You need to set it lower amongst other settings. It's been a while since I've been in rFactor but my G25 never rattles the way you're talking.

Why has the UI not been updated... it's still ugly as sin like rFactor. Could they have not modernized it... even after 5/6 years.

 

[Murray]

Its not just me, everyone on the ISI forums is having the same problem. They don't have any options in game to turn it down either.

Just purchased and given my first 5 minutes of testing (also getting the rattling, did turn down the 'car specific FFB multiplier' which reduced it, still a bit nasty though, don't think I woke my housemate/neighbours )

Not overly impressed so far, tried the 68 winged car around Spa, track is nice, car just feels dead so far, no idea what it's doing. My very first impressions, which are probably wrong and will be updated, is that the FF is as crap as rF1 so we need a new 'realfeel' mod already, if so that's really poor frankly.

Anyway, as said very first impressions after 5 minutes of play, if that, so take with a pinch of salt and I'll update this afternoon, now off to work

 

[jonneymendoza]

What about graphics? it seems like its no better then rf1? Anyone tried online yet?

Some mixed first impressions at racedepartment too, a tad disappointing to be honest. I have the files ready to install but not sure wether to take the plunge now. I have some very good quality mods in rF1 that look, feel and run great so I have no real need to move to an underwhelming beta.

Guess what im playing at 7am anyone wanna play online? i wanna test server hosting. Add me on steam iamoverdrive or rtwoverdrive for xfire.

graphics could be better but there not bad. not tried online yet. There are some texture popping or flashing going on but its a beta

 

[jonneymendoza]

Yea the Graphics are dissapointing. thats what many are saying and the ffb is redicolous at only 50%.

Also, people with i7 920's and a decent 2 year old high end card cant even play this maxed out on a game that looks slightly better then rf1! And with that same components, they are capable of playing BF3 at ultra settings which of course looks night and day.

ok not a fair comparison but pC.A.R.S is a better comparison with BF3ish graphics that can be maxed out by many

 

[Gimpymoo]

Give it chance, this is BETA... what do people expect, a fully optimised game?
