What happened to the F1RC patch?

They said the 16th, I said bollocks. I was right.

This is the reply I got when I emailed Ubisoft recently: there is a patch already in production that is addressing both controller and AI issues.it should be available in the near future from http://www.ubisoft.co.uk/support/ Regards Stuart Brooking Ubisoft Technical Support Ben Coleman <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3aee3935$[email hidden]...

Let's hope it's the very near future. I just bought this sim yesterday and I see an excellent sim ruined by the worst AI I have ever seen in a racing game.

I can't run F1RC unless I delete the Saves/Configs folder before each session. And that's even if I've just rebooted. Never seen anything like it before and I've tried everything I can think of--game and desktop res set the same, turning on and off every graphics option in the game one option at a time (and dammit that gets tiresome!), enditall and killhelp--nothing works.

Try this. Before you start the game, push down on both your brake and gas pedal until they are halfway to the floor. Then start the game and hold them that way until after you click the '1 player' button. Then you can release them and try racing. I have to do this or it screws up my controls. I think what happens is that when the game starts, it looks at all of your input axis and expects them to be 'centred' or it will think you haven't calibrated and messes the controls up.

Well, my problem is that unless I delete the Configs folder, F1RC either dumps me to the desktop or freezes the computer at the track loading screen. Doesn't matter if I've rebooted the machine or not. Once I leave the sim, I have to delete that folder to run it again. Period. I'm willing to try the suggestion, though. At this point I'm desperate. :-) Jerry Morelock

Can you seriously finish a race in this game without being knocked out by some kamaikaze AI conrolled player?

Can you seriously finish a race in this game without > being knocked out by some kamaikaze AI conrolled player? Gad, who knows? All my time in F1RC has revolved around running a hot lap, changing settings, deleting files then rebooting the computer. I could try running a race, I guess, but the bug I'm experiencing aggravates the hell out of me to do that. I'm going to wait until the patch and/or I get the new vid card and see what happens. If the problem's still there after that I'll have an imported copy of F1RC for sale. Jerry Morelock
