I think I remember reading somewhere the first patch due for F1RC was being released on the 15th or 16th April? Has anyone seen it, and whats it supposed to fix (hopefully the damn AI!)?
I don't think they will be releasing it today. It is easter monday you know. I think it is very strange of them to pick this date for the release of the patch. If they really do release it today I will eat my old hat. :-) "Matt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9RzC6.11170$[email hidden]... > I think I remember reading somewhere the first patch due for F1RC wasbeing > released on the 15th or 16th April?

Well I mean thats what I figured too, being Easter weekend. Companies usually dont even release stuff over weekends, so being holidays is even stranger. But then thats the date they said, so....

How can they know when a patch will be done ahead of time? Doesn't jive with me and shouldn't with you guys either.

It sort of works both ways though, or a case of you're damned if you do or you're damned if you don't. Papy is being flamed being non-commital to a patch let alone a date, and it's likely Ubisoft will be flamed for being commital for a patch, but missing the date. Unless the patch had been submitted for final testing before the date was given, then I would be skeptical of the date. It's done when it's done, but a patch is in the works is good enough for me. Cheers, Rod.
I just read in the alpha f1 forum that the patch is finished and is now being approved by FIA. God knows why they need to to this. "Rod Prince" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MPG.154654654496e2e9989862@news-server...

To make sure that the programmers didn't put in code that would allow more than two or three online racers at once of course! And to make sure that the powers of F1, Ferrari and Mclaren cannot be beaten by such lowly marks as Arrows and Minardi....isn't it obvious?? dave henrie "Greatdane" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9bhoef$9ahur$[email hidden]...
