CMR2 - Any sign or projected dates for a patch

Has anyone heard any whispers on the grapevine about the date for another CMR2 patch? DC

I got this reply recently from Codies..but I've heard that 90 to 100 staff are loosing their jobs.. So with this in mind it's got to be very tense work place.. You can't blame them for having their minds elsewhere on more important things. "Dear sir, Thank you for your email. A Patch will be released in February. We are aware of most of the problems with the game through customer comments, and we do look at the Highgear forums from time to time. We can put forward your suggestions however it is unlikely any of the suggestions would be implemented other than a clearer indication of what is happening in a Internet game. If you have any further enquiries then don't hesitate to ask. Regards, Paul Coles Customer Services Codemasters Ltd.

I haven't even been able to find the first one! But then, isn't the US version (which I have) already the same as the Euro version with the patch? If it's not, then I could sure use a patch for it! It's VERY jerky at any screen size/depth! :( I've turned off nearly everything that's available to turn off, and am running at 640x480x16, just to keep it tolerable, and that's just barely :( FWIW, I'm running the following.. Asus A7V, with 1007 bios revision Athlon 1000Mhz 256mb PC133 CAS2 Creative Annihalator Pro (GeForce DDR) with nVidia reference drivers, version 1080 SBLive! X-Gamer DirectX v8.0 Win98SE with all patches applied I've checked the thing out with 3DMark2000 and 2001 and tweaked the bios settings and changed video drivers for maximum score to no avail... :( On Mon, 12 Feb 2001 19:01 +0000 (GMT Standard Time), [email hidden] (David Christensen) wrote: >Has anyone heard any whispers on the grapevine about the date for another >CMR2 patch? > >DC -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =-----

I have a friend with a faster PC than mine: P3/800, WinMe, V5-5500, SBLive 5.1, DX8a, 128+? RAM, TM Pro wheel and he experiences jerkyness. On my P3/550, Win98 y2k patches, MSI Pro motherboard, SBLive with patches, DX8a, 192mb, V5-5500 tuned for visual quality, TM-FF I only get jerkyness when the "FF Texture setting" is not 0%. Due to all the bumps in the road, it's just too many FF computations I guess. My friend only gets the jerkyness with Insane and CMR2 -- both Codemasters releases -- and he's not using FF. Something's wierd. Jason. hobbit wrote:

Very weird... my CMR2.0 (US version) is super smooth at 1280X1024X32 with a medium-high amount of featues turned on. With the LWFF wheel active there is a slight drop in framerate - but not much. Details: - CMR 2.0 with clear windshield patch - PIII 933 - 384MB PC133 CAS3 - Intel D815EEA motherboard, 64MB AGP aperture, no tweaks - ATA/100 hard disk - Win2000 SP1 + DX8 - ATi Radeon 32MB DDR w/ ATi 3102 drivers, FSAA OFF, vert-sync ON, no tweaks - SB Live, LiveWare 3.0, Dell drivers - LWFF USB Dale.

Hmmm... if that's the case, it sounds like your Radeon is a better card than my GeForce.. I'm not a fan of ATI, but hey, if it works, run it! :) On Wed, 14 Mar 2001 16:59:06 -0800, "Sideshow Bob" <[email hidden]> wrote:

But who knows, CMR2 could favour the Radeon's strengths more than other games. F12K and GP3, for example, are nothing special on my system... I'd like to see them much smoother than they are. SB.
