N2 Patch Useless; Re-Installing Old Version

Well, I've given the patch problem plenty of time and experimentation. However, my car still lurches to the right for no apparent reason. This happens periodically during every practice and race at superspeedways. I believe it even happens at short tracks, but the car seems to remain more stable in those cases. So, it's into the trash bin with the patch and into the hard drive with the old version of N2. This is rediculous. We waited months for a patch, and it would be great if it weren't for this nonsense. Does Papyrus even test these patches before releasing them? At least on VARIOUS machines? Problems with a patch make no sense. They defeat the entire purpose. Anyway, if someone finds a solution, I'd love to hear it. Until then, the patch is useless. Kirn Cromur
Did you re-calibrate your steering. Bear in mind some changes were made to the steering code I believe. Do you own a T2 by chance as it seems a large majority of folks with that wheel are having the lurching problem. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand

I certainly would not classify it as "unusable" by any means. I've run on 8 tracks....super-speedways down to the half-milers and also Sears Point and the Glen........the "lurch" has been experienced on all....the effect less extreme on the shorter, slower tracks. However, I've quickly become used to the fact of where it's going to happen...that is, at what point on the track....and just change my line to compensate. I've also become used to approximately when it's going to happen! To me, this "bug" in no way makes the patch useless: the mere fact that the save facility is included outweighs the "lurch". No doubt Papy will sort out the glitch; until then.... a BIG "THANK YOU, PAPYRUS"!! -- BruceK "...and you can see the gap in the distance!" (Murray Walker, 27th.
