N2 Patch Update (MUST READ!)

According to SIERRA, the patch IS to blame for the problems that people are having with cars lurching to the right. I spoke with a Sierra tech support representative today. Apparently, Sierra attempted to solve problems that people were having with their ThrustMasters and the old version of N2. This was one of the changes incorporated in the patch. Those problems were solved with the patch, but now other people are experiencing a new problem in the sudden lurch. A NEW PATCH IS IN THE WORKS NOW. Testing of the new patch may begin soon, but it may be TWO WEEKS OR MORE until an updated patch is available on the Sierra web site. So, if you doubted the FACT that many people with varying systems are experiencing the SAME problem, the proof has been offered by Sierra itself. It is a problem with the PATCH and NOT people's machines. Kirn Cromur

No one is doubting what you and others have obviously been experienceing: 1. Your controls work fine with the original version 2. You install the patch 3. Your controls don't work properly anymore There are machines (such as mine) where this problem is not occuring, so the patch in and of itself is not at fault. Instead, it would seem to be the interaction of the patch with something secondary (whatever that may be) that's causing the probelms. Maybe it's just semantics and I'm being too picky. --

No you are dead right. I think if more people were civil instead of demanding this and that and this is shit etc we would be much better off. There is know need for it. How would one like to be spoken to in that manner. I would not for a start and do my damn best to do the opposite so its not just you that thinks along that line I do as well..

I stand corrected in my previous statements. Thank you Papy for giving everyone some light on the lurching subject. I admit to being incorrect in my assumptions. The whiners still should learn not to whine and to be civil. I still say noone like to read pissing commentary continuously... but thats just me. TrenT -- CatchMeIfU.........................Can

I too am having the lurching problem after the patch. I think I have tried all the suggestions posted on this newsgroup. Please don't take this as whining. I still race with the patch and the lurching does seem to happen at the worst times. So, I try to save the game as often as I can. I know that is not very realistic racing, but it works for me. I love the game and the patch. I think Papyrus has don't an outstanding job. I would just like to fix this lurching. If there is anymore suggestions, I'll give them a try. Thanks.
