F1C - Any Official Patches?

I just got around to re-loading F1C after my last system rebuild. Are there any official patches? I looked on the EA-Sports site, but that place is a lost cause. Worst site design I've ever seen. -Larry

No the only patches per se...are the mods and utilities available. dh

I don't think EA has _ever_ released a patch, have they? -Larry "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Their main concern is that their developers are working on FIFA 2005 or NASCAR Thunder 2006 etc i.e. the next cash cow...

Weird, Madden 2004 and MVP 2004 have had multiple patches to fix bugs and improve gameplay. I thought they typically patched their sports games multiple times, at least. Jason

the fact that they need to is a bad thing. pez "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Tue, 1 Jun 2004 17:24:18 +1000, "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >Well, there was an unofficial patch released for F1 2001 which added FF.EA > >generally aren't interested in supporting their games though.

I think it was all the way back at NFS2, they essentially promised that a Direct3D patch would be coming. Then they promised it again. And again. Then, all quiet, and it never came out. Then, a couple more games came out soon after that had all sorts of bugs and no patches ever came out for them either. Every time I get an EA game, I always feel like EA was more than willing to take my money, but not provide any useful support once they've done so. So, I stopped giving them money, except when I broke my own principles and got those F1 games. Guess personal boycotts don't work when you break down just because you really want one of their games...

Just doing a quick check of things I can remember they published (I realize there are more, but I don't really buy NFS type games) these games all had patches: Andretti Racing F1 2000 F1 2001 NASCAR 2000 NASCAR Revolution SE NASCAR Thunder 2003 Need for Speed II SE Need for Speed III Need for Speed IV Need for Speed V Need for Speed Hot Pursuit II Need for Speed Underground
