F1RS Patch a Joke!

The patch is a joke! Out of all the list of problems that I have been communicating with Ubi about, it only fixes 2! They are that the CH pedals now work, and the tyre compound is saved with a carsetup correctly! The program still crashes regularly. (Easily replicated in my case by doing a few ghost laps at Nurburgring then loading a save game from a race at another track.) Still has the unbelievably annoying problem of going through every lap after selecting 'abandon race'. When in a full race, this is unbearable. Many other known problems that they have not fixed. One of the most annoying aspects is that the patch process doesn't work. When the 'voopatch' is executed from the F1rs folder, it copied the new dlls to the right place, but then corrupts the 'f1voo' exe! It has to be copied manually from the patch files! Very frustrating.

Seems that Papyrus isn't the only one making mistakes in this department. ;) Cheers! Marc

>Worked fine for me, no probs at all with the patch. Same here. No problems before the patch, no problems after the patch. Funny huh? Some people have problems, some don't. And those who do have problems blame F1-RS for the problems. Makes one wonder.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flush The Seatbelt!

I'm not sure what you mean here. Ubisoft are well aware of the problems of which there are many. If you don't have any, then that's great, but the game has problems for a lot of people and they (Ubi) are continuing to work on them. I could list them if you would like.

Iain Mackenzie heeft geschreven in bericht When I read someone whining F1-RS doesn't run well on his P-II 266 Mhz with 64 Mb and a Monster 3D, I get suspicious. I've got a P-166, with 32 Mb and a Monster 3D and it runs fine. No lockups, never have had ANY problems with ANY DirectX versions and games that use 'em. People start bashing Win95 for all of their problems. IF they don't have certified drivers, it's not their fault, it's the programmers/Microsoft/Bill Gates fault. That it only means their drivers our outdated they don't want to see. I had problems with DX-5 and Jedi Knight, and I contacted Lucasarts then. They said I should get the latest drivers. Thought I had, but there were newer ones for my SB-16, which solved it. People take it out on games and Microsoft WAY too easily when all they need to do is check their drivers for newer versions or check if their system is configured well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flush The Seatbelt!

Yeah, it's probably Bill (Gates) under another of his many aliases :)
