F1RS out in U.S.!

Picked up a copy of F1RS at EB today. It was 44.99. It runs almost perfectly on my 200MMX and a 3Dfx card. Question though.....the readme file says that it is version 1.06. Is this the latest version or do I need to download a patch to upgrade it? It has 3Dfx capability built-in if that helps any. Thanks ScottG

1.06 is definitely the newest. the latest patch available only brings it up to 1.05. -- Rob

Where the *** is E.B?

No self respecting gamer would need to ask that question. But, for the neophytes amongst us, E.B. = Electronics Boutique. -- Nos [link lost in import: /~nosfer/index.html]

Has anyone else been able to pick up F1RS at EB here in the U.S. ? I just called my local EB here in Seattle and they say they don't have it yet, and won't until March 1st. Oh well, hope the wait is worth it. Cheers. --John -- *kludger AT zipcon DOT com* | ICQ #7522564 contact me at: Seattle, Washington USA. | http://wwp.mirabilis.com/7522564

Nope, not here at the C***te, NC EB either - and they say March 1st too. Would order it from Ubisoft, but I've heard a few bad tales of order problems from them (None here, but I think from some others ordering Subculture? or something) - just be that much easier with a bad CD, etc., to be able to run down to the mall and return it. I know the DAY they'll get it in....the day they finally release the N2 3dfx patch :-) Volksy

I talked to Ubisoft early this week and the US release was still slated for March 16, 1998, after a few fixes to D3D have been implemented. Something doesn't jive here, IMO. How can one guy have bought it when the company hasn't released it yet, hmmm. Either way, I love my UK version. Best F1 sim to date, period. -- Rhawn Black Virtual Velocity Racing "Race for the Sake of the Race" >>Picked up a copy of F1RS at EB today. It was 44.99.

I went to my local store in Glendale,CA, they said they had one copy and it sold last night, although I don't think he knew what he was talking about...I called all the other EB stores in the LA area, they all said "early March". Oh well, only a couple more weeks... don

EB here in Vancouver said they sold out, but I can reserve a copy. The guy was full of shit because if it was just released in the U.S. yesterday there is no way in hell they have had it in up here and sold out already. -- Nos http://www.cris.com/~nosfer/index.html

Hi Rhawn - Have you still got your Compuserve account? If so you may be interested to know that we're planning on getting a F1RS offline league going this season. The NCAR season is about to start as well, so until TEN's stability improves, why not make Olddoc happy and run some offline N2 races? <g> Cheers, Richard
