F1RS: V1.07

It is my imagination or does the new V1.07 3dfx patch seem slower? Since you can apparently go back & forth from version to version by re-installing the older patch, I tried both one after another. It kind of seems that V1.05 has a smoother framerate than V1.07. I did read that the D3D version had this problem which is why I think I may be imagining it :-) Anyone else? -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Yep, I got the same impression when I installed the patch yesterday! OTOH, I'll have to recheck if I have all the options set like in the V1.05 (I did a reinstall and didn't save my configuration file 8^( ). l8er ronny -- |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

The only improvement I might want from V1.07 is that the tire temps are supposed to track with camber now. My configs were unchanged. I did not have to go and reselect random weather or manual shifting. I think the patch simply replaces the F1VOO.EXE nothing more. -- Header intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Your not imagining it, I have the same problem too. Going back to 1.05 for now and calling UbiSoft tomorrow.

Er, "me too". Seems a fair bit slower, especially in a race. If I alt-tab to the Windows desktop it looks like there is now very little CPU left for any other processes. James >Your not imagining it, I have the same problem too. Going back to 1.05 for
