Anyone have a flickering dash when you got to the***pit view now with the new patch? If you reload it goes away most of the time.

Yes, I have the same problem. I uninstalled/reinstalled and applied the patch again with no other patches present. It had the same problems, the flashing dash and the useless "Brad's track". And yes, I did put the files in the proper folders, something the sloppy patch did not do! If this is an official patch why could I not find it at ISI(not updated since February) or EA sites? I'll have to live without this patch until the flashing dash and bogus track issues are addressed, unless someone can tell me which parts of this patch can be ignored to eliminate these problems. Waiting for the patch of the patch: Lightning Leroy

For me, after that patch the mirror now gives me a massive hit to the framerate! As an example, at the Desert track, when I go into the infield, it is almost near 10fps! What seems to be the culprit is the SCENE.MAS file (20 MEGS - geez, and how the heck did they manage to squash that into a 3 MEG zip file and it not get corrupt????) that comes with the new patch. If I use the old one, it is not as bad. And I too did everything - uninstalled SCGT in case the unofficial patch screwed with it, reinstalled it fresh, then applied the patch. I even OC'd the CPU, under c'd it, tweaked the TNT video card, everything - but it just slows way down. :(

Ditto; I hadn't tried nuking the mirror, but I did notice a big framerate hit after installing the patch. Downright st..st..stuttery! This on a 450Celery/V3 running in D3D that previously ran everything maxed out at 10X7 with no trouble at all(excepting full field night races in the rain, and those weren't bad). I went back to the pre-patch setup and all's well again. No patch for me just yet, thanks. Cheers, Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email

Me too, using Big Ben's great "Porsche_revised"-dash and your great sounds, but this occurred only after I reapplied the Advanced Options patch, 'cause I was not sure, if the true simulation mode was affected by the 1551 patch. Maybe SCGT just doesn't like so much cheatin'... :-) Zolli, who thought, he now would not need to hit F4 twice anymore... Gentlemen! ;-] Start your engines!

Yes! Me too. I didn't realize it was the mirror, so I'll try turning it off, but the fps in the desert at night went WAY down. What is the game save file? Can I reinstall without losing my progress?
