    So you tried to update with that program running, then you installed the lite version on top, then you removed things manually? I'd reinstall and uninstall everything entirely. Back up your Packages folder, start from scratch because the more layers of things you add on top, the worse it will get.

    I updated mine from the Update tab. Ran flawlessly. I don't have early wip stuff installed, my base install was b240, and I keep everything nice and neat. I used to have a couple of vmods installed but they became irrelevant so I uninstalled and deleted them from rF2's Mod handler tab. Literally I've never had a single issue.

    Update through the automatic update window without any problem! It has been so long since the first build... and AC is about to start pre-ordering process... Come on ISI! I have great trust in you! :cool:
    Anyway thanks for this "great stable" build (counter trolling process)! ;)

    Havent been able to get it working yet so cant test myself. By the looks of your screens it seems there are no reflections on the car on B298. Is that the case or is it just settings are different on the 2 screens?

    Hm... I kind of wish HDR colors were not changed. Now from closed cockpits everything is really overbright and has cold colors.

    I already did a new and fresh installation and every thing went fine!
    Now, I have even gained more and more fps!
    With the Clio at Silverstone and with every setting on high, 5760*1080p, 16 AI, AA-4, HDR-ON....i HAVE ABOUT 58-76FPS
    With HDR OFF I have more fps....62-88fps!
    With Mirros Off I have even 10-13 extra fps!

    GT Club_wajdi - I take it you're not running with multiview enabled?

    I did a quick test last night at a couple of circuits and didn't notice any FPS improvements at all although I haven't deleated the cbash folder that I've seen a few others mention. The default Nvidia profile still doesn't work for me and I'm still getting micro stuttering with my modified one, despite FPS generally being above 60. So all in all no change from b240 for me at this stage. May take some time to do single card testing this weekend and try the latest beta drivers, still running 320.18whql.

    Update didnt work for me, the game wont start. Deleted everything and installed the lite with one mod and 4 tracks just to try out... it worked.

    about the fps... i gained ALOT more fps, even with most settings maxed out i always get more than 50 fps on croft and with hdr on. in the past with hdr was like playing a motion "stop game" ;P, and its more smoother.

    I installed via updater, then intalled SDK didn't remove any stuff beforehand, everything is working OK. I noticed around 10% fps gain, aswell as refelctions and lighting looks different, shows specular a bit better. Works faster, looks better. THANK YOU ISI

    Yep, I've had similar issues trying to run multiple instances using several internal builds leading up to this one.

    The guys are aware of the issue, currently I think you need a separate installation for each instance and use the +profile command line argument to hard-select a profile.

    Sorry I cannot be more specific, but it's something to do with the dedi server always selecting the last profile ports used or summin ;)

    well If I need to remove everything in every build... so much testing for nothing. I'll wait for proper fix.

    The update ran fine. I used auto update after uninstalling Searpoint and deleting it (if that's even an issue now)

    A quick test run didn't show any changes of note. Performance still good although CPU temps are a fraction higher. Strangely, PCARS runs Dx11 graphics cooler than rf2 Dx9.

    Thanks for the update ISI.

    Just a quick test. Autoupdate went off fine. Installed straight over a clean ISI based build without major changes or mods installed. The bad, no FPS gain with CF on triple. It's the opposite for me. I started the sim with the same settings and combo and the result is loosing ~10-15 FPS with lots of micro stutter on Mores.
