    rF2 on sale, ac and others on sale, Steam's crashed. Never a proponent of going to Steam, and this doesn't bode well.

    One more link in the chain to break.

    Steam is very rarely down, I use it every day and I can't remember last time it happened. It'll be up and running in no time I'm sure.

    rF2 works offline, the launcher may take a little to open, patience!

    Steam is down for maintenance, it hasn't crashed.

    edit: that's what I saw come up in my friends list

    Oh Dear, I purchased the RF2 on Steam under the current sale. Rather than transfer my non-steam account to Steam, I now have both. Glad I did, as running a quick offline test has highlighted some concerns.

    Firstly, this update was supposed to have fixed the AI issues with qualifying - details form change log:
    Fixed AI behaviour to prevent them from taking off immediately after what should be their pit stop following their final qualifying lap, which would get them disqualified.
    Fixed AI behaviour to prevent AI from getting disqualified during qualifying on certain tracks where it is difficult to pit immediately after completing n-1 laps.

    First race and 3 AI run 13 laps instead of 12 - hmmmm.

    More worryingly, I noticed strange behaviour when AI are on an in lap. They seem to come off the main path and follow the left/right paths somewhat erratically until they can peel off into the pits. This was a major issue for me in rF1, which hasn't shown up in the non-Steam version, but seems to be present in the Steam version.

    Anyone else experience either of these issues?

    AI taking another (weird) path at inlap is familiar to me, but as far as I remember didn´t occured anymore since x builds.
    Did you carried over your old Player.JSON?

    A fresh player JSON is usually a good cure for odd AI behavior.

    I'm using a fresh Player.JSON as I've only newly installed the Steam version. I didn't carry over the non-Steam Player.JSON.

    Mhhh,Im not at home at the moment, so can anybody else confirm the problems that you suffer from?
    I highly doub that this behaviour (what appeared in early builds) have reappered in new build.

    Considering that it's basically ISI stuff, not really. And honestly, they need way more than this.

    The current official and unofficial content isn't enough for you? I have a track database of over 300 tracks.

    For me the official content is decent, but that is not the question, the question is if it's enough for other simracers. There are loads of comments everywhere saying that rF2 content is not enough.

    Also, content must be good. How many of those 300 tracks have the quality of the very best ISI tracks (such as Mores) or other sims like AC/Raceroom/iRacing etc?

    Today I did public racing (yay! finally!) and it was the best there can be. rf2 players are so cool. One can see that there is a lot of expirience. Did finish 3rd in a 60min race and stopped another 60min race after 1/3 in 1st position. I had a lot of fun tonight. Servers were "full". Around 20 guys each. A good day after steam let anybody down.

    The GT500 is interesting but fun.
