ok ... i uninstall all mods (except all tracks and cars install them again and update to latest) but it still says no mod installed and doesnt want to start
I've only had that once during our testing... And I did a fresh install to get rid of it. Can you email me? I'll help. timw@imagespaceinc.com
Everything went fine here. I first updated the game. Then udated the FR, the Meganes, the GTWEC and finished with the install of the Formula masters new mod. I made a few laps with the Formula Masters and i liked it a lot. Played with the 370Z too. I'm pretty happy with the update for now and no problems so far. I'll give it some more tests later for sure.
All went well here. Pro's: - better performance - more high-res graphics on cars AND tracks - new physics - new fr3.5 outside sounds - reflections - small new textures everywhere (windshields, headlights, cockpits) - tweaked mirage effect - tweaked heat haze cons: - none for now. All works. Best Build/Build progress so far. (Edit: Shadows still disappear in a distant view (trackside) ... not as bad as before I think.) THANK YOU ISI!
Looking very nice, liked the updated sky too. Formula Masters felt really good too, nice ffb. Great job ISI!
Http will come soon, we re waiting for the first wave of downloaders which could be handled better by torrent. After that wave there will be several ways to grab the update.
yep, some http mirrors would be great! will go to sleep now, i hope i will find some http downloads tomorrow
HTTP will be here tomorrow. The auto updater is changed (as those who have updated can see), which is why we haven't stress tested it tonight by releasing there yet.
All installs went well for me, I much prefer the HDR now so using it one thing I have noticed not sure if bug or not but when driving on track I tried all views when using the TV cockpit view it now looks like there is a shield in front of you looking a bit hazy and every so often it disappears, overall Im happy and the new F1 masters I quite like well done ISI
ok, Tim no need help. i just uninstall rf2, download full game 85 and install it, its work (dont know why it doesnt want to work after update from 69 to 85)
well as I posted in other forum I did a clean install TWICE now... install isi mods, and update them.. screen is SLOOOW going 80 mph you are just creeping.... perspective appears off.. What silly thing have I not done... WAS a fan of this installation mod thing, but NOW i am on the dark side and even 2 installs no help..
The log says everything about this "patch". I'm disappointed to say the least from what I've just seen and tested. New Tracks??? i`m to old for this?? If i see more in a few hours if i`m rested??? I hope so...
If you did a clean install, did you remember to re-make any changes you made? Such as the skip updates 'hack' for older steering wheels, etc?
