    Lol....no.

    Well, now modders have got some work, too. Looks like all non-ISI tracks got transparent trees. Some worse than others :p

    But otherwise I really like the new build, so far. But I have to do some more testing tomorrow!

    Not a problem for me. Have done it handful of times already. Seems stable. :)

    There is sth that I just don't understand. Before build 218 I ran without HDR and many things set to medium to get fps level at 70-90 (sometimes 100) but still it didn't feel smooth. Like I was missing a frame from time to time.

    After installing build 218 I can run with HDR and many graphics options set to high instead of medium. Now I get 50-60 fps (goes down to 40 sometimes) but the picture seems silky smooth. I just can't stop smiling.

    I mean, what da... :D

    Me too, currently running a 100% failure rate fullscreen online. Fullscreen offline and windowed mode seem ok so far.

    I saw this was mentioned as potentially issue in the release notes... I'm glad I escaped that...

    OK, so I deleted everything except what was in Packages and downloaded the Lite installer. Installed the new build, fired up the game, set prefs and all that. Then I exited, went to my newly created .PLR and edited that and enabled auto installing of mods.

    It all worked perfectly :cool: But just be prepared because when I launched rF2 the first time it seemed to freeze because there's no confirmation of what it is doing, but it IS installing the content. Wait for it, leave it alone, go grab a smoke (or two) or go grab a snack. It took about 15 minutes for me.

    Running perfect for me - much smoother game entries/exits and consistent HDR appearance/shaders. Very happy!

    10 minutes ago it was fine. Now it seems sth went wrong. Can't join any server and it keeps crushing the game everytime I try.

    EDIT: Now it works. Strange.

    Zonder must have been the straw that broke the ISI server's back!

    I had a similar issue with last build and it ended up being my fire wall settings...
    While I hadn’t change anything on the firewall rFactor2 was being blocked after the new install.

    I would give your firewall settings a check.

    same here, did a complete fresh re-install using the torrent file, did not install any non-official content yet (so i won't run into performance trouble caused by some old/bogus content), i also noticed major overall framerate improvements (ATI user), no framerate drop anymore, Very happy too!

    There are still a few glowing pedestrians and no Reverse indicator on the new hud, but beside that, i can now fully enjoy the sim!

    I did update my previous post but it's back a page now, it seems B218 SDK has same problem as B198 SDK.

    Someone raised this before and you can find a couple of workarounds in this thread.

    Did anybody notice the new PLR option that allows you to have the car not automatically start? People have been waiting for this for ages, hopefully it'll be an in game option at some point
