    Sry, thought was all Maxed but I did not use env reflections, still being a great performance (with higher AA values or env reflections "low" I still being all time with more than 30 fps with no cars in track). I do not get this in any competitor sim... If I try to max other new gen sims my PC explodes, and If If at least I try to match visuals, I get better fps numbers in rF2 (comparing empty tracks, because with AI other sims are even worse...).

    I tried to join the ISI official server with silverstone and GT and got a CTD when loading the circuit. Now it always crash just before matchmaker show the server list.

    Admittedly ISI really don't seem to help themselves over issues like this.

    FWIW the launcher version in B382 depended on whether you updated the game through the updater which gave you v1.102, or used the Lite build which gave you v1.100. (I haven't tried the Demo or Content builds, suspect they'd be v1.100 too but you never know with ISI).

    The launcher for B494 is v1.102 whether using the updater or Lite build, however it's not quite the same as the v1.102 launcher that was got through the updater in B382 (fails verification check, different CRC lol).

    Can`t believe that - it was the best part for me as a casual driver and allmy friends liked most about RF2 besides the feel.... sad

    From Devs: "There was some held code that couldn't come in until this code went out, I think the 3D user issue was deemed as being OK to leave as-is until the next update (whether you or I agree, is another matter, just letting you know), which would be a relatively short term release for the held code. Devs didn't want too much of a code change in a specific area. "

    Two major problems with that:
    1) you're on your own
    2) no mirrors

    If people want to HotLap on their own then yes they'd be able to max out most/all settings (I can), but as a Racing Sim against other opponents then you wont be getting very good performance at all...which is what the complainers are complaining about! (I'm not BTW!)

    Hat's off for the new automation HDR, finally the shades are off and the ambient lighting looks like it should in respect to time of day! Also, the FPS is the best I have seen so far with any of the beta and post-beta builds. Another observation is that almost all of the Z-fighting issues in earlier builds (flickering textures) are gone. Amazing, really well done guys!

    382 Demo functionality needed a new launcher, so got one. It had a different date on the downloads page for that reason since the last update. I figure that is better than not having a demo since the last update.

    I did some performance tests with build 382 vs 494. The FPS drop in T-cam is 100% related to the improved shadow distance, at least for me. So basically you trade apples for oranges. People wanted undercar shadows to be visible for longer and unfortunately it costs FPS.

    As can be seen from screenshots below, the shadows off performance is identical between both builds. With medium shadows FPS drops by 20-25%, as the undercar shadows can be seen to a longer distance.

    Build382_noshadows, Build382_mediumshadows, Build494_noshadows, Build494_mediumshadows

    I hope thers no offical ISI response because ther lookin for the coulpret! What's weird is that it seemed to work fine early on and then went to hell! Lol I was hosting the FKR server and all was good , we did a league Clio race followed by me changing the server over to the GT's players came and went , swapping cars worked , it was awesome ! Then after a short break for some BF4 action i came back to constant CTD's and haven't been able to launch MP At all?? Maybe is a hack job assualt on MM?? <jk > lol but seriously this is reely strange ... :-/

    Which confirms 494 is, as they are only different in number.

    I was just going to say that this build was great...but now I get CTD's all the time when in server lobby :(:(

    The minimum ffb torque is great, and the automatic HDR profile works good (although I prefer my old HDR profile for a few tracks), and the fps was good. But that doesn't matter if I can't play online! I can see that I'm not the only one... :(

    ok, then I need to improve, under previous conditions this build was stable, but under actual conditions this build do not work

    this could mean, ISI has to proof their test conditions

    Tried to enter "United Sim Racers" server, and when mod was downloaded and I was going to choose car, the game crashed, and now it crashes everytime I'm in the server lobby :(
