Urgent testing of release candidate Build 772

PlickBadger said:
I believe I found the issue with my Miata Mods. The following instance name in the .gen file creates the bug

Instance=SUSPENSION

If I change this instance name to something else, everything works perfectly.

I hope this helps in some way. I'll be releasing version 1.2 of all 3 mods soon

Confirmed V1.2 of all 3 Spec Miata now are fine without any graphical problem with all build 770 & 772 and 32 and 64 bit,

Great PlickBadger, you did it! :)
 
Apart from the directory changes already announced by jeremy which solves the needing to rename issue ehat should our expectations be?

It looks like b770 and higher are less tolerant with several format related issues as nords and miata problems suggest.

Is this issue, if real, going to be addressed?

Which are the detected bugs that are being assessed before the next build is released? It would be very nice to have one to check and report for correction.
 
So.....you're looking for problems in advance?

If I recall; YOU were very much around when the forum got suspended earlier.......not to say, the reason.......
Now you go and whine about problems you have no clue of?

Maybe I misunderstand you, but these bugs/corrections to test are listed in the 1st post in this thread:

Both our internal guys and you are testing this at the moment.

Changes from 770:
Fixed a typo where the Real Road Time Scale setting for qualifying was used for race and vice versa.
Added exception handling for failed json config reads
Fixed issue with crash on exit.
Fixed MP Lobby not scrolling correctly after item was selected.
Fixed launcher startup crash

Please don't share yet, obviously, as if things aren't fixed or anything new was introduced, this won't be released. Treat as an unstable, but perhaps even more secretive!

If you can, confirm the changes listed work, and that there's no new issues that weren't in 770, that's all we're asking. Thanks!

I mean the issues that are still not corrected in B772. We dont know if we should keep reporting things and if the ones reported are being addressed.

So before saying that I am whining, some person should read my posts in the different bug report threads instead of accusing me for being responsible of anything. I can remember the thread that you referred to in your post. There Ì said that unstable testing would be a failure as it has been once again. I expected a build with new bugs and without previous ones fully assesed. I expected a bug where new things would be implemented causing problems. I dont think I missed that much in my predictions.

We are now once again in a chaos knowing only from a post from jeremy that new build will avoid having to rename the 64 bit exe. Not a single word on bug fixes.

Chaos? By a bug not yet being fixed and ISI first making the 64 bit easier to handle?
See the fat words; enough said.

Thanks in advance if the forum gets locked again because you have to jump to conclusions and keep on going "predicting" issues.

NO by the lack of information back.
 
You can read everywhere that progress is made and bug fixing is best done in the "new setting". You don't change the oil in your car and then put in a new engine.
Also; you can read everywhere that bugs are noticed but can't all be fixed right away and can't all be discussed; they just take notice and stack it up the pile.

In every topic you start screaming that YOUR bugs are not fixed, but the truth is; bugs ARE fixed (just not all yet and sadly including yours) and bugs ARE noticed.
Keep the forum open I would say ;)
 
Some of you guys have no mercy. I won't mention any names lolol.

I want RF2 to be perfect too, but we can't always get what we want. It will get there though.
 
Nurburgring is one of the latest releases. It is difficult for me to understand how could it have an old gmt format and what exactly means and old gmt format as it is stated in the release notes. I only know two ways to generate rf2 gmts. 3dsmax and 3dsimed. The first one uses ISIs plugin so it should save in normal format? Or are these plugins being updated frquently on the different devmode builds? If so I would need to update mine for sure... I didn't see a note about new plugins for 3dsmax as information for modders when a build is released. I remember when realroad shader appeared but never again...

For 3dsimed it could happen if using first or buggy versions since it is an external tool and dave could have been updating the program to correct issues. But I dont think mianiak uses 3dsimed.

There are more than 2 ways to generate GMTs, and it seems to me you don't know which mianiak might have used. Maybe work that out before suggesting it's ISI's fault.

Since you seem to know better than me you might what to answer to my question. Which are the old gmt files ISI refers in the release notes so that we can know what to be looking for?

We might speculate less if we had some more info. First Nords, later the Miata and now Nurburgring. Three components that worked before that have problems now. I am not suggesting anything. I just would like to know what to be looking for when I build my tracks.

So please do not tell me again what I should do. Your suggestion about informing about which tool is mianiak using is quite useless. I NEED TO KNOW WHICH ARE THE PROBLEMATIC GMTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...

What can I say.

Still getting CTD when renaming the exe`s and trying 64bit. 32bit seems to work ok.

Hi tjc....
Did you ever get 64bit working with Win8.1?
I seem to be having one heck of a time this bout.
I created a new folder and renamed it 'HOLD' inside my RF2 core folder.
I moved both 32 bit versions there and renamed the 64bit versions the exact name of the ones moved into the 'HOLD' folder and still the T/M says 32bit on starting RF2.

edit: damn it every time I try to upload an image recently, it comes out thumbnail size.

if exported in 3dsmax never get THE PROBLEMATIC GMTS..
 
Just a suggestion for the next unstable build test.

If ISI would setup a basic server with the Skippy or any simple car on any ISI track, I think we could sort out problems, if any are there, with upcomming builds.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Saabjock...

No I still can`t get 64bit to work for me, it just crashes every time I try it.

I wasn`t trying it with W8 though, I don`t have W8... I`m still on W7 (SP1)

It`s a bit strange, it works fine for most people I think...

tjc, do you run any other 64 bit programs?

Just wondering. I think every sim I install puts in some version of Microsoft Visual C++ , and they all rely on a different version.
thought maybe that might be your problem.
One of my other sims I DCS World. It comes in 64bit and it is free. (Probably a 4 or 5 Gig download - probably best with torrent)
 
Hi Jim,

Yeh I do run a couple of small 64bit programs. I actually thought the same as you so did a completely fresh W7 and installed only what`s needed to run rf2 and...

Still crashed on me. :(

The first build I tried with 64bit worked fine for me, I was quite chuffed then bang... no more 64bit for me.

I know nothing of this DCS you mention, I`ll google. :)
