F1 2012 The Game: Patch #9
After almost a full week without releasing a patch CodeMasters is back in the patching business and released the ninth patch for F1 2012 The Game on Steam today.
This update addresses the following issues:
- Made some improvements to the online game so car positions should be more accurate and less twitchy at high speeds.
- Made some PC Framerate improvements for those people who had an FPS drop after patches.
- Fixed the wheel weight property so that it will now work correctly
- Fixed the final results screen for the client in a Co-op session so they see their stats not the hosts.
- Fixed two infrequent crashes.
Codemasters also confirmed that console patches have been submitted to both Sony & Microsoft and are now subject to approval.
The patches for PS3 and Xbox 360 have now been sent for submission with the relevant first parties. We anticipate that the PS3 patch for Europe – English / French / German / Italian / Spanish and Japan will be released at the end of this week. The Xbox 360 patch should be released early next week. Finally the PS3 patch for European Polish / Russian and American versions will follow in another week or two.

Waw whole week without patches
It’s nice that they are working cause for the last two years we had only 4 patches and now for just a month there were 8 and 9th on it’s way. That’s the difference between Steam and GFWL 
Still haven’t fixed corrupted sync…. 3 times its happened to me now.
Just Disable Steam Cloud Sync and you are done,There is no more corruption
Still bad physics and no real F1-TV-Huds. Sounds are boring and not like a real F1-car.
Bad velocity-feeling, moving T-Cam and so on…
i stay at rFactor with F1RS2011. Best F1 experience you can have.
lol Rotax, have you actually heard a real 2012 F1 car? They sound exactly like in the game. So please, stop trolling if you have nothing smart to say.
Look man, I don’t like some games but you haven’t seen me cursing them in their forums, right? Stop trolling cause it’s not funny anymore. Go play your game and love it, don’t hate ours. Thank you!
I agree. CM have made a good F1 game this time. They are still coming out with new patches. Its been almost a month since the release and we have got 9 patches so far. They are doing a good job. Remember how we moaned for patches for F1 2010 and 2011. If somebody doesn’t like the game, don’t buy it and don’t hate it. Simple.
Where do I get these patches from, I’m on PSN by the way and need to know where to collect these patches cos I’ve got none of them yet
Can I ask where you got that profile picture of Senna’s McLaren if you took it because I think I know where that is
Google
link :’(
You don’t need a link. Fire up Steam and it’ll automatically install the patch.
Very good news for XBL users (and for all for sure)
nine paths!!! good job Stephen Hood :devilish:
What is wrong with patching? Last year and the year before people were complaining that the game was unsupported.
For this year Codemasters switched to Steam and they can easily patch the PC version of F1 2012 and the same people are nagging that there are too many patches. Unbelievable.
There is enough you can complain about with Codemasters but trying to support a game is not one of them.
I was at Hockenheimring this year.
In the game it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
Of course, for people who have only a ps3 or xbox maybe it appears to be a good game, but if you played rFactor with (in my case) F1RS-Mod, ENB-settings, spotter-plugin, RealFeel, tv style and RFT-Trackpack you NEVER will go back to such a arcade game.
We know by now and that comment is getting old as you make it on every F1 game article since 2010. Just enjoy your mod and let others enjoy their favorite game.
Oh, I thought it was at Brooklands museum
stay in F1RS2011….we are arcade players and we like F1 2012 THE GAME…..
I bet most of the people complaining about me never tried rFactor with the mods i posted, so they don’t have a comparison.
I tested f1 2012, so i can compare, you not.
THANKS CODEMASTERS ..THAT SHOW ME THAT YOU RESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS….
I hadn’t played F1 for about a week and since friday I’m just truckin’ in ETS 2. Getting bored from driving at 90km/h I jumped back in the +300km/h F1 car and tried the Racenet event. I don’t know what happened but now I’m doing better than ever
You can compare and we don’t care about your comparison. Fair enough.
Everyone is entitled to play what he / she wants to. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean nobody else is allowed to have a different opinion.
Keep trolling and a timeout is just around the corner.
Ah and why? Just because i have a different opinion?
You should be banned for nerving people who are experienced in PC-racing and have a objective meaning about f1 2012.
It’s called opinion, an opinion. The people in here don’t come into rFactor threads and tell you that your sim sucks, which could very well be their opinion.
We want RD to be a peaceful environment. I’ll give you the chance to leave everyone in here alone and stop arguing. Your last chance.
@ Rotax: Let’s not forget rFactor is a (full) simulation game whereas F1 is something between sim and arcade. I’m sorry, but the games are not in the same category therefore you can’t compare them. Personally I prefer the less realistic game from CM rather than rFactor.
boys will always stay boys! By the way, I was an rFactor F1 mod addict 2 years ago until I tried F1 2011. There are a lot of elements that make a good racing simulator game. Physics is just one of them. rFactor mods may sometimes have best physics than F1 CM series but they’re falling short in all other elements. Fair words. Rotax has the right to express his opinion in a democratic environment like this but I’m afraid he’s doing it on the wrong thread. Peace.

Thank god they fixed the wheel weight
um wierd i just looked at my steam patch history and i only have patch 7. Re loaded steam twice and still no patch can any one tell me how i get this latest patch really need it for frame rate issues. cheers
I play on consoles to stay away from people like you
Bloody PC elitists. They’re all ”Ooooh, look at my fancy computer with my top end graphics card and my better processing power. Oh, I’m so much better ‘cos I have a PC”
You obviously like to think yourself better because you’ve played a game on the PC.
Sad
Oh no, don’t start another dispute here. We don’t really need another old boring confrontation. Both platforms have advantages & disadvantages. I don’t think Rotax was against consoles. Let’s be realistic.
