I get the feeling the screen blacking out while going back to the garage allows cars to load faster... maybe :speculation:

Shame the positions below number 8 on the event results are still kaput, but no biggy

I'm also speculating as to whether the log output for qualifying results has been fixed... look reasonable from last night in autosim analyzer but not sure as there were so many...

why do an update on the weekend!!! why not on a monday!

 

[James Yates]

why do an update on the weekend!!! why not on a monday!

Maybe because that's when everyone has the time to play Evo?

I don't see what's the problem with that.

Also, Steam/Valve is located in the USA, when the update went live it was friday morning/afternoon :wink2:

 

[Mtommi Tam]

My game always freeze
This update not fix this questions,
Freeze ON

 

[Steven Palmer]

Haven't noticed much TBH, although looking through the Leaderboards I noticed some of the tracks we run last night have faster times from previous events than the ones logged from last night mini events, mostly with the same participants. Perhaps they've reduced the grip on the mini's ?

 

[Simon Trendell]

I don't see what's the problem with that.

I'm also guessing when the patch is released is in the hands of Valve rather than SimBin.

Custom championships with custom skins is still broken.

My god, that should have been one of the first items on the list to fix :struggle:

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Isn't the screenshot button F12? Or have I had a memory loss... Anyways, I can not get an ingame screenie with F12. (Ignore me if it isn't F12 ).

 

[Andrew Evans]

it didn't used to show the time left during practice, did it?

(it does now)

 

[John Sydenstricker]

I've never had any technical problems with this game till after this latest update. Now during online and offline races I have numerous momentary stutters that affect my screen and my FFB. Last nite I had my first PC lockups during an event. Once during practice and again at the end of the second race.
I'm running two ATI 4890 1GB OC boards in Crossfire, a quad core 3Ghz processor and I have 8Gigs of DDR2 ram, so I'm not understanding why my computer cant keep up with the game now

Is that with an old or new championship?

Nope

 

[Ross McGregor]

Is that with an old or new championship?

New, i've just tried it! It's most disappointing that that hasn't been fixed. It seems that the statistics/lap records are now being logged again though. That's good!

I can't get it to work either. It works in car and with menus but no longer in free cam mode. Great work Simbin :curse: Maybe we'll get that function back in your next update in about a years time. Unbelievable.

 

[Steve Emmons]

I'm seeing mini-freezes or stutters, but not the full-on freeze-up yet. I suspect that there will be more to follow. Sigh...

Puh! Then I have my memory intact but yes, very, very irretating... So, how to get cool shots now???

Don't quite know how you have that problem, I've just tried it myself and it works fine on freecam.

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Are you sure you are not talking about the swingman view, James? 'Cause I can't get it to work with freecam either.

 

[James Yates]

No, works fine in freecam and all the others.

Only place it didn't work fine was in an instant replay in a race - if you save the replay and watch it back later it works fine. Also works fine in race monitor.

Strange, I'll investigate some more Sunday. Thanks James
