F1 2012 Patch #3 for PC now available

[Travis]

Patch #3 might have been released as Steam downloaded 70.5MB for F1 2012.

After patch #2, a check of the game_version.txt (\Steam\steamapps\common\f1 2012\game_version.txt) file showed: const char * version = "Master Universal.815819 25/09/2012 19:41 "; unsigned int versionNumber = 815819;

The same file now reads: const char * version = "Master Universal.818459 28/09/2012 12:50 "; unsigned int versionNumber = 818459;

The f1_2012.exe file has changed to v.1.2.0.0 from f1_2012.exe v.1.1.0.0

Cheers.

Two files are updated in the singapore track and these appear to have improved the night lighting on the cars a little. I can see the colours now, as opposed to nearly black red bulls etc.

database.bin has been updated and reset to stock. RDE's post-patch 2 schemaF12012.2.xml does work to modify and save the .bin files.

Today sees patch #3 available on Steam for PC versions of F1 2012.

This update addresses a number of issues, including:

• Fixed an issue with frame rates that was introduced in patch #2
• Fixed an issue where using a flashback could result in an engine blowout effect. This would also result in the player doing an unnecessary pit stop if they were trying to serve a drive through penalty.
• Fixed the achievement “The Equipment May Be The Same” to unlock in Career as per the description
• Reduced the amount of starting fuel that the user is given for races Austin as it was previously too high
• Fixed some issues in Co-op Qualifying when only one user progresses to the next session
• Fixed a number of camera and graphical issues
• Fixed several issues which would display the incorrect number of players in a lobby or a race

Good patch , early tests look positive.

Singapore improved without doubt lighting wise and in general frames are back up again.

Good work.

Cheers.

Still the Engine Smoke Bug persists after using a Flash back in any mode
This Needs to be fixed

 

[Yawama]

I don't have the smoking engine issue anymore

 

[Michael Llewellyn]

I have used flashback a few times since patch 3 , no engine smoke as yet.

Cheers.
