Only ADAC has updated physics/handling or do all the cars have it ?

 

[Peter]

Only ADAC for now, the rest will soon follow

 

[JayS]

Will the game in the future be better optimized for AMD CPUs?
Because with a full grid of 20+ cars, you've got a really poor framerate.
With the Intel i5 and i7-series you'll never had these kind of problems.

Would be nice.

 

[Akis]

I want to say that the ADAC pack is great. I didn't like the R3E ffb at all before the update, but now it is in another league. Top notch! Well done Sector3!

 

[Msportdan]

im just playing the free cars ..

im not experiencing the new physics or ffb no?

FFB yes, physics soon

 

[jimortality]

I only get ffb in a straight line, when I turn my wheel left or right, it's virtually non existent. I'm trying to like this game but .................,.

· Changed car reflection option to have Low and High settings.

Hi all,
I can't set this option on "low" in the game.I click "apply" but when I go back to the graphics options,car reflection is still on "high".

 

[Majuh]

Hi all,
I can't set this option on "low" in the game.I click "apply" but when I go back to the graphics options,car reflection is still on "high".

I also have this problem. The setting does change correctly as can be seen ingame, but when you enter the settings menu, it always shows "High" even if it has been set to "Low" before.

ehm , ehm... server down ??

error 2211

R3E is updated, that's an understatement. R3E has been re-invented. This is not the same sim as before.Virtually every complaint has been resolved. Multi player, FFB, which is the best I have felt, the most beautiful tracks in any sim on the market or in development i'm sure, single player race, hence the name Race room, not room experience and just the feel of the car thru the wheel at all times, and that's all cars too, makes this more than a game. I thank you guys for living up to a promise you made, a seemingly long time ago, it makes my leap of faith seem like a wise decision today and way more that just a purchase, more like an investment now. Oh, one more thing, Bye Bye rF2.

You know, that there is still rF1 inside of RRE?

 

[vee10]

Typical first time in months I fire this up with ADAC purchased, servers are down.

 

[Serj]

server brought down for maintenance, for now.

 

[Sébastien Degraeve]

I also have this problem. The setting does change correctly as can be seen ingame, but when you enter the settings menu, it always shows "High" even if it has been set to "Low" before.

Indeed,I also found that if a setting is changed(for example shadows), the "reflection" is set to "high".Therefore,I must set this option to "low" before applying the new changes.On the track,graphics settings are saved.

I couldn't resist and I bought the BMW M1 Procar Pack, too many memories...
IMHO the best pack after the ADAC, perfect for multiplayer.

before the ADAC

 

[Ricky78]

Indeed, with "after the ADAC" I mean that the ADAC is better.

 

[Ricky78]

LOL!!!

Peter, if you don't own other content you can't consider the BMW M1 Procar Pack better for multiplayer, because you basically don't have enough circuits where to race.
You should see it from the point of view of a customer, not of a dev that owns all the contents!
