rFactor 2 refund

[Joao Borges]

Let's see if any of you can help me. I have requested a refund for the game yesterday. I have received an email saying the refund request has been processed. I checked my credit card balance and they have not given the money back. Do I have to wait a little more or have they screwed me over?

I think you should at least wait a couple of days with the weekend and all.
The other thing you should refer to ISI as we can't do much for you in this matter.

After I saw the refund processed, I thought that meant the process was complete. Thanks for the reply Stefan.

Afaik it takes at least a couple of days for these things to get sorted up and I also think it depends on how you`ve paid in the first place.

IE paypal or another method...

It`ll be fixed up for you as long as your within the refund time period which I`m sure you probably are.

I bought the beta about a week ago, so I am within the refund time. I cant get enough FPS on it, if I lower the settings it looks way too bad, worse than Race 07. Game is poorly optimized when it comes to graphic settings.

 

[Randy Chamberlin]

Well its still a beta as you know. What are your specs? Within recommended I imagine? I have borderline specs and it looks great for me. Gettin better for sure. I have an HD 4860 1 gig card and AMD Phenom quad core 2.6 mhz

 

[Joao Borges]

My specs are way above recommended. Maybe the fact that I run at resolution of 1920X1080 can hurt FPS a bit. But on the other hand, I can run iRacing with 20 or more cars on track with more than 75FPS at most times. Race 07 runs at around 90FPS. Sometimes I get higher than that. rFactor 2 with other cars goes down to 40, 35 FPS on medium settings. No HDR, no Anti Aliasing.

Specs:
4GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 925 Quad Core 2.8GHz
ATI HD 5750 1GB

Joao, shadows are the biggest killers. Set the shadows to medium/low and switch OFF road/environment reflections, sun etc and you should see big improvement. Do a few tests with different settings.

Also set anti-liasing to "None" and FXAA ON. Something else you can do is make sure that settings in ATI Catalyst are set properly, I think best in your case would be to let the application settings and not maybe Quality to max.

Let us know.

Cheers

Settings are set properly in ATI Catalyst because I changed them for iRacing. I lowered them a bit for rFactor 2 but still have bad FPS. I already asked for refund anyways, I'll just wait for the demo. Who knows, I probably will have a better PC by then.

Thank you for all the help, appreciate it Stefan.

I wish I could get a refund, I'd buy rfactor 1.

My settings for iRacing and pCars are radically different. One-size-fits-all doesn't work with these two sims. As was mentioned before turn AA off in-game and let the card do the work for pCars. I found this to be the biggest hit beyond anything in that game. It's the difference between over 60fps in that game down to 30-40 ish or so for me.
