F1 2011 Track does not load after patch 2 is installed

Bharath · Nov 23, 2011

Guys I have done a fresh install from the original disc and and installed both EFIGS version(only for retail disc) patch and after second patch got installed I am not able to play. When I try to play any mode after the track gets loaded, it gets stuck in this screen. I am able to hear only the sounds playing in the background. Is there any fix for this problem ? I am also not able to play online races.

before to install patch 1.2 check and copy i n desktop "flow .bin " from F1 2011/ system folder ..apply the patch and after copy and replace "flow.bin" file that u have in desktop

this does work for me but does it maintain the changes that were applied in patch 1.2?

@ bharath........I have the same problem as yours.... did the copying of original flow.bin file help???

The patch 1.2 WON'T be applied in this way... I checked this... In this case 1.1 will be applied...

Changing the flow.bin doesn't disable the new patch. Just disables online.

Ok guys I have got things working. This is what you got to do
1. take a backup of ur profile.
2. do a fresh install of the game.
3.take a backup of "flow.bin"
4.install patch 1
5 install patch 2
6. replace the flow.bin file in system folder with the original flow.bin file
7. you are good to go and the track will load properly this time

But I still don't see different race lengths like 30,40 and 75%. Anyone knows how to fix that ?

The second patch didn't apply properly otherwise you would see those distances. No idea why it does that.

Guys, can anybody please confirm that the above solution(Posted by Rat0n) works or not please? because I've re-installed the game like three times after installing the patch 2.

Using the given method, the game started working, but I dont get 30,40,75 race distance.

the patch does not apply with the flow.bin of 1.1

Jocc · Nov 25, 2011

With 1.1 FLOW.bin it's ABSOLUTELY NOT WORKING!!!

With 1.0 FLOW.bin it's working but it's NOT 1.2!

Arunabha Sen · Nov 25, 2011

Well the game works with 1.0 flow.bin but the after race celebration videos are all messed up.

Try installing the patch with a fresh install and no savegame (delete your savegame or move it somewhere else)

Wont I lose all data, and have to start the career again?
I don't want to play the career again from the beginning.

Bharath · Nov 26, 2011

Same here.... the post race celebration are completely messed up ..It shows me a some random part of the track with only the roads and some F1 cars moving about...looks ugly...

Still not able to see those race lengths in main menu... damn it and no online play
