F1 2012 Ultra High LOD&Settings MOD

momorious · Oct 2, 2012

mhm with this mod installed I nearly get the steam error 41 every time I want to go on the track. I tried every possible setting, in total at least 20 times but only could started 1 benchmark test with a result of 44 fps with everything on maximum on a triple screen setup. before this mod I had 60 fps so it decreases the fps a lot.. but a bigger problem is that I cannot go onto track.. I get the "loading" screen and then the game crashes and I am back on my deskotp.
Ah and I can confirm that the MCLaren looked VERY blue in the benchmark test. All white/silver materials are really blue.. First thought my graphics card is crashing now

Do you think I can run it with a GTX 660 Ti ??

Thx!

You can try, in principle should be enough for minimal 30fps, but you can always adjust the graphics options, ultrahigh shadows or reflections can be a pretty big impact on fps rate, in this case change the shadows or reflections down to ultra and testing.

Edit
Maurice I have not tried in the Steam version, do not know what can be the problem

mhm after restoring all files with the original files the game worked properly again.. then I patched it again with the mod and again the steam error 41.. this is a very bad error, codemasters itself does not know why this error appears to some user..
but anyway, maybe they fix it with patch #4.. Is there a possibility that you can look into the files why the white materials are now looking that blue..?

Played a quick race at Melbourne so far and it looks awesome.Thx for your great work,Acura.Benchmark: 45 fps min. and 62 fps max with my Gigabyte GTX 670 OC

Does this make the reflections (off car nose & standing water) kick in earlier?. This is the one thing that really hit me in the face when I tried the game for the first time.

thx

Can try removing your saved files folder my documents/my games/f1 2012 (backup before) after create a new game, maybe this fix the problem? Only a thought

on the other question of images in blue, you can display an image?

Are you running out of VRAM ???, that card is perfectly capable of running the game @ 60 FPS without drops.

Hello, Acura.
This Mod raises the quality of F1 2012 graphics to the next level !
Many Thanks for this fantastic work as always

Note:
One thing about the "High LOD detail for cars and AI"
If you use "generics_highLOD.pssg" over "generics_lowLOD.pssg"
You will not have car reflection in the rain for AI car, only player has.

Strange, to me the opposite is true

With the mod

With original files

No! As i mentioned in my post above,i just made a quick race in Melbourne so far .And during this race my little card tool shows me about 1600mb mem usage max.My in game settings are at max. with 8 x MSAA.Resolution is 1920x1080.

Thank you very much for the super mod. I didn't use the folder "system", my card 5870 is the weak. But car and helmet is perfect! It's good work.

does not fixed my problem

And I would post a picture of the blue looking materials if I could.. But I cant get the game running properly, as I said I always get the error 41 when the game is loading.. Cant go onto track.
Maybe someone else can post a comparison picture?

Awesome mod, runs perfectly with a GTX 670 on ultra & 8x SSAA
only lost 1 FPS in the benchmark.

Tom · Oct 3, 2012

Well, I've had a different experience.

No mods, default cars etc.

Ultra High LOD mod + 2x HD cars for player & AI (if available, if not available normal HD car skins) + reddvers track updates + modmates cams

Ultra High LOD mod + 2x HD cars for player only (if available, if not available normal HD car skins) + reddvers track updates + modmates cams

Ultra High LOD mod installed but normal Ultra settings used + 2x HD cars for player only (if available, if not available normal HD car skins) + reddvers track updates + modmates cams

Ultra High LOD mod installed but normal Ultra settings used + 2x HD cars for player & AI (if available, if not available normal HD car skins) + reddvers track updates + modmates cams

It's looking good but takes a lot of performance away in my case.

1920x1080, all maxed out.

Corsair DDR3 PC3-12800 - 4 x 4 GB (16 GB) 1600 MHz - CAS9
