taken from the codemasters forum.

"For those of you who have read the Patch Process thread , Step 1 & 2 have now been completed; many thanks to all of you who provided as much information as possible on the issues you have encountered. The patch has now been submitted to MS and Sony (Step 3) for their testing and approval prior to prepping it for release. Once the patch has passed submission we'll update the fix list with the finalised patch notes."


hope MS and Sony don't take too long.....

Yippee! ...... only a day to go .... :wink:






.... or perhaps not

 

[Engage]

Now that is good news




.......or is it

 

[Lewis Travis]

Looking forward

 

[Regis Maiocchi]

yeah... but Microsoft and Sonny must aprove it... let's wait so ;D

 

[Diego Lopez]

pffft approvals...really...they dont even game. losers.

I don't understand why they can't publish the PC patch. No one has to approve it.

GFWL = Microsoft

They do have to approve it otherwise multiplayer wouldn't be an option on the PC. From memory MS took longer to approve the first patch than Sony too, so it will be interesting to see what their turnaround times are.

They had this on there about a week ago... I don't expect to hear anything more for at least another week probably even more....

im not too hopeful, i mean how much could really be fixed? if the guys actually spent time on it instead of twittering all the time then maybe it will be fixed properly. i guess we will have to wait and see.

I believe the correct term is 'twatting' ......

I thought it was the same thing as well Peter, but under further scrutiny i discoved the change was that they had finished the patch and submitted it for approval. Last week they were still testing the patch themselves.

Time Trial and Time Attack leaderboards will be reset upon patch release

Unfortunately, we will have to wipe both Time Trial and Time Attack leaderboards. Part of the fix for this issue involves upgrading the ghost car system so that only ghosts from patch 2 onwards will be posted to the leaderboards. This functionality is necessary to prevent players from uploading ghosts created on earlier versions of the game after patching. This change to the ghost car system will also result in locally-held ghosts from previous versions of the game being overwritten. This allows players to set new fastest times in the latest version of the game (otherwise it would be impossible to compete against times generated using the modified car setups and no one would be able to post new times to the leaderboards).

Whilst car setups cannot be modified in Time Attack modes, the second patch also fixes some other bugs that could result in bad times being generated. These other issues have been less prevalent in the Time Attack modes. However, scheduling a wipe of all leaderboards is the only means of ensuring the integrity of all of the leaderboards following the release of the second patch.

 

[Steve Sachse]

The resetting of Time Trial and Time Attack leaderboards is fantastic news to my ears. :eek:

 

[Karl Fuss]

Now if we can get RD to reset the setups that ppl have posted in the directory.... There are way too many 11/11 setups listed there.

 

[Chris]

Everything seems fine to me, but the only two things that is pissing me off about this patch coming out is that they wont update the DRS zones and they wont update the new drivers

 

[F1-JEP7]

Any more news as to when patch #2 will be ready? Its got to be soon; I hope.

 

[downforze]

F1 2010 is still not free of bugs, so I dont count on a perfect patch. After patch 2, I bet it all finished with support.

 

[Apex1972]

yes, so we need to be patient . I will be glad to wait till end of year if it meant everything would be fixed. unfortunately, this wont be the case. the patch will be rushed out just like the game itself and then we might even have more bugs, just like last year.

 

[Derek Kind]

Well, if Patch #2 has been submitted to Microsoft, then Codemasters will have completed work on said patch and the only thing we're waiting on is for them to approve it.
