F1 2012 Patch #4 now available (20MB update)

[Travis]

Today sees patch #4 available on Steam for PC versions of F1 2012.

This update addresses a number of issues, including:

• Understeer: Adjusted track information to provide a more uniform level of grip across the entire surface

• Fixed an issue where some users (especially those on laptops) were unable to change their resolution.
• Fixed a crash in Co-op when trying to resume a session at the start of a Qualifying session that neither player would take part in.
• Fixed issues with the weather system in Instant Replays / Race Replays which could instantly change the track wetness level.
• Removed engine damage from the list of damaged parts that can force a pit stop to take priority over a drive through penalty.
• Changed the Prime tyre compound to Hard for Suzuka to match the race this weekend. This change will not affect Time Attack which will continue to use the Medium compound tyre.
• Added a white cross to the DRS OSD to indicate to that it is unavailable because of a fault.
• Fixed a number of minor graphical issues.
• Fixed a couple of minor issues with timers not resetting correctly.
• Other changes of note:
• Added a Skip Session option so players can leave any session without having to complete it.
• Tweaked force feedback for all devices.
• Improved the lighting on Singapore.

Known issue:

• Saves not synchronising with the Steam cloud. If you are experiencing issues with saves uploaded to Steam’s cloud, we recommend using saved games stored on your local drive/PC.

The fixes listed above and those specific to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game are also being tested and verified on those platforms. As these versions require additional submission and authorisation from both Microsoft and Sony the release date for these will follow a little later than the PC version.

We are working on other issues you have reported via the forums, Facebook and Twitter and are working to fix them as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please note that we are still collecting feedback via our Technical Assistance forums and do encourage you to post your issues there being sure to include as much information as possible.

The awesome thing is we have 4th patch and it's not even 2 weeks since the game was officially released in Europe

Not only is the game getting fixed and updated, it also makes it worse for thieves who stole the game

Seems like every patch creates new (mahor) issues... Its good to see that CM at least releases more patches now. But still, imo, I find the game a bit broken. Alltho it has its good things too.

Well, looks like that patch 3 and this patch do not fixed that problem with engine, i can use maybe two flashback before engine starts to smoke.
And i really hope that patch 5 will do something about weather, allways raining.
But any way, codemasters have done good work, 4 patches done in pretty fast time and game is really mutch better now.
If next patch fixes weather system and engine thing, im really happy.
