rFactor 2 Open Beta is OUT!

[Ramon van Rijn]

This time seriously!
- Unzip the rar file
- Run the exe file

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Meh, stupid visa-card system that require JAVA, or rF2 launcher that doesn't support JAVA. Now my payment is pending, and I cannot do a thing!

If you took the time to read this thread you could have seen it has been posted several times that you pay for the full game, not for the beta only. You can also request a refund if you dont like it.

I'll be going to buy a physical copy of the game at a store anyway I guess... I asked you already though.

Btw: Simrace.tv seems to have http download links:

Just opened up 8 pages looking for the info, but I couldn't find it.

My bad, it was posted in a reply in the announcement post on the frontpage: http://www.racedepartment.com/2012/01/rfactor2-open-beta-release/

Hmm the torrent ain't going nicely.. Just 800kB/s.. But will wait until it's finished..

 

[Gary Lennon]

I have to wait until tomorrow to go put enough cash in to my bank,it was all working nice as well allowing me through the process,oh well.....
Can i install the torrent .rfmod files i have or will it all need to be active first?.

 

[Keith Barrick]

Just had my first taste....and im impressed for an open beta. Some things need tweaking...but my biggest love is the sounds and the quality of replays. It is going to make for some incredible broadcasts in the future.

Can anyone get online yet?

Bottom right click "Manage mods" you should be able to without paying I believe.

No problem mate, hope it will work nicely. Most will overlook it though I guess.

 

[Gary Thompson]

Surprised they're charging for the 1st beta release !
Even Microsoft didn't charge for the 4 beta releases of Windows 7.

 

[Bob Luneski]

Yep, tons o' servers including RD ones

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Was I just unlucky, or is it a bad netcode on this game compared to rF, and actually RACE as well?

For the sake of sounding like a broken record

Read the known issues in the rf2 directory.

Whats this buy rf2 with unlimited online membership? Do we need to pay to play online?

Yes, here is an annual sbscription of around $13, or a lifetime membership at $85 and you get 18 months included with beta.

It wasn't odd collisions, it was more a case of "floating" and not being able to run close.

 

[Franz Ulrich]

wait a sec, do i need to pay to be able to test an 'open beta' ? is that correct ?

sorry, back to iracing and GPL then...

good luck guys!

It's absolutely ridiculous! It's a Beta, it's not the final product, its for testing purposes, we're helping ISI to fine tune and debug the final product, so why should I pay for an unfinished product? Simply ridiculous! I work developing software and this is insulting.

Sorry for being so honest.

*yawn*

What part of 'you are paying for the final game in advance' and 'you can have a refund if you don't like the beta' are people having so much difficulty understanding?

If you don't like that policy don't buy it and wait for the gold release. What's the big problem?
