  1. The joys of a new GPU, seems like driver issues. You don't use Steam big picture mode do you? As that causes stuttering in games sometimes (happens to me in Alien Isolation) also might me where you have a high hz monitor, as that was one of the things I had problems with before. Many games (bad ports) don't like anything above 60hz.

    Yea you really couldn't criticise how well they optimise them (Codemasters) just a shame they use bug testers from India ( apparently) instead of the UK. I just hope that F1 is 60fps on Xbox One/PS4 as racing games need to be 60fps. Saying that though, Horizon 2 is 30 but somehow feels it's running at 60fps. I'm not sure how but it does, might be becuase it's a rock solid 30 (of could be magic) 

  2. got to say the Master chief collection looks awesome just on cut scenes alone

    That music still brings chills up my spine. Spent stupid amount of hours playing Halo 1&2 with my mates. A happy time in my life as I didn't have MS, so brings back good memories :)

    @RevolvingPrawn‌ Seems even though you can set The Evil Within to 60fps I can't get anywhere near a stable 60, no wonder they capped it to 30fps (for cinematic reasons..lol) it's just really badly optimised. The graphics aren't even that great, even on next gen consoles the framerate drops well below 30fps. I'll probably still buy it when Ive finished the rest of the demo (although I might wait for a price drop) as clearly no work has been done for the PC version. For a game like this 30fps isn't that bad but really it should be hitting 60 with such average graphics. It does use id tech 5 which explains a lot, but Wolfenstein looks just as good and runs at 60fps easily.
    Completely agreed bud. For a console game it's what you'd expect. But the PC version just hasn't really had any major work done on it to take advantage of more powerful hardware. The graphics are very standard and the game really shouldn't be as taxing as it is. Very lazy port I'd say.

    Can't agree about Wolfenstein though :p I get a lot of micro stuttering from that, and even if I try to force AA through Nvidia control panel I still get jagged lines every where. Plus the textures look shabby and a bit too pixelated for me. It's a fun game, just not very well made.

    What I find weird, for a company that seems to barely do any bug testing, Codemasters games are ridiculously well optimised! 
    What card were you using in Wolfenstein? That's the first I've seen of those problems, even my brother with a 670 and a AMD 955be (which is a pretty old cpu) runs it at 60fps 1080P fine. I don't have pixelated textures either. You got to remember it uses a thing called "mega textures" (which aren't really mega) but it's done sorta like a painting instead of the classic way, which is why it looks weird and not pin sharp but from an artistic point of view it's pretty good.  I never said it looks awesome though but it looks just as good as Evil Within.  It obviously doesn't like your PC lol most places say it's well optimised.
     Yea I agree on the last part, Codemasters games always run well even on old hardware, yes the graphics aren't the best but they aren't that bad either (especially the wet weather graphics)

    Has anyone ever had a proper youth academy going? I'm tempted to sell my older players and replace them with some youth ones.

    I already use some of the real Sunderland academy players - Watmore is used a lot in my team and I've used Agnew and Honeyman a lot. I'm struggling for numbers in defence now so I'm tempted to promote a few game grown ones.
    My whole team are youth players, the oldest is 23 after that most are 16-18. Worst rated player is 69 which is my keeper who is 16. Not bad for a championship team, but when I get in the prem it's going to be hard, I'm going to stick with it though (I play on world class) 7 of my starting 11 came from my youth squad, still trying to find money for the 16 year old striker I have on loan who is now rated 76 o:) 6ft, strong in the air and is very fast! My youth staff have 5 star ratings for both stats which helps find good talent. It's always hard to know how good they are until you promote them, but if you want to cheat make a backup save and then save again on your normal slot, then promote them. If they turn out to be crap just go back to your backup save ;)

  6. @RevolvingPrawn‌ Codemasters just released a small patch to add more supported wheels. Now I can just use my TX :) Bit of a pain as I had to switch between the two if I was playing Horizon 2 and then F1 o:) Not sure why they didn't support it in the first place, but still nice that they have now as I didn't think they would.

    Hi all,
    Just to let you know - we'll be releasing a steering wheel compatibility update later today on PC/Steam. Here's what we've added...

    PC/Steam Wheel Compatibility Update

    Added support for:

    • Fanatec V2 Steering Wheel
    • Thrustmaster T300RS
    • Thrustmaster TX racing wheels

    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Update: This change is now live.
    Awesome! Thank you, I have a T500 but I also have the TX wheel. Glad I can just use my TX now, as it means I don't have to keep unscrewing it from my wheel stand every time I  go and play my Xbox One again :)

  8. Says I've played it for 7 hours on mine :p There's 15 chapters and I'm on 6 or 7 I think.
    Lol silly Steam, says you've only played it 1.7 hours on mine.... :# The Demo includes the first three chapters, so that's pretty good. Not really loving it yet, just hiding from that fat man with a chainsaw.

  9. Just had a quick test and you're right :) Should make the game a lot easier to play I think.

    As for the free game, I'm not really too bothered about it :p 
    How come you've only played it for like 1.7 hours bud? I thought you liked it, or has F1 been keeping you occupied  o:)

    @RevolvingPrawn‌ Good news, there's a demo for The Evil Within  :D So I can try it to see if I like it http://www.pcgamer.com/the-evil-within-gets-a-demo-owners-get-free-copy-of-call-of-cthulhu/ Btw you also get a free copy of Call of Cthulhu, pretty old game and I've never played it, but hay it's free o:) 
    Give it a go bud, I haven't been on since they've patched it, but don't expect it to help bud. When I did it through the console it just zooms the camera in even closer and you can barely see anything lol.
    No bud its a proper fix so that doesn't happen now ;) They didn't just patch in a setting from the console commands so people have told me. Not sure you you will get that free game as its only if you buy from Steam (I think) It's meant to be a pretty good horror game even though it came out in 2006.

  12. Oh, well done @justbiglee.
    errrrr?

    You'll have to forgive me I've been off this last few days and busy with DiRT stuff before that - am I right in thinking the corrupt save came after taking off the mods?
    Yep looks like it. I said that could do it as its not a game made for mods is it. Once he put them back in the save worked. Is that a hint that a new Dirt game is on its way? @RevolvingPrawn‌  is always breaking stuff :p  

  13. @onetwothree Uh oh. Recycling the Recycle Bin causes what I can only describe as a mini black hole to form inside your computer. Time and space may speed up and fold in on themselves, taking you with them. 

    Your clock is 12 hours ahead of ours you say? Dear mother of God... It's already too late for you.
    let's just hope the black hole doesn't expand and suck the rest of us in :p
    Nah it only effects Aussies  :p

  14. Is it just me or is every CM game, every year plagued by some sort of save corruption issue? Perhaps it's time to recode that part of the game(s)? @T4RG4
    Agree, to be fair though it does seem to be because of the mods he's installed ;) But it has been a problem since 2010 on both PC and and consoles.

  15. @Hughesy Just reloaded all my mods to F1 2014, launched the game and my save file is working again... Lol, so confused! But also very happy that I don't have to start career again and still have my setups :D
    That's good then bud, maybe you need to keep the mods otherwise it corrupts the save... :#

  16. I wouldn't wear a pair of trackies out and about because it would be frankly insulting, but they're flippin awesome for lounging about.
    I wear jogging bottoms all the time because they are comfy. Plus I can walk better in them than jeans due to my stupid body. I have to wear anything I can to make myself comfy, so looks don't come into it anymore for me o:)

    Really angry, I have 5 of my best players injured at an important time in the season. Also have two other good players away for international duty but still have to play..... Do EA not know the bloody rules? Championship teams get an international break like the prem in real life, yet they don't in Fifa15. It wasn't like this on Fifa 14...
    Which Yeovil players are international quality?!
    I don't have any players that played for them, all are young and became International quality. Some already were as I found good young players. Saying that one original player got called up, Maloney. ;) We've had a few players who've played at international level over the years, current player Joel Grant plays for Jamaica  :p I could ask how any of your players play for an international level :#
    Quite a lot, actually :p 
    Uhh you miss the word How? They're all shite :p Most of them aren't Championship level at the moment let alone premier league :#
    Our injury crisis creates that illusion :p 
    Just ended a game with 8 men :#
    Excuses excuses :p

    Damn banks that's the second time this year they've blocked my card from working for suspected fraud glad it's sorted now though
    Yea I've had the same bud, it's bloody annoying! Happened when I was buying my 780, and by the time I found out I had to wait an extra day for my GPU... They didn't even ring me :|
    strange thing is though my card never leaves my room unless Mum wants to loan some money from me the rest of the time I'm using it to buy things on sites that are generally trustworthy like Amazon. I only found out when Amazon tried to take my money for a CD I ordered and failed.
    Yea I wouldn't worry, there's no sense to the way banks block your card. Seems they block legit purchases and fail to block fraudulent ones lol....
