  1. 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...

    Does anyone know how to get the gameface thing to work? I've created and saved my gameface but when I try to use it in game it says I don't have one...
    Nope but then I can't be arsed to try it. Why I can't just use Kinect boggles my mind. Other games use it but EA are too lazy to implement it :(

  3. It's silly because game developers won't develop games until enough people buy the consoles, and gamers won't buy them until there's enough games. The great thing about PC is that you decide if you want a game to look better or not, and you can always play your old games. I never understand why consoles don't support that. The first PS3s did but then the stopped it, and some games worked on 360. The differnce is you can make your old games look better on PC :) I do like my X1 and PS4, but they are pretty weak, especially the cpu. When the last gen came out the matched high end PCs, but the new ones are mid range at best. This is going to be the shortest console cycle I think, as other technology will pass them in a few years time.

    I think I might save up for some new pedals for my wheel, then get a h-shifter. While getting a new wheel would be sensible, I just love how many buttons I have on my DFGT.
    Agree loved my DFGT, not sure why other wheels don't have them like that. My T500rs F1 addon wheel has loads of buttons, and two analogue sticks but the standard wheel doesn't. My TX wheel doesn't have enough buttons either :( The G27 has F all on the wheel, the H shifter does but that means taking your hand off the wheel.
    I just love being able to adjust things on the fly in iRacing with the d-pad. Just need to get rich to get some good pedals, I can always upgrade my wheel later.
    Yea the FFB isn't actually that bad, it's just noisy compared to a belt driven wheel. That was my first ffb wheel and I loved it, but the pedals were crap. I bought it for GT5 prologue, and loved that you could change brake balance on the fly. Obviously you could do that in PC sims, but it was pretty cool being able to do it on a console sim :)

  5. @Hughesy Getting there dude! :)


    Looks good bud, although I love green so I'd keep the standard colour. After all I did have green coolent when I had a water loop. Just wish my stupid condition would allow me to still use it :( I miss my Gpu being totally silent and only 50c.

    Eh, before DLC there was expansion packs which were basically a season of DLC grouped together. For example, Command and Conquer: Red Alert had Aftermath and Counterstrike, and Red Alert came out in 1997! 
    Yes but they were huge and didn't cost the same as a full game ie Destiny expansions cost nearly the same amount as the full game but with a lot less content, also they didn't come out 5 minutes after the game was released like we get now. So many games have content held back to release as dlc, and years ago lots of devs would release expansions for free... Also EA have always milked customers.

  8. Not really, I hate dlc... I remember a time when you got a full game, ahh those days were awesome! Although saying that, I hope people on Xbox get a refund considering it's been available to purchase for a while now and giving a date when it's released.....

    Exclusive things like that are shitty no matter what console you have. Let people play on what they want, and give them the same content.... Gaming has really gone downhill in the last 5 years.

  9. @RevolvingPrawn‌ Possible fix for corrupt save bud 


    Go to your Steam installation folder (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) and pick out the subfolder "userdata". It will have another subfolder with a number; that is your Steam user ID. Note that if several users are running Steam on your machine, there will be multiple folders there. You need to know which ID is yours.

    The Steam AppID for F1 2014 is 226580. Look for the appropriate folder inside your ID folder. So, the path will be something like this:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<userID>\226580

    You will want to back up the 226580 folder completely so you can restore it in case you experience a corrupt savegame. I simply copy the folder and name the copy 226580_b1 (backup 1) after every one session with the game. I make another copy named 226580_b2 (backup 2) after every other session. This ensures that I have two backups so in case the savegame is effed up *on exit* and I happen to make a copy of the *broken* savegame, I will still have a second (obviously older) backup.

    Should keep data loss to a minimum. You might want to turn off cloud sync for F1 2014 in the Steam client, but so far it hasn't hindered me from restoring backups.

    Oh and one word of warning: NEVER EVER exit F1 and relaunch the game *before* Steam has finished synching the savegame. If you do that you *will* break your savegame right there! (I wonder how many people experience broken savegames because of this.) You HAVE to wait for Steam to finish synching every time you exit F1 (or disable cloud sync).

    Hope it helps.

    Someone stole my black recycling tub through the night, it was full with tins and plastic bottles but they took took them too....lol  Nobody else had there's stolen. I'm not even sure why someone would do that when you can get a replacement for free :o
    Possibly to make money recycling the cans?
    You can't make money here doing that, you have to pay to go in a recycling centre...lol plus if that was the case he/she would've nicked all of them around here. It's very odd and not really a big deal, as I already have a replacement on its way :)

  12. Don't blame you bud. Sometimes mods won't corrupt saves right away so it could still be them that caused it (you already used one that messed things up :p) does suck though, it's why I tend not to install mods as I tend to use texture mods but not database one (although I used yours for s bit)

    For anyone who doesn't have Bioshock Infinite, you can get it on Steam for £5 which is an awesome price!

  13. @Hughesy Don't suppose you've ever had an error on Steam saying "Failed to start game (Unknown error)" have you? Trying to launch F1 2014 and that's coming up, uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted appcache, deleted the save stored on the HDD. None of it worked.

    Edit: Got the game to run at last, save file is corrupted. Honestly, FFS.
    Yep I have bud, but not had a corrupt save. Did have corrupt saves in F1 12 & 13 though. I'd guess that it's all the mods you try mate :( Have you deleted the save yet?  There were a few workarounds for the older games but I can't for the life of me remember what they were.... Think one of them was to press enter on keyboard instead of using your wheel but Im not sure, try searching online.

    Why the hell did Codies not give Williams Merc engines?
    Seriously? What have they got then, Renault

    That is appaling.
    Yep it was found in the database, piss poor really and I really hope they sort it out for console players as they can't change it. You'd think the makers of the offical game would know what engine each team has lol. Mistakes get made, but I'm not sure how they missed that. I talked about it already in this thread but you guys must've missed it. I kinda made the crazy people in GD freak out when I wrote about it    :#

  15. I've been on two 15 hr flights to the States, 8 hr flights to Singapore, 9 hr flights to Hong Kong, 12 hr flights to Europe, a bunch of 3 hr flights to NZ and 3 hr flights to Perth including all the return legs without reclining purely out of courtesy to the person behind me. I like to think that by doing this, I'll have a nice funeral with pretty flowers and plenty of mourners including all the people I've sat in front of.
    I don't give a shit, I'll recline if I want to as I paid money to sit in a comfy reclining seat. Don't really care what a bunch of strangers think, why would they make the seats like that if they didn't want people to use them?  I've never had anyone ask me not to use it or complain. If anyone ever did I'd say to them they should've booked first class if they wanted loads of room. Can't book a cheap seat and then complain if you don't have room to stretch your nut sack out  :p


    (Not sure why I wrote that last bit, just sounded funny in my silly mind)  o:)

  16. I got a warning from my board after losing a game in the Championship, I'm 2nd in the league with Yeovil....lol Silly board! Won't sack Gary Johnson in real life even though we are 2nd from bottom in League1, yet in the game they want to sack me for being 2nd in the Championship. Fifa is silly sometimes :#

    I HATE people who recline seats on planes, its so damn ignorant

    http://www.gadgetduck.com/goods/kneedefender.html

    These seem to solve the problem
    How is it? If seats can recline, then whoever uses it is doing nothing wrong  B)
    Try having your knees rammed up against the back of a reclined seat, and the back of that seat inches away from your face for 6+ hours, then we'll see if you still think that ;)
    Stop flying on such cheap flights then  :p You could just recline your chair...
