    Here's a story I forgot to tell you lot about when I went to the Costa Del Sol with my brother. We were at the front of the plane as I needed more leg room. Some oldish guy sat next to me (must've been 50) Anyway he talked to me for the whole flight. He had a dodgy London accent, he seemed like a nice bloke though. He told me he goes to the Costa Del Sol every few weeks as his mate owns a bar(which was near where we were staying) He helped me get my bag when the flight ended, but then told me to not let a load of people past me before passport checkin.
     I didn't know why at the time and still don't really. Anyway when I got near it (it was a long  room) I could see him getting led away by police, and at that point my brother and I checked out bags incase he planted something in them (he didn't)..... So whatever he was upto it was dodgy lol what do you think he did then? I thought some sort of drug kingpin as he had big gold rings and looked expensively dressed, yet was on a cheap Ryan Air flight. We also saw police at the bar he told us about  :o  

    Didn't really think anything else of it after that, but wished I picked up a paper to see if there was anything wrote about it. I'm always seeing on the news drug kingpins getting busted at the Costa Del Sol lol 
    That's a very weird story! I wonder what happened in the end to him. That sounds so dodgy. I go to the Costa Del Sol every year but I've never experienced anything like that!
    Shows going on a Ryan Air flight can be fun hehe o:) At the time I didn't really think about it as I wanted to enjoy my holiday with my brother, but I often now think about it. He seemed like a nice bloke, as most of the time I get treated like shit by strangers (like a lot of people with a disability) but he was so nice. Maybe he was buttering me up to become a drug runner lol who knows... Wouldn't be very good though as every airport has wanted to check my crutches.

    What part of the Costa Del Sol do you normally go to, or do you go to different places? I had great fun even though it was the first time I hadn't drank alcohol on holiday.
    Atleast I remembered it as the holiday  before in Prague (again with my brother) I didn't remember much lol apart from a black guy asking us if we wanted some juicy juicy..... :o

    Great last post Hughesy. It's true that this is something basic which I honestly wouldn't expect any developer to get wrong and that only that there might be a patch is poor, saying there should be a lawsuit over it is just pure ridiculous.
    Thank you. I just go on my experience, if I had a lawsuit for everything I did wrong at my workplace I'd be in jail o:) Everyone makes mistakes, after all we're only human. I'm sure a patch will come, what Hatta (probably) meant was that he hasn't had confirmation of a patch hence saying potential. He can't say anything else as that would be misinformation. I'm sure there'll be a patch, people just need a little patience.

    If people don't like that then never buy a game when it's just been released, as every game needs them. Bugs will always be found as they aren't going to hire a few hundred thousand people just to test. When you have so many people buying games these days bugs will always be found that weren't picked up on when developing it ;)

    What do they want patched :L
    There are a few things, like the Williams having a Renault engine instead of a Merc, and the AI are far foo fast in the wet(Codemasters have acknowledged this) Also apparently the pad users are most upset about something. I'm not sure how it's "unplayable" though lol. I wrote a response to him so I'm just waiting for a load of abuse to come my way. o:) instead of getting angry I just laugh when I get abusive posts now, as I really couldn't care less what a kid calls me B)
    I agree the Williams needs correcting given they do use merc engines now  and the same with probable wet pace although tbh I've not had problems wet or dry really although I've only had a couple of wet races so far. I can't speak about pad but the game plays just fine on keyboard. Tbh though I don't think this game needs any moer than 1 patch to fix those things you mentioned and the AI being fast in the wet could be left alone as on the easy levels it's not bothering me too much.
    The reason you think it's ok bud is because keyboard uses the same hidden traction assist as a controller. In the wet using a pad is over a second quicker than a wheel. Steve Hood has already said its not right. Also when using the easier difficalty they have the AI set to go slow so that people that already aren't that quick don't suffer in the wet. Put it this way, in the dry I'm at the same pace as Hamilton but in the wet I'm upto 3 seconds slower than him per lap. I'm only slightly faster than Lotus in the wet (using the Mercedes) If I set my wheel to (override to controller) I suddenly have a massive amount of traction. I love driving in the wet, but the AI have a stupid amount of traction.

    We've yet to release any information on a potential patch yet. I'll keep you updated with any info I can pass on.
    You know what, it's just plain ridiculous to come up with an answer like this.

    POTENTIAL patch??? Seriously?

    There HAS to be a patch! The game is unplayable, balance wise. The least you should have come up with was a "there WILL BE a patch, we just don't have an ETA".

    It sound like you guys are sitting in your offices drinking coffe and considering wheter its viable to patch the game or not. This is unacceptable. We paid a fair amount of money for this game. It's a matter of consumer rights. Eligible for a lawsuit if you ask me.

    Be professional and give us a decent answer.
    On what legal grounds? I'd suggest go outside, take a deep breath and calm down, remembering it's just a game and there's a lot worse things in life than a game not working as you'd like it to. Does the game need a patch? Yes it does, does it need an outburst like that? No it doesn't. No wonder devs don't post here anymore, as if people can't post in a mature manner they won't bother responding. 

  6. @RevolvingPrawn‌ There really are some hysterical kids in the GD section, it just makes me laugh. Someone responds to Hatta....

    Funny how I can catch the AI at the end of a race if they don't get tyre wear.... Stop spinning your rear tyres and using a silly setup.
    That's because the AI sucks at fuel management, and many times are on fuel saving mode at the end of a race.
    I also suck at fuel management and find myself in fuel saving mode a lot, so that has nothing to do with it. This is the first time it feels equal to me. Alonso has (many times) stuck with me when chasing down P1. People are too quick to say it's a bug, and couldn't possibly be the way they're driving. ;)

  9. @AMS97KRR Haha, don't worry bud, you should have seen my PC this time last year :p Not tidy at all!
    Haha I remember it, seen mine and was like "I need to tidy my cables up" now you're ocd lol :p

    Two fans in my case just broke at the same time lol. One was from my old Noctua cooler at the top of my case, and another which was at the bottom (Can't remember the make) both sound like a bearing problem. Still now that I've unplugged them both my PC is really silent, like the power brick on my X1 makes more noise lol. Got to buy some more DS fans soon. Going to stick with this case as it fits so many fans o:) I'd love to buy another 4, one at the bottom and three at the top but Im not sure I need that many really. I'll probably buy another two and see how performance vs noise is. Anyone reading this, you should buy these fans! There are different colours and in 120mm &140mm size.

    Absolutely fine bud, although the temps that really matter are ingame temps. Looking at that though they will be fine when gaming ;)
    Completely agreed, all good on the temps :) 

    Still can't figure out why the shroud wouldn't come off earlier. Looking at pics online I got all the screws off that I needed to, but of course no bloody site describes or shows how to get it off without removing the entire heatsink.
    Maybe that's because you need to remove it? I don't know as I don't have the reference cooler.

  11. Well I've been to the local PC shop, they didn't have 3pin fan splitters. The guy said he'd never heard of any and wouldn't recommend running more than one fan on a 3pin cable. From what I've read though a 3pin cable can support 2 fans no problem. Kind of annoyed!
    Yep they work fine bud, I've used many in the past. What store was it? If it was PC World they know F all lol. You can get them from Scan for a few quid, or Overclockers which would be better as they do Royal Mail delivery which is cheaper. If you have a Maplins store near you they also sell them. You can get a splitter that supports 4 fans so that guy knows nothing....

    Shame you didn't buy the MSI version, good luck with it bud ;)
    I did ;) And cheers dude, hopefully it should be all good and look great! Contacted a seller on ebay and things are looking good for getting a spare cooler too with the led in it :)
    Also, just did an hours gaming, GPU temps are 5c down on what they were with my 300R :D 
    I'm sure when  you first  posted a pic of the GPU you were getting it wasn't MSI. Maybe you chose a different one as I see it's an MSI in the last purchase thread. Good stuff that the temps are down, although I'd expect that from a bigger case ;) Im pretty sure my card didn't have the sticker on the back, although it was over a year ago when I took the cooler off for watercooling. It might be different for those reference designs, either way you should be fine as those stickers can fall off pretty easy if you did need to take it off.
     All this talk of modding and changing cases is making me want to change stuff in my PC. I'm going to get my Corsair 600T out and see if I can find a way to fit the 140mm fans inside.

    Getting a red Golf next year, fed up with my silver one ;)
    A brand new one? My dads got a 2013 black Golf GTD, very nice car ;)

    You can never go wrong with a Golf, or a Volkswagen
    Yep, I currently have a 2012 model. I'm not changing just for the colour, but  I need to drive an automatic because of my stupid condition. Did have an auto but I was only renting that while my current one had some things changed. I agree I love my Golf, I tested loads of cars in the same sort of range, but nothing felt as nice as the Golf o:)
    You know, my dad always says the same thing. In my lifetime my dad has always had a Golf apart from a Passat which was equally as good :L Is it a full auto or you going for one of those nice DSG boxes?
    Going for one with the DSG gear box. My mums car has it and it's awesome, it actually changes gear better than what a human could (or than I could lol) as it feels so smooth. My current one is only a 1.6, but I'm thinking about getting the 2L version o:) Probably won't be getting it until next October, but I want to try and get it before that so that I have it when (if) @RevolvingPrawn‌ and I go to an F1 race (Silverstone or Spa)

    Haha good luck, hope that doesn't void the warranty? I'm sure there were some companies doing the LEDs in blue, but not sure if they do with the 900 series.
    I've no idea if it does, but I hope not! I'll be taking part of the shroud off to do it, but I won't be removing any of the heatsink itself so I'm hopeful that doesn't count as invalidating warranty :p You know that little round no entry type of sticky on the screws holding the heatsink to the pcb? I won't have to unscrew them as far as I know :)
    If there's a company out there doing it I'd deffo buy it, easier than doing it myself that's for sure!
    That's the good thing about MSI, they allow you to take the heatsink off without voiding it o:)

    Cant find the card that did it btw, but here's a guide to do it yourself if you haven't already looked at it. I'm sure you could make it blue yourself although the White does look awesome! https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/750811/cooling-and-case-modding/modding-my-gtx-780-ti/
