    F1 2020 Steelbook Edition

    It's useful to those in the UK. Sorry I can't help more.

    F1® 2020 | Spain Hotlap

    I've gone back to your original comment and I'm still none the wiser. Who is F1? I answered. Both FIA and FOM are F1. It's like saying who is Association Football? It's FIFA, UEFA, the (English) FA, the Premier League, the English Football League, the teams (and employees like players and staff), the PFA, the PGMOL, the local (regional) FA's, not least the supporters. The FIA grant the Grade 1 status, the laser scanning of tracks would be either paid for by the circuit management (directly or indirectly via the inspection certification), but might become the property of the FIA as part of the process or may be made available at a cost directly from the contractor who carried the survey out. Circuit management would do wise to retain the data either way for survey purposes and as a record to monitor track evolution with regard to profile, etc. The FIA could either control the access rights to the scanning information or it may delegate the rights to access to the F1 Group who then as FOM might view it as commercially useful (maybe even selling it back to the circuit owners or to say, games developers....) Someone at Codemasters will know. It might even be economically feasible to hire their own survey team, provided clearance (might be permission, might be a fee) is obtained from the circuit owner / operator.

    F1® 2020 | Spain Hotlap

    Both. FOM is owned and operated by Liberty, they manage the sport's commercial operation including the race contracts and TV rights. FIA are the regulatory body who set the rules and hold the championship. FOM have a Concorde Agreement with the teams and the FIA, which expires at the end of 2020.

    F1 2020 BETA - Process Closed

    If there are a lot of applicants, people who spend a lot of time in the game and confirm or report nothing and do not complete feedback could be removed. Just can't wait to hear the slew of "thoughts" from users after 10 minutes of playing, that have zero chance of making the final game.... This. Then why not see if the issue is present in the beta? Also, the known issues that people have.

    TM T3PA Pedals with Fanatec DD1

    Not really. It just makes other wheels cross-console. The pedals won't plug into the Drivehub. In fact, support for some devices is qualified by saying you need the USB adapter. That puts us squarely back to the initial query 🙂

    F1 2020 Steelbook Edition

    It's always been a GAME exclusive in UK (but it does look like just the 70 edition)

    https://forums.codemasters.com/announcement/38-want-to-report-an-issue-have-a-bug-to-report-please-look-here-first/ Those MSI laptops can be a problem with the sound drivers, which I suspect is the problem. Don't forget to post a dxdiag and the exact model of the laptop (Apache GE62 is a range).

    TM T3PA Pedals with Fanatec DD1

    You can't do this. The device that is recognised on the USB IS the wheelbase. The pedals are accessories and only work via the wheelbase. But you're right about the adapters, they're out of stock and frequently. Even the passive Logitech ones for attaching them (Logitech pedals) to Thrustmaster bases are frequently out of stock too.

    Future F1 games / madness engine & physics

    Maybe. I'm not going to dispute that. Most moves are made to make financial sense. But VR can't be high on the list for current F1 customers, they've put it in Dirt Rally 2.0 and that's an EGO game.

    the game crashes always

    If you can delete the hardware_settings_config_xml before launching, then try going into the configuration and setting the V-SYNC ON and Medium or High Graphics preset? Save and exit the game then relaunch and try to play. Sorry, the dxdiag has not provided the name of your motherboard (I will start qualifying the request of a dxdiag to include these going forward as it is more often than not the case) can you provide them please?

    Future F1 games / madness engine & physics

    People having VR will bring VR to F1. For the majority of players they don't, so the game doesn't need to support it,

    League broken after rule change

    Please post a bug report https://forums.codemasters.com/announcement/38-want-to-report-an-issue-have-a-bug-to-report-please-look-here-first/
  16. Any of the Logitech videos online that show the screws being removed can help. G25/G27 and G29/G920 pedalsets are the same, just the gaiters are red on the early pedals and black on the newer ones. The detected pedal travel on the G29/G920 is shorter and the rubber stopper is best left in.

    Are multiplayer equal cars actually equal?

    The multiplayer car was what the community was asking for as in previous games the equal cars were the multiplayer cars "balanced" to give very similar performance. In community testing, discrepancies were found (like top speed variances of a few kph) and it was probably fair to say that some cars suited particular driving styles and that setups that worked on one car were not as effective on some others. But the best players were only able to find 0.2-0.4s a lap difference at most (enough for an advantage for them over a race distance, but this assumes you can perfect every lap and make no errors or different strategy calls, have no damage etc.) Yes, I know. 0.2-0.4s in qualifying is forever - when you're 11th and 0.3s off pole.... Duly, the multiplayer car arrived (I'm gonna call it 'Me Julie' like Seb calls a car by a girl's name!) It was always resisted, alledgedly due to licensing restrictions, but these do appear to have been relaxed. Over the past few games, damage levels increased as these were also part of the rights discussions and age rating, AFAIK. Unfortunately they affect the car so much even at light levels and the amount of retirements for (SIM) damage increased so the mode was quickly forgotten for MP.

    changed graphics card and now f1 2019 crashing

    It's possible the Nvidia card has drivers that aren't all that great. The HD6950 should use the built-in Windows driver (15.7.1) it's five years old but yeah, that's the way to go. The other thing to consider is whether or not V-SYNC is enabled. F1 2019 ships with V-SYNC OFF by default. High framerates are as much to blame as the 'wrong' settings. For others can you list resolution (e.g. 1280x720) refresh rate, V-SYNC, AA (TAA/Checkerboard/Off), AF (e.g. 4x) you can get the frame rate from a benchmark? There are plenty who would say quit while you're ahead, but I stand by always advising BIOS updates for the documented (and undocumented) improvements.
  19. The Aura device must be in the BIOS, it's still listed in the dxdiag. The manual refers to the control (I've taken the liberty of posting the German) I have a tale of my old board and T300 that would not turn off until I disabled ErP support. Looking at the manual, can you try ensuring the G29 is plugged into one of the USB 2.0 ports labelled (3)? Try not to use the USB 3.1 or the front panel connector or a hub (I see the keyboard has one, don't use it for the wheel). Also if the Razer Mouse and G19 Keyboard are plugged into one of the USB 3.1 ports and any RGB effects are turned off. Also, once any service software has been used to update the firmware in either, just uninstall it for troubleshooting. Don't plug the G29 PSU into a surge socket either. Direct to the wall mains outlet is best. If you must use a gang socket, try removing as many other devices as possible.

    changed graphics card and now f1 2019 crashing

    You can't JUST change the motherboard. Doing that you need a new CPU, faster memory (at least, maybe new). I did outline the procedure in an earlier post. If you are prepared for that, there is nothing to lose doing the BIOS update. If you mess it up (this board has a Crash Free BIOS so you should be OK and you seem willing to learn) https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8H61-M_LE/E6476_P8H61-M_LE_series.zip?_ga=2.201837649.1128215772.1588709142-2053938894.1588709142 is the manual if you don't have it.
  21. All good ideas and in the right order! 🙂

    DDU and go back to 442.74 for the drivers. 445 Series is future tech, it's not really aimed at your card. Enable VSYNC. Set the refresh to 60Hz, try 'High' preset. But yes, seriously the BIOS update and the Windows patch are important. You can try DDU the ATI drivers, even if you think they're uninstalled. DDU works best in Safe Mode.

    We have got to have a working issues post as well. Use the arrow on the preview link, not the preview text.

    changed graphics card and now f1 2019 crashing

    Try deleting the hardware_settings_config.xml before starting the game. That should force a redetect. Immediately you launch, check the settings are on Medium at least. Save the changes and exit, then test. Honestly, a lot of these suggestions are in the troubleshooting FAQ - you don't need to disable any overlays unless it is suggested to do so. The Steam overlay suggestion still persists on Steam forums for the game and that was for Nvidia users on the 430 driver series. Outdated information is just dangerous.
