    I'm thinking on buying a new controller. I was looking to buy the Astro C40 but I wanted to know if someone has any experience racing F1 games with it? I used to have a Nacon revolution 2 that didn't play nice with F1 games. The Nacon Unlimited Pro however did a good job after some adjustments but the Dpad is not working properly anymore. I noticed the Astro C40 is modular so in an event of a Dpad not working I just replace them. 

    I probably will be playing F1 2020 for the coming months so I wanted to know if someone has any experience with this controller and the previous F1 games. Does it steer like the DS4 of will I need to do a lot of adjusting to make it feel right with racing games like F1 2020.

    Yes I considered a wheel but I need a new controller.

    £189 for a controller. Sheesh. 

    Let me reframe that....£189 for a....pad.

    Tracking the order and it says its coming today from ShopTo who usually send it out early but not this early. However was wondering would i be able to release a video today or do i have to wait till release day?

    If you do please make it about how bad the gold code is. Then when the day one patch is applied at least you can go on about what a great job the beta testers did given the sow's ear. 🙂

    That means it should come out on the 7th at 9am AEST

    Not sure. I don't live there, but global games are released by territory AFAIK. Only benefit of living in the UK is Earth Standard Time is GMT.

    Sorry dont know what you mean pal?

    steam sells 70th edition for £44.99 and deluxe schumacker for £54.99

    The argument for buying digital loses traction when it's cheaper to buy a DVD than the platform digital store.

    Steam do have a lot of sale seasons. Also, we've not mentioned key resellers. Because physical and digital copies also sell at different prices in different territories then you can buy the game cheaper digitally if you use a reseller.

    I last bought a physical copy in 2016. I used to be on console (X360).

    F1 2010 I bought with the console as a 'free' game. (I also got Forza 3 and FIFA 10).

    F1 2011 I bought from ShopTo as I did with F1 2012 and F1 2016 (PC DVD) because I got a loyalty deal.

    F1 2013 Classic Edition (X360) and F1 2014 (PC) I think was from Bee.com but it was still physical. (F1 2013 was the last console title before moving to PC, I then sold the console and games).

    F1 2015 I bought from Steam on sale.

    F1 2017 I bought from CDKeys.com as I did F1 2018 & F1 2019.

    F1 2020 Schumacher Edition was 'free' with a Fanatec steering wheel (yes, that one).

    Oddly I picked up F1 2012 (new) as a physical copy on Amazon, F1 2010 and F1 2011 (both preowned) as physical on eBay. At that point, I wasn't mandated to Steam.

    I also added F1 2010, F1 2011 and F1 2013 Classic Edition digitally in Steam sales (purely because installing F1 2010 from disc was a pain with GFWL and there was a patch).

    I also bought F1 2009 on Wii even though I don't have one (I used to play it on a relative's system that is now not accessible as they've moved 😉 )

    Prices?

    Console was always more expensive. Only F1 2010 and F1 2015 were not day one releases.

    Just bought a gaming pc after using console for years , disappointed to find  the f1 2019 graphics are worse then my Xbox graphics .. I’m sure there is a fix if someone can help. Everything seems fine until I get to the main menu and then it is very dull and resolution looks ordinary when on track  - appears not bright enough 

    Post a dxdiag, sounds like you're used to HDR, not quite like your XB1. But PC does have some advantages.

    what is ridiculous is that bs you are posting.

    Look, you can call it what you want. It's not a BS point of view, you saying that is virtue signalling.

    Sport will tire of these token gestures - because it's what they are. Because, attention span....ooh, shiny. Raising awareness, donating, makes you feel better about yourself and trying to project you give a **** about this week's chosen topic. 

    No, you have to live this ****. Like clapping for the NHS, waste of ten weeks; might as well have all slapped each other on the back for ten weeks.

    How you act - has a direct influence on how the NHS were able to deal with the first wave (and I say first wave). Staying home, observing protocol, washing hands, acting responsibly towards others. Plenty of people can be Covidiots and still clap. "What a great guy" Nope, maybe not, maybe he broke restrictions because of self, etc.

    I digress, but the point is the same. You're not going to reach the individuals who have the mindset to be prejudiced against anyone else unless you tackle them directly and take action. 

    How long before the PL drop the 'taking the knee' message? I reckon by the end of this domestic season if not sooner. And it won't have changed a thing. 

    And yeah the majority of fair-minded people will accept this "message" for as long as it endures. I don't think it's a bad thing, but to let it go unchallenged and say "we have to do this", no I'm sorry, they don't. Also, some fair-minded people CAN say "I find all this a bit wide of the point". Individuals are nurtured, not brainwashed.

    Lewis Hamilton drives the Mercedes because he is the best driver. He drives Mercedes because they have the best car. Let's not go into the ethics of German industry, because it can read like the legacy of the British Empire which some people want to seemingly power-wash from history and punish the people of the present for past wrongs.

    We are all people. I believe in the individual and I believe in meritocracy. What we have right now is a mess, pretty far from that.

    @BarryBL you might want to work your magic on some of these comments.

    As a message to all, please be civil with your discussions. What started out as people reacting to Mercedes’ new livery turned sour very quickly. 

    This isn’t me blocking the issue but this just isn’t the place for these kinds of discussions.

    "Valterri, it's James...." 

    F1 should be a meritocracy. It's not. Money talks, make a point about that. It tarnishes the sport (if it can still be classified as that).

    Turbo hybrids are greener, but go against the ethos of The Formula (which has become so diluted that I'm not even sure it has lineage).

    Let's go fully Tron and have done with it. Interactive race seat via Google Stadia.

    I'm started playing again after a break away from the game and when I run it DX12 I get some horrible stuttering/flickering and lines all over the screen.
    When I run in DX11 I don't get this at all.
    I'm using a GTX 1080Ti with no mods and I use a logitech G920. I have updated my Nvidia drivers to the latest without any success.

    The game runs fine as it's only in the menu's I see the issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    Put the FPS counter on, the FPS goes skyrocketing in the menus (known issue, no word on why or if it will be considered for a fix). I recommend frame capping as a fix.

    So suddently after the latest nvidia drivers install I am having the weird brokem flickering sky issies on pc with my gtx 1060 😕

    Never had issues until now.

    Because right now Nvidia are churning out garbage month on month. They want to focus on toys for new hardware; DLSS and HAGS. Unless your card starts with RTX they've had your cash. Just my 10c.

    Hi,

    I had a funny "bug" during Season 3 in career : after the last Abu Dhabi GP, my team Renault and Ferrari ended up having the very same amount of points (570 each I believe).

    In real life, such a tie is decided by the number of victories (and if tie again, then 2nd places, and so on). Renault had 10 wins, Ferrari 9... Therefore Renault should have been declared Champion, and I should have received a Constructors Trophy at the end of the season.

    Instead, the game failed to understand that the season was over, and that Renault won by their number of wins. It just... "skipped" the Constructors championship's result altogether.

    Not a real "bug", but I found funny that the game couldn't deal with such a tie - not a very likely one, I agree. Nevertheless, something needs to be fixed regarding points calculation, wouldn't you say ? :classic_happy:

    Agree, but the patch cycle is over for F1 2019. Hopefully the developers will check for this in F1 2020. It is definitely a bug.

    is the day1  patch usually big?
    I have a very slow internet (2mb),it may not be worthwhile to transfer the pre load and then have a very large patch

    Without wanting to give too much away I think it will be quite large yes.

  12. Fairly sure it's the game framerate and the desktop refresh getting out of sync.

    If you were to cap the framerate at lower than the desktop then I'm sure it would be fine. 

    It's just I have a 99Hz option on the framerate and 100Hz desktop. Depending on HOW it's capped I think is also important. It's also important to note that Freesync and G-Sync screens should have V-SYNC ON to meet the spec.

    I know if I have V-SYNC OFF the in-game framelimiter doesn't really work, especially if the game is in a menu as the FPS counters shoot up over 130FPS.

    But the crashing is exacerbated by the 2004 build.
