  1. I hear you @BarryBL one thing you HAVE to get through to the developers and game managers is DO NOT GO AFTER THE CASUAL MARKET.

    The last two broadcasts should have been an excellent chance to showcase a product to a slightly wider audience. Everyone is starved of sporting entertainment at present, hell I even watched the virtual Grand National (backed 5th place, typically 🙂 ) but to compare the two - apples and oranges as they were, sadly I can't see how anyone new to the game or the sport could have had their interest held for more than 20 seconds before turning over.

    Esports is as Esports does, but quite honestly (and notwithstanding it being presented as a bit of fun) the whole tone of the broadcasts do nothing to promote the worth or value of anyone associated with it (Simracing). People will argue (and I agree) that this is pretty far from Simracing as presented.

    Comparing it with the Esports seasons as presented so far on F1 2017 and F1 2018 they were far more engaging and entertaining DESPITE being aimed at the gaming community.

    Let's be honest, as far as TV is concerned, it's done. Virtual to real life was done with GT Academy on Gran Turismo - Jann Mardenborough and his ilk. Actually graduated to real seats in real top level events (F2 and Le Mans). F1 will never take Esports seriously as the time to do so was passed under the stewardship of the poison dwarf (Bernie Ecclestone) although you should be careful what you wish for as Liberty (Chase Carey and cronies) are just trying to up the hype and razmatazz US stylee. They are alienating their current customer base and clearly do not have a clue how to progress, they are out of their depth; as the handling of the whole lead up to the non-start of this season in Australia and the lack of leadership and a plan for going forward.

    This ultimately is reflected in their decision to re-award the license / franchise for the F1 title back to Codemasters and their lack of interest in the trashing of what is left of the sport.

    Core game is paramount. Core fanbase is paramount.

    You're not seeing the signposts. They are clear to almost everyone else!

    HI @hellingN4,

    A 'one-lap' penalty is something that doesn't exist in F1. Can you replicate? Do you have any photos or videos at all?

    This has occurred before @BarryBL if you look in some of the other threads, it has happened in career mode a lot where people win the race on their screen but are classified a lap down and therefore last.

    I think this might be more of an issue with Lando's PC, but I'm not defending the game - game crashing when transitioning is unacceptable.

    Though I noticed Lando does Alt-Tab a lot I think, so probably running the game in Fullscreen Windowed might help him? I have no idea unfortunately.

     

    Also F1 2020 game news when? Since so far I have no idea what to expect in the game, even from F1 2019 files.

    IDK what hardware he runs but the latest Nvidia driver seems very iffy. But that then assumes a level of awareness about the technical side that we're not sure he's abreast of.

    Also, this week I did not watch his stream, just the F1/Sky coverage via YT.

    What do you mean? They always have branches for various things, including esports. Sometimes they get new features a bit quicker, sometimes it's just stuff like advertising boards being changed etc.

    The only difference I was able to spot was the event sponsors I believe?

    Yeah that and the lap counter showing 2/15 & 3/15 during qualifying. If they did change the sponsor boards, how much of it was to charge any names appearing a different rate? More cash for Codemasters.

    Such a stable game that features like damage and Safety Car were turned off.

    Twice in a row Lando drops connection to the game. Get him to post a dxdiag lol

    Listen, this was better than the fiasco that was Bahrain. At least we did get a qualifying and 50% race. Not a 25% with a reloaded grid.

    Hi - what do the black bars mean next to some of the driver tags in online racing? Thanks!

    Connection to that driver is poor. Ping is over 100ms, at 500ms they go to an 'x' like when they're in menus. 

    Speculation says that you are probably seeing that driver being updated by the host alone. Net code uses a connection to the host and the driver in front and behind.

    Hey, 

    I've been playing this game for 20 odd hours and it's been crashing constantly. It looks like my Microsoft Sidewinder wheel is crashing the game. I'm getting appdata temp folder errors.

    If I leave it unplugged the game runs fine.

    Did someone experience something like this before? Some help would be greatly appreciated.

    dxdiag + steam and ego crash dumps attached. 

    DxDiag.txt

    egodumper.log

    crash_dump#614494-20200406-043340-0.zip

    F2 BIOS if you don't already have it has a STR (Suspend-to-RAM) compatibility fix (it's old, 2014).

    Also can you set the page file management to automatic as the page file usage looks high?

    I am also trying to merge other threads and collating information on 445.75, would you DDU and try 442.74 please?

    f1 2019

    I7700K

    Nvidia 445.75

    GTX1080 TI

    Windows 10
    File version 1.0.62.4494

     

    The current state of keyboard support on PC is quite bad, First off when i logged on to the game excited to play today i was meet with a screen telling me to press any key. After that i got to a new screen and the option was highlighted but nothing worked.  Then i had to connect a controller to get trough the second stage. The controller does not work on the first stage, only Enter on the keyboard does. Furthermore backspace does not work. You can move it with the arrow keys and use the delete button instead but this is really basic things. I haven't gotten into any career mode yet so i hope there's nothing more. I may update the post. 

    Uninstall the 445.75, it's bad. DDU and use 442.74 please.


  8. The unarc error you got with the ***** version was an unpacking (decompression) error, unrelated to the game. 

    I suggest you fully remove all files associated with that installation - in fact, I'd recommend you reinstall Windows 10. If you will run software from unverified sources then this is the price.

    Before I look at the dxdiag.txt, please do this.

    However, I can tell you that altering the default setting for the paging file WILL cause you issues. Set it to Automatic.

    I have it set to 362 degrees. Won't let me put exact on 360

    You can type in the box with the cursor IIRC 🙂 However, I may be getting my LGS versions confused. I defintely know the persistent profile was in LGS 8.xx.xxx with the G920.

    You are using the correct software for the DFGT.

    Do you just have the DFGT connected or is there another controller? Try disconnecting if there is. Also, try deleting the hardware_settings_config.xml before starting the game. This should force your controller to be redetected.

    Also, check the controller is calibrated in the Windows 'Devices and Printers'.

    Finally, set the control schemas to using the default for the DGFT. Only when you have correct operation on the axes should you remap any controls.

    Good luck!

    Just the pedals switched. So left is now throttle and right brakes. Axis is correct.  Control Panel checks are perfectly correct.  

    The simplest way to do this would be to remap the controls in-game.

    Go into the control settings and map the right pedal to throttle and left pedal to brake. Be sure to have pressed the pedals fully and released before you go into the game settings.

    Then do the same in the in-game, when remapping be sure to fully press and depress the pedals and save the new scheme and play!

    Thanks for your continued support

    Installed the driver and firmware. Found a rogue armourycrate service and stopped that. Installed the ME Driver and Firmware. Game still crashed

    Turned graphic detail down to low. So far no crash. Will run it like this for a bit then turn up individual settings until I find one that goes boom, might take me a few days.

    Thanks for the info about the integrated GPU.

    Install Armoury Crate. Use Geek uninstaller to remove. Sounds counter-intuitive, but sometimes you need to install to remove properly.
