F1 2011 |OT| Not bad for a number 2 game
- Thread starter Lucius86
- Start date
These online issues are a bummer. Hopefully a quick fix comes out soon because I bought the game solely because of the GAF league and the talking Codies did about all the work they put into it. I am getting way better performance than 2010 it seems, so that's good. The soundtrack isn't as strong as last year so I think I'll play my own stuff while racing.

That is what I am running. Works great but I am considering on purchasing the PC version as well.

Yeah, I know. I just hope they patch it in, along with Monza's DRS zones.

sorry for the late reply...
urm mate, i think you misunderstood something here
fanatec abs =
you set it just right before the point your brakes lock. so your wheel will start to rumble and you can break with the max possible amount. a bit more and they lock...
thats the point of the wheels abs.
Compiled a circuit guide from Allianz earlier to have a reference/guide for trying out manual transmission - been an automatic guy for sooo long.
I'm sure most of you might not need it... but sharing it here, good for newbs:

So how are people finding the career mode on here? I find its one of 'those' games where its either too easy or too hard. I'm in the Williams and get pole pretty much every time when set on professional so stick it up to legendary for the practise and qualy and then professional for the race, even then I get a ridiculously good start and spend the whole time fending guys off from over taking me the entire race. If I make it easier I just go off into the distance. Hopefully I'll get a drive with one of the better teams next season and things may be a bit more straight forward.
I've also been stitched with the pit 'problem' again a few times, where I'm just waiting for cars to go by as if I'm in a junction waiting to turn into a supermarket car park. What the fuck is that shit?

Cool, thanks for this.deim0s said:
Although I just jumped straight in with the manual transmission this time. Within a few laps I found it pretty easy to workout what gear you should be in.
The thing that really gets me is having no traction control, I keep spinning when im in a bad car (No problems when in Red bull)
Oh my word. Codemasters, you really need to get a patch out right now. I simply cannot believe that so many new bugs have been introduced into F1 2011 and stuff like this is simply unacceptable.Juicy Bob said:
The thing is, once these issues are fixed the game will be a dramatic improvement on F1 2010 but for now, I have to wonder just why it was shipped in such a state.

My copy is in reception. They're taking our rent out today so they can't sort through the packages quicker!

Grrr, rain in at least one session of every race weekend I have done in career so far. The AI in the wet is bullshit and making my season very frustrating. I hate changing around the AI difficulty based on weather. On professional on dry, I feel like my Lotus and I are finishing fine, but as soon as it gets wet, +7 in 24th place. Sigh. Many other bugs too.

I stopped playing my career 4 days ago because of that.
Just have no sense and my whole enjoyment is ruined.
I do not really care about any of other *bugs*, not even the pit one - I can treat it as my crew being an idiots for that one time - but wet AI is completely ruining my career playtime and it really shouldn't be like that - because this time career mode has all imaginable foundations to keep me interested for at least 3 seasons.
If I could vote for one single thing being patched out, that would be wet AI behavior.
And save corruption too. These are the two things that I think need to be patched... like yesterday! Such a shame they released the game in such a state. This is the last time I buy a game on release. It's the same story over and over again.amar212 said:
Have Codies said any word regarding the miriad of bugs present in their game?

This is just an all too familiar feeling. These days it seems that pre-order = beta testing and QC since the studio couldn't afford to do it themselves.

dubc35 said:Had my second rainy GP yesterday, second P24 finish.The physics feel so good in the wet too.
So true, which makes it painful to loathe the wet races. I normally excel at wet weather racing so I used to look forward to them in other games including F1 2010.
Actually properly done the Melbourne GP.
20%, Legendary AI, no assists - finished 3rd in the Force India./)
It was wet in the first practice session an i finished at like 23rd or something.
I'm gonna start using 11/11 in the wet from now on.
Performance is sort of fixed. Still not getting 100+fps though.
Game is using all of the 4 cores on the CPU and about 80-95% of GPU.
Getting 60fps stable in most situations and less than 40 in the pits/pit straight.

People finishing so high up on Legendary, are you getting ahead at the start and then just defending? Or are you genuinely outpacing the AI?

In my Force India, without the 11-11 glitch, I usually qualify in the top 12 and then do some good overtakes when the group Is bunched up to be 5th or 6th by the end of the first lap.
Then it's just a matter of good defending really.

The online mode of this game needs a huge injection of common sense. Whoever had the idea of restarting the count down to the start of a game every time someone enters a room with enough space for 16 players is without doubt, an idiot. I'm baffled.

Seriously, what the fuck is going on? This is could in theory happen forever. I'm in the same lobby waiting since my previous post and still haven't started a game. Others get fed up and leave and get replaced which restarts the timer. Totally idiotic. What was wrong with the shorter timer and ready up mechanism from the previous game..?? Why change something that worked so well?? Utterly fucking ridiculous, its sheer stupidity!

Doesn't that annoy you though? On most circuits it's not that hard to get right up to the front in the first few corners. Defending the whole race from then on makes whatever position I achieve feel cheap.

Eh, defending hard is good fun. I prefer it to being in the fastest car and being half a lap ahead even against the hardest AI.Bungieware said:

I qualified 7th, made a few places up at turn 2. Stay at about 5th for about 2 more laps. Pass Massa at 4th and Alonso at 3rd. Defend, they are quite literally on your tail. Pit, lose some places, gain back places. Alonso still behind me pushing like crazy. Me using KERS and him using DRS. He couldn't pass me and Alonso and Massa fell back near the end of the GP.
It was quite nice but the Legendary AI should be MUCH faster than that.
Note: I wasn't using 11/11 exploit at all.

There's some mods out for F1 2010 that make it absolutely excellent such as altering the AI so they're actually harder to beat. So far I have no need of F1 2011, especially with Forza 4 round the corner. The info about the bugs is a major turn off.
Play custom GP.TylerD said:
It's so ironic how in F1 2010 I absolutely loathed the custom GP online, but now it's the total opposite....I hate quick race mode(because of the issue stated above) and love custom GP. Custom GP is so much better than F1 2010. Hell I even enjoy doing semi-long races now.

Custom races are problematic because most people seem to join races already in progress. I set up the lobby with other GAFers the other day and it didn't fill at all, then as soon as we were in the race about 10 people joined.
We always did custom races in 2010 and usually had no problem finding people.
